NSF Funds MITRE-Led Dynamic Spectrum Sharing R&D

The National Science Foundation has extended a $10.5 million funding for a team led by non-profit national security advisory firm MITRE to conduct dynamic spectrum sharing research and development. The team, dubbed “SPARKIE,” will initially establish an experimental dynamic spectrum-sharing zone at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in California that would shield radio telescope operations from interference of local spectrum users, such as cellular devices, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, MITRE said.
