Join us at MILCOM 2005 at Booth 722 and meet Spectrum's newest addition to the flexComm family. No small endeavor, Spectrum's latest SDR offering will make a big impact in tactical military communication applications. Contact Spectrum to find out more.


SDR-3002 MILCOM Rapid-Prototype and Development Platform for US and International Programs

[ MILCOM Rapid-Prototyping Platform Goes International ]

Last week at the DSEI tradeshow in London, UK, Spectrum launched the SDR-3002 IMRDP, an international version of its existing military communications (MILCOM) rapid-prototyping and development platform. This is the industry's first "RF to Ethernet" commercial-off-the-shelf solution specifically targeting international MILCOM programs. This Software Communications Architecture (SCA)-enabled platform integrates Spectrum's SDR-3002 with the new DRT4001 SDR Family of RF front-ends from Digital Receiver Technology, Inc. (DRT).

Spectrum continues to provide SDR solutions for leading international primes and governments. Earlier this month, Spectrum announced the selection by the French Ministry of the Interior of its SDR-3002 platform for a homeland defense application. For more information, read the announcement or contact sales@spectrumsignal.com.


HCDR-1000 CRDP Rapid-Prototyping and Development Platform for COMINT applications

[ Speeding COMINT Application Development ]

Spectrum also recently launched the HCDR-1000 CRDP, a communications intelligence (COMINT) rapid-prototyping and development platform. The HCDR-1000 CRDP provides the hardware, software and development tools necessary to begin immediate development of COMINT systems. The platform's architecture was specifically designed to support the simultaneous detection and processing of multiple wideband and narrowband signals, including complex signals incorporating frequency agility (frequency hopping) and direct sequence spread spectrum.

Find out how to accelerate the time to deployment for your COMINT applications by visiting www.spectrumsignal.com or contacting sales@spectrumsignal.com.


[ Spectrum offers PCI/PCI-X Carrier to Host its flexComm modules ]

Spectrum's PRO-2900 PCI/PCI-X-based carrier card is the core of the SDR-2000 family. This unique carrier card can interface to Spectrum I/O, FPGA, and DSP processing engines as well as industry standard XMC/PMC mezzanine cards. The PRO-2900 provides the backbone for two of Spectrum's rapid-prototyping and development platforms: the SDR-2000 SRDP for satellite communications applications and the SDR-2000 ERDP for electronic intelligence applications. Each system comes with software tools and examples to get you up and running out of the box.

For more information about the PRO-2900, SDR-2000 SRDP or SDR-2000 ERDP, please contact sales@spectrumsignal.com.


[ Spectrum and General Dynamics: Tackling Two Tactical MILCOM Initiatives ]

Spectrum will supply General Dynamics Canada with Software Defined Radio technology and assist General Dynamics Canada in the development and demonstration of enhanced tactical military communications solutions. Ultimately, Spectrum's SDR technology will be used to enhance the flexibility, interoperability and performance of the General Dynamics Canada MESHnet® family of tactical communication products. Read the complete press release.

This release follows shortly on an announcement by Spectrum and General Dynamics C4 Systems to introduce and market an upgraded wideband modem for the U.S. Navy’s AN/USC-61(C) Digital Modular Radio (DMR). For more information on these tactical MILCOM initiatives, contact Spectrum today.


[ How to Achieve Application Software Portability ]

Developing military embedded application software that is portable between platforms, and will remain portable throughout its life cycle, can be a tricky process. Maximum benefits will be obtained by taking care to develop coding rules for portable software, creating a system that can build for all platforms from a single build specification, and writing tools to examine the software in the version control system to detect any violations of the portability rules.

[ Ever Ask Yourself "Which Signal Processing Technologies Should I Use in My Wireless Application?" ]

"Well, it depends..."
Lee Pucker, Spectrum's CTO, elaborates on his perspective in September's issue of IEEE Communications Magazine, Radio Supplement. Access Spectrum's library of published articles at www.spectrumsignal.com/publications.


[ "Finding MIMO" at SDR Forum, November 14-18, Orange County, CA ]

Join Lee Pucker at the SDR Forum Technical Conference and Expo, November 14-18 in Orange County, CA as he presents: "Finding MIMO: A Proposed Model for Incorporating Multiple Input, Multiple Output Technology into Software Defined Radios". Contact sales@spectrumsignal.com to find out more or arrange a meeting at the show. More Spectrum events...
