Interoperability through Cognitive Networking and Smart Spectrum Management
- Pre-Conference Workshops: 26th October 2011
- Main Conference: 27th-28th October 2011
An Architectural Approach to SDR:
- Hear the latest challenges and solutions in Software Enabled Technology from initiatives like the new French CONTACT Programme, the Italian Forza NEC and the Polish TITAN programme.
- Face the reality of search and rescue SDR technology greatly overlapping with military applications from the EDA and European Commission
- Assess opportunities and challenges created with HDRWFs when initiating a move towards smarter battlespace spectrum management
- As industry, balance the more developed needs of established NATO members with those of programmes like the Romanian Infantry Fighting System
SDR Europe going strong after 10 Years
The SDR Europe series of events has a history of innovation behind it; following the technological journey for over ten years. This year it is simply ahead of the curve. Not only does it recognise the need to develop HDWFs, Cognitive Networking and Enable Smart Spectrum Sharing on top of the ever present search for the Interoperability silver bullet; it will demonstrate opportunities for business in new NATO member states like Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic.
In 2010 we welcomed over 100 delegates from 18 countries to Rome.
