Wireless Innovation Forum Announces Agenda for 71st Working Meeting and Disaster Recovery Workshop
Washington, DC, February 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Wireless Innovation Forum (www.WirelessInnovation.org), a non-profit international industry association dedicated to driving the future of radio communications and systems worldwide, announced today the agendas for its 71st Working Meeting to be held 12-14 March, 2012, and a special Disaster Recovery Workshop to be held 15 March 2012 in San Diego, Calif.
The meeting will include working sessions advancing the Forum's operations plan in support of the commercial, public safety, satellite communications, and international tactical radio communities. Groups meeting include:
Cognitive Radio Work Group
Commercial Baseband Technologies Work Group
International Security Services API Task Group
International Tactical Radio Special Interest Group
Modeling Language for Mobility Work Group
Public Safety Special Interest Group
Roadmap Committee
SATCOM Special Interest Group
SCA API Work Group
SCA Implementers Work Group
SCA Next Work Group
SCA Test and Certification Work Group
Security Work Group
Transceiver Facility Specification Work Group
Joint ITR-SIG/PS-SIG/SATCOM SIG
The complete meeting agenda can be found at http://groups.WInnForum.org/71st_Working_Meeting. A listing of projects being undertaken by the members of the Forum can be found at http://www.wirelessinnovation.org/page/Current_Projects.
A featured workshop on Disaster Recovery explores an integrated methodology for communications recovery. This describes a phased approach, starting with satellite communications, and transitioning to airborne relays. These would be gradually brought lower down to substitute for damaged infrastructure and to re-establish ground communications for normally used terminals and handsets while increasing spatial capacity. The workshop will have sessions addressing the public safety perspective, present approaches, platforms, operations, and advanced solutions and a round table discussion on next steps.
Workshop speakers include Daniel Devasirvatham (SAIC) Chair of the Hybrid Reference Architecture Task Group, Terry Hall (Association of Public Safety Communications Officials), Stewart Potter (Harris Corporation), Robert Schutz (Datron World Communications Inc.), Fabio Casalino (Selex ELSAG), John B. Munoz Atkinson (INMARSAT), Tom Eidenschink (ViaSAT), Jerry Knoblach (Space Data), Daniel Boudreau (Communications Research Centre (CRC)), Brian Hobson (SPAWAR), Clark Tompsett (State of NM), James Neel (Cognitive Radio Technologies), and Rick Rotondo (xG Technology, Inc.).
Registration is open to members and non-members. The earlybird meeting registration discount expires February 17. The Forum has reserved a room block at the hotel hosting the meeting, Holiday Inn San Diego - On the Bay. Reservations for the block may be made from the meeting web page.
Supported by platinum Sponsors General Dynamics C4 Systems, Harris Corporation, and Indra Sistemas, Forum working meetings are held three times annually in North America and Europe. Additional information can be found at http://www.WirelessInnovation.org.
