William Chappell, director of DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office, states “The current practice of assigning fixed frequencies for various uses irrespective of actual, moment-to-moment demand is simply too inefficient to keep up with actual demand and threatens to undermine wireless reliability,”

Federal authorities have spent more than $30 million on Stingrays and
related equipment and training since 2004, according to procurement
records. Purchasing agencies include the FBI, DEA, Secret Service, US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Internal Revenue Service, the
Army, and the Navy. Cops in Arizona, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina,
Texas, and California have also either purchased or considered
purchasing the devices, according to public records. In one case, procurement records (PDF) show cops in Miami obtained a Stingray to monitor phones at a free trade conference held in Miami in 2003.

What is a Software (Defined) Radio?***A software radio is a wireless communications device that performs all of its signal processing in portable, application level software. By simply running a different program, a software radio can become a cell phone,
wireless LAN, cordless phones, garage door opener or walkie-talkie. The flexibility enabled by software radio also enables faster technology tracking, since standards upgrade are simply software downloads.
Software radio is a multi-disciplinary systems effort, bringing together research in digital signal processing, communications, operating systems, software engineering and algorithms.

so why not you show up too :-)

" Biology is in a Digital Age "
Now digital code & DNA code can rapidly convert one into the other.
We can NOW send "Digital Life"
Charlie Rose interviewing Craig Venter October 23, 2013
:-) Okay, I am going to play with Micro Biology with the
SDR boards I'm producing through the Electromagnetic Waves :-)
"All life (as) we know is DNA Software Code/Software, or DNA driven Software.
So what we did is after reading the genetic code and converting it to the ones and zeros on the computer, we went the other way. We started with Ones and Zeros to see if we can recapitulate life from the gnome. 4 bottles of gnome, we wrote 4 million lines of code took over a cell, and created a new species based upon the software we wrote. The worlds of the genetic code, the chemicals A, C, G and T, are
becoming interchangeable with the digital world, the ones and zeroes of
computers, and we did this first with learning how to read the genetic
code and converting the A, C, Gs and Ts into the computer code, and now
we’ve been going the other direction, starting with ones and zeroes,
re-writing the chemical code and then using that to create new life. So
it’s a concept of the rapid interchangeability of DNA and digital
information/(code), the applications (exists) that we can now send life at the
speed of light;
send electromagnetic waves through the internet for
example and recapitulate it at the other end,
so in the future you’ll
actually be able to download living things from your computer. "

"Martin, he show us new revolution.
But audience not understand it,
so I translate in good English:
SDR stands for Software Defined(s) Radio.
Say
you got an AT&T phone and can’t get your call thru ‘cause there is
no tower near you. But the guy sitting next to you babbles away it seems
like forever on his phone. He’s got Verizon or something—no problem
for him. Makes you want to clobber him! Am I right?
I
watch him set up his technostuff and show us. A member of audience
makes call on AT&T phone. Martin catches it and sends it to other
phone in room—Verizon phone. It rings. We see whole hookup happen on
screen! Imagine you put it in every cell tower. Customer experience
makes great leap! Cost drops to basement!
He
says defense department try to develop this and cannot do it. Then
private industry makes one, but it turns out way too expensive. Martin,
his cost is only 1,000 bucks—hand-made! I bet he can make it for $200
mass produce.
How
so cheap? Can you believe that inside your worn-out laptop computer is
Intel chip or AMD chip—either one—and both got the guts to do this
job? He uses teeny-weeny circuit board, 100 dollar laptop, and USB
thingamajig. That is it!
So I pull Galaxy out of pocket and look this up. I find Forbes article that shows SDR is already used by
hackers. That makes me wonder if I understand what I just hear. I can
see this technology is real. But is scary. Hacker can hurt you and you
cannot shoot them. I give you link to article.
You think I make this stuff up? I see it happen! Come to my place and we talk summore. Ludditis Shots ‘n Beer. We got potato pancakes better than Lithuania. I not even charge for sixth beer. Sveikes! "
