NSMA 2024 Annual Conference

National Spectrum Management Association (NSMA) annual conference's topics promise to be as diverse as its participants, and with increasing spectrum congestion, reallocation, sharing, and repurposing, it's more important than ever to understand the radio spectrum environment from all angles.

WSRD Workshop on the National Spectrum R&D Plan

As directed in the recent National Spectrum Strategy, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is working through the NITRD Wireless Spectrum R&D Interagency Working Group (WSRD IWG) to develop the National Spectrum R&D Plan. This workshop is an opportunity for industry, academia, and the public to engage in dialog with the WSRD IWG authors on the potential content of that plan and follows a recent Request for Information. (Note: RFI Deadline is 3/21/2024)
