Tiny Florida firm to test first Cognitive Radio

A tiny Melbourne, Florida, company has received FCC authority to test the first new form of cognitive radio scheme.

Cognitive is a system that uses frequency hopping over a number of channels to determine which are dormant at the time. Communications is then assigned to those open channels.

Adapt 4 LLC is the company with the authority to operate its engineering inquiry in the 217 to 220 MHz range. The Adapt 4 equipment reportedly will not reuse that channel until a given channel has cleared avoiding any potential of interference.

And, oh yes, Adapt 4 LLC is tiny by today's mega-corporate standards. The company has accomplished all that it has with only has six local employees.
