Description

Software Defined Radio (SDR) will revolutionise the wireless telecoms industry. Your current value chain will become redundant and a value web will become necessary. Signal processing functions will become incorporated into software, and SDR devices will emulate virtually any transmission format; it will change operating frequency range to suit the needs of the application and/or network in use. SDR will change the way your handsets or your network operate. You need to take note. Are you fully aware of the potential impact that this will have on your industry?

SDR acts as an opportunity and a threat to all elements of your value chain, however with the opportunity to offer improved 'time-to-market', the benefits become clear immediately.
