“When you look at the breadth of this kind of outage, it really kind of in my mind points to some kind of software problem. You have to be concerned about the security aspects of that as well,” said Cindy Hood, a wireless communication and networks expert at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Even with service being restored, Hood said there are likely to be some changes following the incident. “This kind of outage will always trigger some kind of oversight.”

“This is quite an honor and a ringing endorsement for our work pushing the boundaries of advanced wireless technology,” says Cynthia Hood, associate professor of computer science and engineering and Illinois Tech’s faculty lead in the consortium. “This Strategy Development Grant will enable us to further our research, collaborate more deeply with our partners and accelerate the implementation of advanced wireless solutions in the Midwest.”
