WHO WE ARE
The National Advanced Spectrum and Communications Test Network (NASCTN) provides a neutral forum for addressing spectrum-sharing challenges in an effort to accelerate the deployment of wireless technologies among commercial and federal users. NASCTN was created in 2015 and is a joint effort among the United States Department of Defense (DOD), the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
OUR MISSION
NASCTN's mission is to provide robust test processes and validated measurement data necessary to develop, evaluate and deploy spectrum sharing technologies that can improve access to the spectrum by both Federal agencies and non-federal spectrum users.
OUR FUNCTIONS
- Developing test plans with independent technical experts
- Identifying and facilitating access to the appropriate test facilities
- Providing oversight so that tests are performed according to the test plan
- Validating test results and developing detailed test results and methodology
- Protecting proprietary, classified and sensitive information
