Now in its 10th year, the SMi International Software Radio conference will once again give you the opportunity to review the latest programme updates, national capabilities, operational feedback and technological developments in the field of software defined radio.
Attend and meet with key national decision makers, who will update you on their national SDR programmes. What are the French, Spanish and Italian plans and how are they progressing with research and development? Furthermore, once again hear an update on NATO SDR and the NATO framework.
International Software Radio 2010 will also give you the opportunity to discuss the evolution of SDR with the people that matter. Assess the future and evolution of cognitive radio and learn how your organisation can take advantage of and develop this technology.
