COLUMBUS, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Battelle announced that its RavenStar™ Ultra-Wideband Massive MIMO Radio Unit has been awarded a contract with the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC) in partnership with the Department of War (DoW).
Under the contract, Battelle will collaborate with the Kostas Research Institute (KRI) at Northeastern University, LLC, Northeastern University, ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC, SMA-RTY, and zTouch Networks, as part of the Advanced Spectrum Coexistence Demonstration (ASC-D) Program. Together, they will validate and demonstrate a spectrum-sharing solution designed to enhance national security while enabling efficient and reliable spectrum coexistence for commercial and telecommunications use.
The ASC was established by the DoW to evaluate the use of its mid-band frequency spectrum. The goal is to determine whether these frequencies can be safely shared using dynamic spectrum sharing technologies.
If successful, this approach would enable telecommunications providers and commercial organizations to access portions of military spectrum without interfering with critical national security operations, improving overall spectrum efficiency and expanding capacity for civilian wireless services.
“With the ability to quickly shift frequencies, adapt beam patterns and avoid interference in real time, RavenStar enables safe and effective spectrum sharing,” said Mark Reudink, VP Product Development at Battelle. “It combines unmatched frequency and spatial agility—making it a powerful solution for sharing spectrum alongside critical existing users.”
Paired with KRI’s sensing and decision-making capabilities, developed at Northeastern’s Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems (INSI), the…
