Deploy Full Stack Spectrum Situational Awareness System with Networked Handheld Sensors
July 11 | 2 PM ET

Everything goes wireless/RF, it is the matter of life for both commercial and military communication. Desired and undesired signals are on top of each other, whether it is intentional or unintentional, the effectiveness, integrity and security of the communications are at mercy how the spectrum is managed and operated. It is critically important that military communication networks can run on intended spectrum without interruption, system can dynamically allocate necessary resources without interrupting payload performance, identify hostile spectrum manipulation like jamming, crowding, spoofing in both terrestrial and space.
