SDR '08 Product Exhibitors

The Software Defined Radio Forum Technical Conference and Product Exposition will be held October 26-30, 2008 in Washington, DC.

The Software Defined Radio Forum (www.sdrforum.org) is an international industry association for reconfigurable wireless technology. Its members represent cellular service providers, the defense industry, and equipment vendors from around the world. The Forum's goal is to provide conference attendees with a comprehensive world-wide view of the state of the art in reconfigurable radio technology, as well as an overview of the regulatory and business context in which that technology exists.

General Dynamics C4 Systems

General Dynamics C4 Systems manufactures and markets software-defined communication systems that can be reconfigured to meet user needs without any hardware modifications. Benefits of this cutting edge technology include: Migration/Interoperability; Tactical Deployment; Reduced Ownership Cost; Flexible Infrastructure; and Security. General Dynamics C4 Systems is leading the Joint Tactical Radio System HMS Team to bring miniaturized software defined radio technology into small devices such as unattended ground sensors and soldier systems that can overcome size, weight and power constraints. A JTRS HMS Manpack TD demonstration will be featured in the General Dynamics booth. Also featured, the HOOK2(tm) Combat Search and Rescue System including the AN/PRC-112G (R) CSAR/BFT Transceivers, and the Quickdraw2(R) Handheld GPS Interrogator.
