ANDRO Computational Solutions is proud to announce its participation in a newly awarded effort under the Advanced Spectrum Coexistence Demonstration (ASC-D) Program, led by Battelle and supported through a contract with the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC) in partnership with the Department of War (DoW).
The project brings together an accomplished team of industry, academic, and technology partners, including Battelle, the Kostas Research Institute (KRI) at Northeastern University, Northeastern University, ANDRO Computational Solutions, SMA-RTY, and zTouch Networks. Together, the team will validate and demonstrate advanced spectrum-sharing technologies designed to improve spectrum efficiency while ensuring the protection of critical national security operations.
At the center of the effort is Battelle’s RavenStar™ Ultra-Wideband Massive MIMO Radio Unit, a highly agile radio platform capable of dynamically adapting frequencies, beam patterns, and transmission characteristics in real time. Combined with sensing, policy, and decision-making capabilities developed by KRI and Northeastern University’s Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems (INSI), the integrated solution aims to demonstrate how military and commercial users can safely coexist within valuable mid-band spectrum resources.
The Department of War currently utilizes portions of the 3.1–3.45 GHz spectrum for mission-critical operations. Through dynamic spectrum sharing technologies, the ASC-D Program seeks to determine whether these frequencies can be shared with commercial telecommunications providers without disrupting military activities. Successful demonstration of this capability could help address growing demand for wireless connectivity while maximizing the efficient use of limited spectrum resources.
As a member of the project team, ANDRO will contribute its expertise in advanced communications, spectrum technologies, and mission-focused engineering solutions to support system integration, testing, and demonstration activities.
The ASC-D Program reflects a growing national focus on developing innovative technologies that enable secure spectrum coexistence, ensuring both military readiness and continued expansion of next-generation wireless services.
Participation in this effort further strengthens ANDRO’s commitment to advancing cutting-edge communications technologies that support both national security objectives and the future of commercial wireless innovation.
