Turning Mobile Devices into Radar

Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is a 6G technology that enables wireless networks to simultaneously transmit data and detect objects, essentially turning mobile networks into radar networks.

ISAC uses shared radio signals, infrastructure, and hardware to track, locate, and image objects in real-time, improving network efficiency and enabling new, high-precision services. It reduces hardware costs and saves spectrum resources by consolidating functions. It is considered a cornerstone of 6G, enabling faster, more reliable communication.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the system requirements to incorporate ISAC into your agency’s edge devices
• Delineate steps to maximize AI use in ISAC-enabled networks, including assessment of available databases and their cleanliness
• Determine what additional information needs to be gathered to utilize ISAC capabilities
