MODULAR MULTIFUNCTION INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEMS (MMITS) FORUM POC Dawn Ernst, Task Group POC, 315-330-3225; e-mail - ernstd@rl.af.mil. The second meeting of the Modular Multifunction Information Transfer Systems (MMITS) Forum will be held on June 11, 12 at the Motorola complex in Schaumburg, IL. Driven by the proliferation of mobile cellular, PCS and satellite systems, over 100 representatives of more than 50 domestic and foreign companies attended the initial MMITS Forum meeting sponsored by Rome Lab on March 13 in Arlington, VA. The membership includes telecommunications users, equipment suppliers, developers of hardware and software technology products/systems, and service providers/system operators. In addition to working toward the adoption of an open architecture for advanced wireless systems, the group will also accelerate development and use of software definable radio systems, address market requirements, and promote the development of standards for those systems. The two day meeting will include presentations on markets, requirements, and existing technical architectures leading to the initiation of discussions on standards for architectures. Work will also continue on items initiated at the first meeting, including: adoption of the scope and mission statement, the standards process, and affiliation with other groups. It is anticipated that a Marketing Committee, a Technical Committee, and an Administrative Committee will be formed and interim chairs elected.
