Greetings from the NCO Team.
Through The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the NITRD Wireless Spectrum Research and Development Interagency Working Group (WSRD IWG), released the National Spectrum Research and Development Plan. This plan has identified key innovation areas for spectrum research. Thank you to the entire interagency working group for their dedication to finishing this document. We invite you to read the plan here.
The NITRD NCO team will attend and exhibit at The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC24) next month in Atlanta, Ga. In addition to exhibiting and public outreach, we will be hosting two IWG meetings. For those attending, we look forward to connecting with you in person at the NITRD booth.
Sincerely,
