Description
With the exponential growth in the ways and means by which people need to communicate – data communications, voice communications, video communications, broadcast messaging, command and control communications, emergency response communications, etc. – modifying radio devices easily and cost-effectively has become business-critical. Software-defined radio (SDR) technology brings the flexibility, cost efficiency, and power to drive communications forward, with wide-reaching benefits realized by service providers and product developers through to end-users. In the long term, software-defined radios are expected to become the dominant technology in radio communications.
