Federated Wireless’ Post

U.S. spectrum policy now plays a crucial role, driving the domestic economy, allocating resources for national defense, and shaping the competitiveness of American industries and innovators on the global stage. For this reason, future spectrum policy must balance the interests of all parties, not just a select few. https://bit.ly/4bH0wLH

This is a nice recap of the state of dynamic spectrum sharing, with a special focus on CBRS, by Dean Bubley. He and I have very similar assessments of the current state of affairs, as well as the increasing importance of these sharing regimes going forward. One other advantage that I don't see much discussion of is the fact that by engaging with industry to share spectrum collaboratively, the military gains experience with its operations in non-exclusive access spectrum and can innovate future systems to better operate in those environments. That may very well prove to be an advantage for its longer term electronic warfare capabilities. https://lnkd.in/e7xxjBZm

What matters is not which competitor has historically invested more, but instead, which design rules will best support competition and innovation and deliver the most consumer value in the provision of wireless services. 

#ICYMI: The White House recently endorsed the core principles for #6G wireless networks, making them more expansive, secured, and resilient for the United States and its allies. R&E’s FutureG Office is at the forefront of this revolution and heavily involved in research and development to standardize wireless networks. Collaborating with trusted international partners is a FutureG priority and will lead to inclusive and interoperable networks that support the Department of Defense’s Combined, Joint, All-Domain Command-and-Control capabilities while making the world safer and more secured. https://lnkd.in/dVuDy4A5

The US National Spectrum Strategy has identified, among other spectrum ranges, 3.1-3.45 GHz as a potential resource for deploying next generation wireless technologies. The Department of Defense and the National Spectrum Consortium relaunched the Partnering to Advance Trusted and Holistic Spectrum Solutions (PATHSS) workgroup last month. https://lnkd.in/ewh7rPvk Their first meeting was held on Wednesday, May 22 bringing together representatives from the government, academia and industry to explore how to share the spectrum between federal and commercial users. This is an extremely ambitious project requiring multiple breakthrough innovations. The challenges were highlighted in the (partially redacted) report published last year. The very best minds from all stakeholders need to work together in order to make the most efficient use of this extremely valuable part of the spectrum.

In high-leverage, chaotic, and fast-moving scenarios, seamless communication is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity. Radio interoperability is the backbone that connects diverse agencies and first responders, ensuring they can work together efficiently in critical moments. The ability to communicate across different systems and platforms is crucial for coordinating efforts, deploying resources, and ultimately saving lives.   When disaster strikes, chaos can easily disrupt traditional means of communicating. With radio interoperability technology from REDCOM, various agencies and organizations can bridge the gap between disparate technologies, enabling a unified response even in the most fast-paced environments. REDCOM's unique capability ensures that everyone — from local law enforcement to federal agencies to the Secret Service — can stay connected and coordinated, making every second count when an incident occurs. https://lnkd.in/ghHJ3PJA

There are many instances where a unique broadband wireless network is required for secure, low-latency private communications, particularly in mission-critical sectors, such as defence. This demonstration shows how innovative private 4G and 5G core network technology developed by Athonet, now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, enables not only individual deployments but also a virtual grid of interconnected, federated wireless networks, as well as the shared use of spectrum through the use of slicing capabilities. ☞ Watch now: https://lnkd.in/eYd6YDJZ Featuring Stefano Cocco, WW Business Development, Athonet, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise acquisition #MWC24 #SpotlightOn5G #LowLatency #Broadband #Wireless #5G #CoreNetwork

Network forms of organization are critical for the data/information/knowledge/wisdom (DIKW) sharing. How does a centralized power like the PRC will deal with it? Network topology must be a hub-and-spoke type in an autocracy. That means that a edge can't take full advantage of the self-sincronization needed when its spoke possess more DIKW than the others. Unless they are "completely pre-programmed" and autonomous from the hub. Real tension will emerge. Who will win? Hubs or edges? Power to the Hub or Power to the Edge?

Over the past three years, Synch, a provider of the Syncha multi-purpose smart critical communications and command and control platform, has undergone a remarkable transformation. The platform has evolved from primarily a Push-to-Talk (PTT) solution into a robust and comprehensive platform that encompasses a wide range of collaboration tools, enhanced worker safety features, and advanced organizational command and control capabilities. With the introduction of this extensive array of features, the company recognizes the importance of ensuring that the system operates at its best, with the ...

As it looks at how to provide warfighters with readily available 5G communications, the Pentagon’s FutureG office is concurrently pursuing applied research into new technologies that will serve as the department’s foundation for accessing future generations of wireless capabilities. The office, which is in charge of research-and-development efforts for advanced wireless network capabilities, has three projects underway in its “Beyond 5G” portfolio that it plans to carry out through at least fiscal 2025. Collectively, the programs aim to enhance the Pentagon’s ability to connect and maneuver within the electromagnetic spectrum, Tom Rondeau, principal director for FutureG at the Pentagon, told DefenseScoop. https://lnkd.in/gMN4R6Jc
