$GTCH update about the continuation of its efforts to evaluate Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology for its GEN II long-range radio system. SDR communication is a software-controlled radio operation. A typical RF system is traditionally operated via hardware using radio modules and components. SDR technology is a computer-controlled RF system. GBT is now evaluating the capabilities of using SDR to enable the creation of an intelligent, software controlled, HF communication system. GBT’s Infinia (internal project’s code name) is a data and voice communication project that operates using High Frequency (HF) radio waves. Infinia communicates through ionospheric propagation environment to reach very long distances.
GBT’s goal is to use its AI technology to overcome long range radio systems challenges. One of the most significant challenges is communicating through areas which there is no reception, also called skip zones. The Company will evaluate SDR technology to enable efficient, programmatical method for dead-zone coverage. The solution is targeted to be based on an AI geo-referenced analytics and control. The Company is evaluating whether it can use the SDR system to analyze Earth’s ionospheric conditions according to geographical zones and automatically tune RF signals and frequencies. It is the goal of the intelligent software control to maintain continuous, reliable communication regardless of location, rough terrains, time of day, seasons, and weather conditions.
The system will be evaluated for transmission techniques, error detection and interference reduction. A cognitive radio approach will be implemented, where the Company will evaluate the AI engine’s ability to learn from experience about communications patterns, analyzes the information to conclude spectrum occupancy, locations and frequency adjustments. In addition, the evaluation will assess the SDR module’s ability to automatically adjust antenna power, position and additional system’s factors. GBT previously filed a provisional patent in October 2021 and is now working to file a comprehensive non-provisional patent for the system during the next few months.
"Our ultimate goal is to achieve an intelligent, long range radio system to facilitate global communication around the globe. The Infinia system is a long range, HF based, radio system that we believe will sustains harsh weather, rough terrain, and can be a great asset for civil and military organizations. For example, remote locations rescue radio or worldwide telemedicine services. We are continuing to further our GEN II development to achieve an intelligent, skip zone free, global wireless solution. SDR technology is a programmatically controlled RF technology and we believe it captures a whole world of possibilities when it comes to AI controlled radio. The Infinia is targeted to be a cognitive radio system with the goal of learning from its experience utilizing the system’s RF signals patterns/behavior, ionospheric conditions, locations, weather/terrain and provide an on-the-fly control to maintain viable reception at all times. A reliable, global communication is a crucial feature for emergency and rescue radio systems. We believe SDR technology evaluation is a key phase in the goal of creating a smart, reliable and efficient radio system to reach anywhere around the world. We consider the Infinia project one of our major IPs and we are now working to file for a comprehensive, non-provisional patent application to protect its approach, techniques and methodologies.” stated Danny Rittman, GBT’s CTO.
