WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/SCA?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#SCAlt;/agt;–The Wireless Innovation Forum, a non-profit international industry
association dedicated to diving the future of radio communications and
systems worldwide, is proud to announce that Fraunhofer, NordiaSoft,
OpenWiFi and VIAVI will participate in the Innovation Showcase of its European
Summit on Communications Technologies (WInnComm-Europe) 2019.

Hosted by Fraunhofer in Berlin, Germany, 15-16 May, WInnComm Europe is
the premier venue to network with and learn from the leading innovators
in the advanced wireless market to gain a functional knowledge of
relevant emerging opportunities and technologies.

Demonstration synopses provided by the participants include:

• The
  Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is one of the
  world’s leading application-oriented research institutions for
  microelectronic and IT system solutions and services. The institute’s
  Communication Systems Division develops both civil and military
  software defined radio (SDR) technologies. The focus is on system
  design, requirement engineering, software and hardware development as
  well as contributions to standardization bodies. At WinnComm Europe
  2019 Fraunhofer IIS showcases an SDR platform for fast prototyping of
  new waveform applications or new technologies like MIMO in the
  tactical domain. It features a fully modular design from the antenna
  connector up to the application’s packet data. The platform is
  designed for lab use as well as for field trials. This demo will
  include several SDRs embedded in a small-scale version of our
  simulation, test, and reference environment (SumO). The setup is based
  on a cooperation with the Bundeswehr Technical Center for Information
  Technology and Electronics (WTD 81).
• Software Defined System is the industry’s response to the
  ever-increasing complexity and flexibility requirements of today’s
  electronic systems. The Software Communications Architecture (SCA)
  enables the fulfillment of such requirements for complex heterogeneous
  embedded distributed systems. In this demonstration, NordiaSoft
  shows how SCA software can be developed using tools that combine
  model-driven design (MDD) and rapid application development (RAD).
  Using Zero Merge code generation technology, the business source code
  for an SCA component (modulator, encoder, etc.) is kept separate from
  the infrastructure code that deals with deploying, instantiating,
  configuring, connecting, inter-process communications, etc. This
  demonstration will show how the proposed approach provides the
  greatest potential of reuse for intellectual property.
• Open WiFi will showcase the initial capability of our full
  stack real-time Wi-Fi design based on Software Defined Radio (SDR),
  which is related to the presentation “From laboratory to the field: An
  open source Software Defined Radio project coupled with native Linux
  driver framework”. The demo hardware is composed of Xilinx Zynq 7000
  SoC and Analog Devices AD9361 Radio Frequency (RF) front-end. The SoC
  contains FPGA and ARM cortex A9 processor. 802.11a/g OFDM transceiver,
  related data/control interface and low-level Media Access Control
  (MAC) are implemented in FPGA. The corresponding driver is implemented
  under Linux mac80211 framework. The driver, high level MAC/protocol
  and Linux Operating System (OS) are run on ARM processor. The demo
  will set up communication with a commercial Wi-Fi device, such as a
  cell phone or laptop. Traffic, such as ping, video, will run over the
  Wi-Fi link. On top of this basic standard compliant communication
  capability, two time slices will be set up across full stack.
  Different devices/traffics can be grouped into different time slices
  according to Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.
• VIAVI
  (NASDAQ: VIAV) is a global provider of network test, monitoring and
  assurance solutions to communications service providers, enterprises,
  network equipment manufacturers, civil, government, military and
  avionics customers, supported by a worldwide channel community
  including VIAVI Velocity Partners. We deliver end-to-end visibility
  across physical, virtual and hybrid networks, enabling customers to
  optimize connectivity, quality of experience and profitability. VIAVI
  is also a leader in high performance thin film optical coatings,
  providing light management solutions to anti-counterfeiting, consumer
  electronics, automotive, defense and instrumentation markets. VIAVI’s
  booth will have the latest updates to our SCA Platform, including
  demonstrations of SCA AM, FM and DMR waveforms, user FPGAs, and a
  first-look at our WInnForum Transceiver 2.0 interface and our Signal
  Workshop signal generation and analysis suite running as SCA virtual
  test probes.

In addition to keynotes from Fraunhofer, BAAINBw, Netherlands Ministry
of Defense, Blackned and Rohde & Schwarz, additional speakers from
Leonardo, Thales, NordiaSoft, ESSOR, NATO, JTNC and additional
International Ministries of Defense including Great Britain, France,
Italy, and Finland will be featured in sessions spanning the two-day
event.

Technical Sessions Software
Defined Systems and the SCA and Networking
Aspects of Software Defined Systems will feature presenters from
France, China, Germany, Belgium, and Ireland. The complete program with
presentation abstracts can be found here: https://europe.wirelessinnovation.org/2019-program.

Registration for the event is open and available at https://europe.wirelessinnovation.org.

WInnComm Europe attracts attendees that include investors, commercial
network operators, radio manufacturers, system integrators, government
procurement officials, regulators, engineering service providers and
consultants from around the world. For more information, visit the
