DESCRIPTION
This presentation will focus on CSIRO's work in radiofrequency communications. Specifically we have a number of patents covered under the brand 'NGARA' and have licensed some of these for use in public safety broadband wireless networks. Ngara backhaul and 'access' (point to multipoint) continues to set records for super high speed, super high efficiency wireless up to 10 Gbit/s. It has won numerous awards, including the Engineers Australia national Excellence in Innovation Award in 2013. NGARA currently enables up to 18 separate beams each of 50 Mbit/s symmetrical in 28 MHz of spectrum. Leveraging dynamic beam forming, we can get highly targeted narrow beams very close together with powerful auto-alignment of antennas to minimise operational cost and set-up time. These features lend themselves to being able to address some of the challenges faced by public safety network providers. Existing LTE Mobile networks congest very quickly under severe localised traffic generated during emergency situations, and separate highly efficient and targeted network performance is needed during these times of very high and unpredictable demand.
