]
Join Spectrum at during MILCOM 2007, October 29-31 in Orlando, FL and see an exciting
demonstration
of the JTRS Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) running on Spectrum's
SDR-4000 platform.
You'll also meet Spectrum's latest addition to the flexComm family of software defined radio solutions.
Military Communications Conference 2007
October 29-31, 2007 :: Orlando, FL
Booth 1225 :: Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center
To find out more about the WNW demo, contact Spectrum Sales to arrange a meeting. For those developing and deploying SCA waveforms, catch our exciting joint tutorial co-presented by Spectrum, Harris and Zeligsoft.

Tutorial :: Developing and Deploying SCA waveforms?
]
For the uninitiated, developing waveforms to operate on a Software Communications Architecture (SCA)-enabled radio platform can be a daunting task, forcing the waveform development team to satisfy not only the functional requirements of the specified waveform, but also the deployment requirements imposed by the SCA software operating environment. Join us for a tutorial at MILCOM 2007 to explore these issues in detail. Participants will get a working knowledge of SCA based waveform development and view a number of tools that can accelerate the overall development effort.
Waveform Development and Deployment with the SCA :: Tutorial UT-13
Presented by Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima, Harris Corporation and Zeligsoft
Wednesday, October 31, 2007 :: 9:15 am - 12:15 pm :: Osceola 1 Room

Announcement :: MHAL API Support
]
Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima recently announced the early availability for qualified customers of the
industry's first COTS wireless modem solution supporting the U.S. Joint Tactical Radio System's (JTRS's)
Modem Hardware Abstraction Layer Application Programming Interfaces (MHAL API).
This powerful solution consists of Spectrum's flexComm™ SDR-4000 wireless modem, a rugged, Software Communications Architecture (SCA) enabled "IF-to-Ethernet" processing subsystem and the SCA-compliant MHAL API. The MHAL API was designed specifically to enhance portability of waveform components and radio applications operating on specialized processing devices such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). By offering a hardware platform that supports the MHAL API, Spectrum simplifies the porting of SCA compliant waveforms to the SDR-4000 platform, accelerating time to deployment for our military communications (MILCOM) customers supporting the specifications defined by the JTRS program.

New Product :: Rapid Deployment for Public Safety Cross Band Applications
]
Spectrum's Public Safety Cross Band Communications Platform, an integrated wireless communications subsystem that speeds the time to deployment of first responder communication services. The Cross Band Communications Platform provides complete "RF to Ethernet" connectivity by integrating a cross band RF transceiver with a high performance SDR based signal processing subsystem. The hardware is compact and ruggedizable, and is accompanied by a complete software stack including development tools, enabling public safety providers to develop on target deployment system.
|
Individual public safety services are allocated specific frequency bands for their respective communication systems,
often leading to a disparate communication system. Spectrum's Cross Band Communications Platform uses SDR technology to
provide interoperable communications across multiple radio frequencies from 350 to 800 MHz and from 4.940 to 4.990 GHz
to allow first responder services to share critical information.

Reading Break :: Facilitating Technology Insertion in Advanced Wireless Networks with Real-World Examples
]
Spectrum contributed a two part article to Wireless Net DesignLine online technical community about technology insertion in advanced wireless networks.
-
Part 1: Facilitating Technology Insertion in Advanced Wireless Systems
By Lee Pucker, Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima
This article lays the groundwork for a process of moving to new product generations by replacing only the baseband processing engine while retaining other subsystems, such as the RF or control subsystems. Read
online or download a
pdf.
-
Part 2: Technology Insertion - Real World Examples
By Lee Pucker, Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima and Kevin Oler, General Dynamics Canada
OEMs can experience significant savings in the development time and cost associated with offering new features and capabilities to their customers by encapsulating the IF and baseband processing engines in a "standardized" modular architecture. Read
