Course Description:
The ubiquity and relatively low-cost of Industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) Band Radio Frequency (RF) Modules has made them candidates for inclusion in wireless embedded systems ranging from Bluetooth enabled refrigerators to remote-start of vehicles, and asset tracking. Further, in some jurisdictions, stakeholders are considering the deployment of wireless solutions to national priorities/needs that leverage ISM-band frequencies. While promising, this raises localised issues related to spectrum management, policy and regulation, as embodied by the need to monitor whether in-service ISM-band modules are operating to specification, and assure that modules continue to operate in the face of interference. This course will enable participants to engage in a critical review of whether their existing compliance monitoring processes are adequate and/or appropriate for such systems.
Intended Audience:
This course is offered from the UWI in partnership with International Telecommunications Union (ITU) under the ATC initiative . On successful completion of this course students recieve a certificate conferred by both institutions. This training is designed to address mid to senior level management (and/or their technical advisors) from policy makers, regulators, and standards agencies, who are responsible for spectrum monitoring, management and enforcement; and companies who (intend to) supply/utilise ISM band RF modules in their embedded products.
