Purpose of the Summit
 Like water and roads, advanced telecommunications and
broadband Internet services are critical infrastructure for
Arizona communities
 Many rural and other underserved communities lack the
infrastructure to support deployment of these services
 The purpose of the Summit is to accelerate deployment of
these services to all Arizona communities
 The plan is to explore options and leave the Summit with
consensus on policies and implementation plans to remove
barriers to the deployment of this critical infrastructure.

Standard Radio Transmission with Continuous Sine Waves
Versus Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Coherent Pulses
Continuous sine waves are transmitted
with information embedded in the
modulation of the wave's amplitude or
frequency. This technology is
approaching its limit in being able to
improve bandwidth (amount of
information sent) and channelization
(number of users).
Source: Time Domain Corporation
Coded pulses, transmitted and
measured precisely in time can carry
orders of magnitude more data and
support an essentially unlimited number
of users. (Think of it as super highspeed Morse Code with 40 million dots
and dashes per second.)

RFID as a Tracking Technology 1945–2010

A prototype of a tiny wireless chip capable of storing and transmitting data was
recently revealed by HP. When the new Memory Spot chip hits the market in about
two years, it will enable a variety of applications ranging from digital wristbands
that store patient medical information to a new form of storing digital versions of
documents or sound bytes on paper and printed pictures that can be accessed
using a reader-equipped device.
