Software Defined Radio Forum to Launch SIG for Int'l Tactical Radio Market

November 9, 2007 // Published as a news service by IHS

The Software Defined Radio (SDR) Forum is establishing a special interest group (SIG) that will focus on activities designed to benefit the worldwide tactical radio community.

Sales of tactical radios in North America, Europe, Asia and other areas have grown, spurred in part by the global war on terror and the modernization of radio and networking equipment by military, paramilitary and homeland security forces around the world, according to the SDR Forum.

A large number of these new radios were software defined driving the forum to create this new SIG to provide an international venue for discussing the lessons learned in developing and deploying these current-generation SDR devices, said the SDR Forum.
