Telecom Lead America: Semiconductor major Intel will
invest more than $40 million over the next 5 years in a worldwide network of
university research communities called the Intel Collaborative Research
Institutes (ICRI).
The new Intel Collaborative Research Institute program
underscores our commitment to establishing and funding collaborative university
research to fuel global innovation in key areas and help address some of
today’s most challenging problems,” said Justin Rattner, chief technology
officer at Intel.
The three new ICRIs include the ICRI for Sustainable
Connected Cities in United Kingdom, the ICRI for Secure Computing in Germany
and the ICRI for Computational Intelligence in Israel.
The company said that the ICRI program is based on the
successful U.S.-based Intel Science and Technology Centers (ISTCs).
Furthermore, the new program will bring together experts
from academia and industry to help explore and invent in the next generation of
technologies that could impact the lives of many in the future.
The company said that the three ICRIs will collaborate
with their own multi-university communities and other ICRIs, as well as the
U.S.-based ISTCs, strengthening Intel’s global research network.
In addition, two previously established centers are being
incorporated in the ICRI program: Intel Visual Computing Institute (Saarland
University) and the Intel-NTU Connected Context Computing Center (National
Taiwan University), extending Intel’s global research network even further.
Intel has long recognized that the computing industry is
sustained by the efforts of many participants. We are hopeful that we will be
able to expand the program and include other industry and government sponsors
to find new ways to accelerate the creation and adoption of valuable new
technologies,” said Chris Ramming, director of Intel Labs University
Collaborations Office.
Intel joins forces with Huawei on LTE TDD
Recently, Intel Corporation and Chinese telecom equipment
maker Huawei announced a collaboration to advance the development of
interoperability testing and deployment of LTE TDD solutions.
Under the collaboration, both companies will establish
a joint lab based in China for IOT (Interoperability
Test) and fast implementation of LTE TDD technology.
