Our Vision
The companies partnering with us will collaborate in advancing technology, policy, and industry-academia-government partnerships related to wireless, cloud, and backbone networks of the future.
The NextG Initiative at Princeton is creating the foundation for intelligent networks of the future across wireless, backbone networking, and cloud systems. The initiative will focus on cross-disciplinary approaches, bringing theory to practice, and covering the ‘full stack’ from the underlying technological fabric in integrated electronic and photonic circuits and systems, edge networks, IOT and cloud, to foundational theory, algorithms and AI approaches that make these networks scalable, efficient, secure, and accessible. Through Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy, we are also driving government policy and regulations to ensure these networks have the regulatory framework and spectrum needed for their success.
