Agility is Key to the Future of Wireless!

The Wireless Innovation Laboratory (WI Lab) was founded in August 2007 by Professor Alexander M. Wyglinski in order to advance our understanding of technologies and algorithms that can help improve society's usage of radio frequency spectrum for a wide range of wireless applications. WI Lab is located in Room AK207A on the second floor of the Atwater Kent Laboratories building at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA.
