Transport spectrum event
A focus on technical innovation in motor vehicles and other forms of transport and how it is driving changes in radiofrequency spectrum planning and use is the topic of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) third spectrum tune-up in Melbourne on 18 November.
The morning session of the Transport Spectrum Tune-Up will look at intelligent transport systems (ITS), including a presentation on GSM-enabled black boxes proposed for installation in cars, the potential application of these devices and their future spectrum needs.
ITS has the potential to reduce road accidents, decrease congestion and reduce vehicle operating costs and air pollution.
The afternoon session will focus on maritime and aviation issues, the 400 MHz band and non-ITS emergency warning systems and radio frequency identification. There will also be a presentation on rail transport issues focusing on 400 MHz, 1.8 GHz and spectrum sharing with the electricity industry.
The sessions will feature presentations from key ACMA staff involved with particular spectrum projects as well as industry speakers. Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the day and during an afternoon panel session.
The event will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Places are limited. To register, visit www.acma.gov.au/tstu or contact Lucy McGee at Lucy.Mcgee@acma.gov.au or call (02) 6219 5341.
