[Ccarc] SDR for 700 MHz

[Tom Murray]

	New Report Touts SDR for 700 MHz Public-Safety Network (12/10)
	

	
The Software Defined Radio (SDR) Forum issued a report identifying how
SDR and cognitive-radio technologies can facilitate implementing a
nationwide interoperable broadband network in the 700 MHz spectrum,
conforming to FCC regulations.

Initiated
by the forum's public safety special interest group (SIG) and prepared
by an ad-hoc committee, the 21-page report cites the upcoming auction
and licensing of the 700 MHz spectrum as a unique opportunity to
fulfill the growing demand for spectrum resources for commercial and
public-safety broadband applications. The report recognizes the
challenges that implementing the proposed network presents: meeting the
divergent needs of commercial and public-safety users; coverage; shared
operational control; robustness; adaptability; and spectrum use in the
absence of network buildout.

The
report offers specific examples of how SDR and cognitive-radio
technologies can be used to address critical implementation challenges.
One such approach incorporates SDR, cognitive-radio and
dynamic-spectrum access technologies in both the system infrastructure
and subscriber units to provide a highly flexible network solution.

The full report is available at www.sdrforum.org.
