"Cognitive Radio based Standard will innovate wireless access and multimedia distribution in TV White Spaces"

Geneva, 19 March 2009 - Ecma International started developing a high-speed wireless networking standard for use in the Television White Spaces, based on the contribution from Cognitive Networking Alliance (CogNeA). The standard will employ cognitive radio technology to avoid interference with licensed services and other incumbent users in compliance with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulatory rules.

Atlanta (February 23, 2009) — True mobile Internet capability for wireless devices – including high-definition TV, movies and video-conferencing – has taken a step closer to reality. The Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) at Georgia Tech is allying with several major corporations and an international standards group to promote a new worldwide cognitive radio (CR) standard that would allow new levels of performance in portable devices such as cellular phones and computers.
