Research abstract

5G wireless technology is well designed for its advantage in speed, latency and capacity. But 5G systems are predominantly built based on the requirements of commercial mobile network operator networks  and hence are built and managed by commercial telecom operators with remote, centralized and hosted cloud infrastructure. These systems are bulky and consume lot of power, unlikely to be secure or located in deployed hostile environments, small spaces and flexible. Ships and vessels are metallic and hence MACRO big power radio's doesn't propagate/penetrate RF very well. Small spaces require small, independent coverage solutions such as SpectrEdge's small SWaP AI infused Multi-Radio access technology solution to provide assured communications capability.SpectrEdge Design, Architect and build  smallest Size  and Power (SWaP) practically feasible utilizing state of the art System on a Chip (SoC) technology and innovative heat sync/packaging strategies, private deployable 5G networks with integrated local core for security, lowest latency and connectivity over DoD secure data links. SpectrEdge software programmable wireless Solution is called Pulsar and will be built using programmable  industry standard chipsets to support future Gs thru software upgrade. Integrated onboard capabilities such as AI/ML, Zero Trust Security Architecture, and Mobile Edge  Computing to optimize performance for all users, and applications at the network edge.Supports integrated ATAK in the box to support data, voice, video applications. Onboard AI-ML chipset supports IoT and M2M applications. SpectrEdge box provides simultaneous 5G and WiFi RF coverage to both 5G devices and non-5G devices. Dual radio coverage can enhance the connectivity in interior smaller spaces that are challenging in terms of propagation, with required throughput and latency. SpectrEdge has a world-class team of experts with a proven track record in developing advanced technologies and successfully bringing them to market, including Founders; Mohan Tammisetti (PhD EE Candidate, University of North Texas), Serial entrepreneur with over 25 years wireless communications experience and Patents issued and pending), and David Aguilar (Chief Strategy Officer), Former Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Phase I project will demonstrate smallest SWaP private 5G network with 5G & WiFi integrated to specific DoD small space coverage use case. Shall integrate ATAK application server on AI-ML chipset that is integrated in the box. Phase I will also externally integrate multiple backhaul mechanisms to interconnect to Intranet/Internet. The designed "Product" is also called  "Pulsar".Anticipated Phase II & III will accommodate ML models that manages "Spectrum, Users and Security" at the Edge using onboard AI chip. And hence, efficiently process the data at the extreme edge where data generated.
