SyracuseCoE is not limited to the labs and testbeds in our HQ building. We work with many offsite facilities, including research centers and testing facilities. By working with SyracuseCoE, our industry Partners, faculty, and collaborators have access to these facilities, expanding their resources and expertise for research and development. This allows for more comprehensive testing and validation of new technologies and promotes innovation and growth. Through these collaborations, our Partners benefit from increased exposure to the newest technologies and ideas, and have the opportunity to share their own knowledge and expertise with other industry leaders and researchers.
