U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith toured The University of Texas at Austin’s wireless research lab recently while announcing he obtained a $1.2 million appropriation for electrical engineers to create advanced wireless communication devices for military use. The Defense Appropriations Bill, which the U.S. House of Representatives passed with funds directed toward developing advanced broadband wireless integrated circuits at the university, contained the funds requested by Smith. |
