History
The National Advanced Spectrum and Communications Test Network (NASCTN) was established by NIST, NTIA and DOD in March of 2015 to improve opportunities for successful spectrum sharing through accurate, reliable, rigorously scientific, and unbiased measurements and analyses via a voluntary, cooperative federated network of spectrum sharing expertise and capabilities. In 2018, three new federal organizations joined NASCTN: NASA, NSF, and NOAA. NASCTN is hosted within CTL at NIST.
The mission of NASCTN is to provide, through its members, robust test processes and validated measurement data necessary to develop, evaluate, and deploy spectrum sharing technologies that can increase access to the spectrum by both federal agencies and non-federal spectrum users.
NASCTN is a membership organization under a charter agreement. Members:
