Emerging Wireless Communications WorkshopSatellite communications and spread-spectrum digital radios operating in no-license areas of the spectrum will be the focus of a National Science Foundation- (NSF) sponsored Emerging Wireless Communications Workshop May 4-5. Participants will discuss issues of interconnecting ground-based and satellite wireless systems and networks, and the relationships among government, industry and academia that are vital for these technologies to evolve. The workshop includes participants and speakers from the White House, Congress, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), industry, universities and field practitioners. There will also be a demonstration of an NSF-funded field test involving junior high school students in Lewistown, Montana using remote water quality sensors connected through a wireless radio to test Big Spring Creek water quality. Then, students will share their data with researchers worldwide via the Internet. Use of no-license areas of the spectrum-particularly spread-spectrum technologies not linked to a single, licensed frequency could have wide ranging impact on communications systems involving rural and globally remote areas. The technology can impact educational issues, including the "virtual university."
