Abstract

The mission of the National Advanced Spectrum and Communications Test Network (NASCTN) is to provide, through its members, robust test processes and validated measurement data necessary to develop, evaluate and deploy spectrum sharing technologies that can increase access to the spectrum by both federal agencies and non-federal spectrum users. NASCTN was formed to provide a single focal point for engaging industry, academia, and other government agencies on advanced spectrum technologies, including testing, measurement, validation, and conformity assessment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosts the NASCTN capability at the Department of Commerce Boulder Laboratories in Boulder, Colorado. NASCTN is a membership organization under a charter agreement. Members • Make available, in accordance with their organization's rules policies and regulations, engineering capabilities and test facilities, with typical consideration for cost. • Coordinate their efforts to identify, develop and test spectrum sharing ideas, concepts and technology to support the goal of advancing more efficient and effective spectrum sharing. • Make available information related to spectrum sharing, considering requirements for the protection of intellectual property, national security, and other organizational controls, and, to the maximum extent possible, allow the publication of NASCTN test results. • Ensure all spectrum sharing efforts are identified to other interested members.
