Description: The purpose of the Lee Center for Advanced Networking is create a global communication system that is reliable and robust. Current wireless communication systems are plagued by static and lost connections. But Lee researchers envision a global system as reliable as a basic utility—like tap water, sewage or natural gas—which consumers will take for granted. The skeleton of this new global communication system will consist of a combination of wireless radio frequencies and high-speed fiber-optic cable. The Lee Center is the brainchild of Caltech graduate and venture capitalist David Lee, whose David and Ellen Lee Foundation donated $10 million to establish a center for networking research and fund it for ten years. Rather than fund a specific single program, Lee intends the Center’s researchers to have free rein to “start a lot of little projects.”
