Application Notes
Interoperability concerns and high costs, associated with existing communication systems, are driving the integration of software defined radio (SDR) technology into commercial and military wireless systems. On the commercial side, the mobile communications industry has seen the parallel evolution of a wide variety of incompatible radio standards throughout the world and even within specific geographies. Consumers want the ability to use the most reliable service in a given location. Developing a truly international handset is nearly impossible. Multi-mode handsets provide some relief, but with increased cost, higher power consumption and limited flexibility as standards evolve. On the military side, yesterday’s model of using independent communication systems for different tactical functions simply doesn’t fit with the network-centric warfare model being pursued by virtually every modern military. Today forces are fast, mobile, tightly integrated and closely coordinated, which requires the ability to quickly and freely communicate across organizational boundaries. Additionally, maintaining today’s diverse systems requires a large support footprint with its corresponding high cost. A similar situation exists for public-service organizations, such as law enforcement and fire departments, who also use a large number of non-interoperable radios at federal, state, and local levels.
