TRANSCRIPT
WIRELESS GRID INNOVATION TESTBED
Brief Project Overview:The Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed (WiGiT) refines transformative technologies for edgeware or personal cyberinfrastructure to bridge wireless network middleware and grid application layers and accelerate adoption of new products and services.
WiGiT research and experiments serve industry needs for intra-system, or crossover work on grid or cloud computing on one platform and wireless Internet on another, contributing to open standards and application programming interfaces.
For more information see http://wglab.syr.edu
Top Contributions:
1. WiGiT will spur growth of new companies and transformative wireless grid applications.
2. ‘Edgeware’ for wireless grid applications and cognitive radios are unique as is WiGiT’s scalable Virtual Organization.
3. WiGiT personal cyberinfrastructure is for people-to-people, people-to-resources, and people-to-facilities interactions.
4. WiGiT Open Specifications will link open applications programming interfaces for cognitive radios to wireless grids edgeware.
5. Use cases for collaborative learning, gaming, defense, emergency response, neighborhood notification and urban farms/greenhouses.

Key Attributes of our Innovation Ecosystem:
Questioning & Curiosity:The Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed (WiGiT) collaborative learning by university and high school students.
Risk Taking: WiGiT encourages trusting experimental resources of others; such as Virginia Tech’s CORNET Cognitive Radio Network Testbed.
Openness:WiGiT requires open innovation and is open to new partners; WiGiT specifications are open; open source software is testbed base.
Collaboration Across Fields:WiGiT includes engineering, information, management, architecture, physics & environmental science students and faculty.
Placing Partners in “New Environments” & “Playgrounds”:WiGiT is a new virtual environment for playing with ideas, experiments and applications including games across campuses and companies.
Leading/Inspiring or Surprising or Unexpected ResultsThe flux of companies, universities and government agencies collaborating in our Virtual Organization is even greater than we imagined.
