The IRAC – How it works… • IRAC is an ADVISORY committee that provides to NTIA the views of the federal agency spectrum managers • Existed since 1922 • Work is considered executive branch pre-decisional and not releasable • IRAC Subcommittees – general areas • Ad Hoc groups – individual topics • A collegial body - almost all work by consensus • Experienced spectrum management professionals
IRAC Representatives • http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/IRAC/I37412_1_IRAC_Membership%20List_20090923.pdf • Spectrum work needs to be done through agency IRAC Representatives
Issues • Spectrum Requirements • Competition • RNSS, e.g., GPS • Broadband, e.g., mobile communications • Sharing • Design: Transmitters and Receivers • Planning • Work with your spectrum managers
