Wireless Grids Corporation

Research Summary

Since the company’s founding in 2004, Wireless Grids Corporation (WGC) has been driving a new industry standard in software applications with its mission being to simplify our ever-increasing digital lives.

The research and collaborative effort that eventually developed into Wireless Grids first took its first steps in the 1990s and proceeded with the help of a National Science Foundation (NSF) funding grant in 2002. A follow-on grant from the NSF was awarded again this year to promote the continuation of developing an industry standard for the wireless grids technology concept. More...
