Network

CCI SWVA builds on the collaboration and combined expertise of our network. Extensive research capabilities, industry partnerships, and excellence in education combine to secure 5G wireless infrastructure and other emerging technologies for connected, intelligent, and autonomous applications ranging from transportation to power to satellites.

CCI’s southwest region, led by Virginia Tech, comprises 16 institutions of higher education.
