The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (DOC/NOAA) office of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Systems (NESDIS) has awarded Next Phase a follow-on contract to conduct comprehensive engineering studies of federal and commercial satellite communications systems. The studies will be used to determine the feasibility of sharing radio frequency spectrum between existing Federal users and commercial cellular network carriers.

Our partner, Alion Science and Technology, joins us as our valuable partner. Alion brings more than 40 years of experience in spectrum engineering, as well as numerous years of experience supporting NOAA and other government agencies with the challenges of spectrum sharing.
