Telecommunications Research and Engineering at the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences of the Department of Commerce: Meeting the Nation's Telecommunications Needs.

摘要

The Department of Commerce (DOC) operates two telecommunications research laboratories located at its Boulder, Colorado, campus: the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA’s) Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL). The Boulder telecommunications laboratories currently play an important role in the economic vitality of the country and can play an even greater role given the importance of access to spectrum and spectrum sharing to the wireless networking and mobile cellular industries. Research advances are needed to ensure the continued evolution and enhancement of the connected world the public has come to expect. In addition to familiar portable communication and computing devices, anticipated deployment of a variety of new, connected “smart” devices will demand more access to spectrum and advanced networked communication technologies.
