NIST and federally funded research labs discuss climate and advanced communications technology with U.S. Representative Joe Neguse.


The Communication Technology Laboratory was pleased to take part in the CO-LABS panel discussion with U.S. Representative Joe Neguse (CO CD-2) to hear from several federally-funded research labs in Colorado. The themes for this call are related to 1) research around climate change, extreme weather, and related environmental assessments with relevance to the Biden Administration’s stated climate change policy vision; and 2) advanced digital communications technology research.

CTL knows that the resiliency of the American workforce depends on trusted communications systems now, more than ever. That need drove our team to work through the challenges the global pandemic presented to help do our part to drive forward innovation for our economy.   


An example of our perseverance is we just finished building another state-of-the-art facility, the 5G Coexistence Testbed which applies the newest generation end-to-end 5G mm-Wave LTE laboratory.  The techniques and metrology derived from this testbed will have applications in everyday wireless communications, IoT, and 5G networks.    


The National Advanced Spectrum and Communications Test Network or NASCTN is a multi-agency-chartered partnership that organizes a national network of Federal, academic, and commercial test facilities. It provides testing, modeling, and analysis necessary to develop and deploy spectrum-sharing technologies and inform future spectrum policy and regulations. CTL is proud to continue to host NASCTN partners agencies like DoD, NASA, NOAA, NSF, and NTIA to propel measurement science across the government and efficiently share resources.  These partnerships, as well as our own testing projects, have led to a vast arsenal of data ready for Industry and fellow researchers to apply to their projects and innovations.   


Rising to the needs of our nation, our researchers are working with the ..
