Thomas Chen, CEO of Speed Wireless, Rob Hill, Chief Antenna Scientist of Speed Wireless, and their team visited campus on Tuesday, May 23, 2017, in order to present a check to Steven W. McLaughlin, Steve W. Chaddick School Chair of ECE, and to tour ECE facilities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA portion of the total has been earmarked for a research project with Assistant Professor Hua Wang\u0026rsquo;s Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-Systems (GEMS) Lab. The contracted research project is supported by $1.1 million in funding and will be dedicated to developing ultra-high-speed broadband integrated circuit front-ends that support next-generation commercial 5G mm-Wave MIMO systems. The remaining $1 million will be in the form of an unrestricted cash gift to the School to support advanced electronic research.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We sincerely appreciate this funding from Speed\u0026nbsp;Wireless. This generous support\u0026nbsp;will allow us to explore a wide variety of\u0026nbsp;high-risk, high-reward topics in the field of mm-Wave integrated\u0026nbsp;electronics. I strongly believe that our risk-taking\u0026nbsp;research efforts today\u0026nbsp;will lead to revolutionary electronic\u0026nbsp;technologies and radically change our ways\u0026nbsp;of communication and sensing the world in the future,\u0026rdquo; said Wang, who holds the Demetrius T.
