* You are cordially invited to the 2013 New England *
* Workshop for Software Defined Radio (NEWSDR 2013), *
* which is the third installment of an annual series of *
* workshops organized by the Boston SDR User Group *
* (SDR-Boston). This year NEWSDR 2013 will be held at the *
* campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) *
* on Friday, May 17,
2013. *
* *
* NEWSDR 2013 features numerous technical presentations, *
* tutorials, as well as numerous posters and hardware *
* demonstrations, all focusing on the latest advances in *
* software-defined radio and cognitive radio technology, *
* including the use of GNU Radio software and USRP radio *
*
hardware. *
* *
* The event is a valuable opportunity to connect with a *
* dedicated SDR community in the area, to attend numerous *
* technical presentations on the subject, to meet vendors *
* who are active in SDR technology, to learn about new *
* products, and to explore various product and
project *
