HIGH-TECH RESEARCH ROUNDTABLE MEETING SCHEDULED AT BSU FEB. 22

Research and development engineers and managers from high-tech companies along with Idaho entrepreneurs who are looking for potential product ideas in the high-tech arena are invited to attend the quarterly Wireless Research Roundtable meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, in the Farnsworth Room of the Boise State University Student Union. Attendance is free and parking in the lot next to the Student Union will be validated.

Originated in 1999 and sponsored by the BSU College of Engineering, the roundtable is designed to provide a forum to discuss research results in the wireless consumer products field.

The Research Roundtable was established in conjunction with a $500,000 National Science Foundation EPSCoR two-year grant awarded in 1999 to Boise State’s College of Engineering. The grant was awarded for the project Development of a Low-Power, RF Integrated Circuit R&D Infrastructure in Idaho for the Rapid Commercialization of Wireless Personal Communication Consumer Products, which will use venture capital to initiate an ongoing, sustainable research program at Boise State in low-power, RF-CMOS devices and integrated circuits.

The project will include collaboration between Boise State, the University of Idaho and Idaho State University researchers as well as engineers from existing Idaho microelectronics companies, business leaders, entrepreneurs and the state economic development agencies.
