The full potential of software-defined radio for military applications has yet to be realised. Ongoing issues such as the lack of standardisation and limited operational perspectives have hindered SDR development in recent years. However, progress is being made all the time.
With an exceptional line up of speakers, SMi’s 9th annual International Software Radio conference will give you the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in SDR. Attend and gain valuable insights into the activities of government agencies and armed forces from Europe and the United States
You will have the chance to network with industry associates and explore the potential for collaboration in the commercial and public sectors. This conference is an essential addition to the calendar of all those working in the industry.
