Fellowship Project Summary  

IL250100082 - Holographic WiFi for Digital Mining 

Digital mining is an urgent global priority for enhancing productivity, safety, and operational efficiency. However, the lack of scalable, cost-effective ICT infrastructure remains a significant barrier to fully realising the potential of digital mining. Professor Yonghui Li’s project will deliver HoloFi, a revolutionary WiFi system, that transforms conventional WiFi networks into multifunctional ICT infrastructure. It will enable a single WiFi network to simultaneously provide inherent communication, situational awareness sensing, and distributed AI processing at scale, delivering a cost-effective ICT infrastructure. As industries move toward digital transformation, HoloFi will be indispensable, delivering significant economic and social benefits for Australia.
