DARPA’s Colosseum, world-unique wireless testbed shall catalyze the advent of autonomous, intelligent, and collaborative radio technology

In March 2016, DARPA officials launched the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2), an initiative designed to ensure that the exponentially growing number of military and civilian wireless devices will have full access to the increasingly crowded electromagnetic spectrum particularly  between 9 kHz and 275 GHz,  the range allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These networks will be capable of intelligently optimizing the spectrum by collaborating with, and learning from, the other systems that occupy the spectrum with them.
