#11– CanNOAAemployknown&testedfrequencymanagement(interferencedetectionandprevention)techniquesandequipmentalreadyusedbyindustry?
NOAAisfunded through AWS-3auctionrevenuetodesignanddeployaRadioFrequency InterferenceMonitoring System(RFIMS)atspecificcriticalNOAAsites.Whilethisfunding isspecificfor1695-1710MHzbandaspartofAWS-3,itisplanned tobeofasufficientopenarchitecturetoallowforadditionalbandmonitoring. Thisapproach,asitbecomesestablishedoperationally, isconsideredtobemostoptimumfordeploying toadditionalsitesandfrequencies.
