Principal Investigator Hari Balakrishnan

Co-investigators Dina Katabi , David Clark , Keith J Winstein , Devavrat Shah


The goal of the MIT Center for Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing (Wireless@MIT) is to develop next-generation wireless network technologies and mobile computing systems. The features of the Center are:

(1) An interdisciplinary focus that brings together over fifteen MIT professors and their groups, conducting research in networking, communication and information theory, systems, security, hardware, algorithms, and societal applications (transportation, health care, and autonomous systems) .

(2) A strong industrial partnership and an emphasis on influencing and impacting standards and products.

(3) A neutral ground where companies, academics, and government representatives can discuss the future of the wireless industry.

The center focuses on developing new solutions that enable communication-intensive applications across large numbers of wireless and mobile devices.
