  5. Kennard Statement • “All of the new technologies -- mobile phones, faxed, wireless computers -- are consuming spectrum faster than we can make it available, and we are in danger of a spectrum drought. We need to find spectrum to build the web of wireless applications that will continue to fuel our economic growth. The demand for spectrum is simply outstripping supply.” dandingroup

  6. Kennard Proposals • Establish as a goal that spectrum become like any other commodity that flows fluidly in the marketplace. • Look to technology to provide better spectrum management tools, for example, ultrawideband and software-defined radios. • Promote greater spectrum efficiency • Changes in relationship to tribal governments dandingroup

  7. Regulatory Recap • Regulatory issues are the biggest problem in the way of a paradigm shift for wireless! • More technology available than we know what to do with! • Need to find a place where wireless regulatory issues are absent!! dandingroup

  8. AN-MSI Tribal Wireless Project • Continue NSF initiative • Help to clearly establish tribal sovereignty over radio spectrum • Provide a testbed for new and innovative wireless technologies • Establish a framework for new FCC spectrum management paradigm dandingroup

  9. New Wireless Network Model • Wireless Multiservices IP Network • Scalable, fully meshed network • Use of wideband wireless devices • Spread Spectrum and Ultra-Wideband • Support for new Internet appliances • New PDA’s (such as Palm Pilot) • Sony’s Playstation II • Goal of CPE cost of about $300 dandingroup

  10. Services to be offered • VoIP for telephony • Internet data • Video (two MPEG-2 streams) • Deliver 30 Mbps symmetric to each home • Wireless Mobility dandingroup

  11. New Network Details • Three level hierarchy • Mesh routing at each level • Every device in network routes • Residential Gateway unit at each home • Provides support for mobility • Gateway for multimedia services dandingroup

  12. AN-MSI Wireless Project • Four awards to date • Ft. Berthold • Turtle Mountain • Ft. Peck • Standing Rock dandingroup

  13. Next Steps • Start deployment • Continue to evaluate rest of applicants • Develop legal strategy • Larry Lessig and Stanford Law Clinic • Continue to push the wireless technology forward through open systems approach dandingroup
