This problem can be looked into, can be amplified. For example suppose
that there is a calamity and the police would like to talk to the army,
but then the police have got a different set of equipment working on some
standard, the army has got a different set of equipment equipments of
different standards. And they are not in the position to interact with
each other, which is necessary.
Therefore what we really need, when we want to communicate over one set
of equipment to other set of equipment, what we need is a new radio environment.
The environment which has been in existence for large 70 years or so is
the superhet architecture, but then in superhet architecture what one
had is that you bring the signals to the air and do the processing, so
below air the systems could be common. Today we have much more functions,
we have complexity of components and designed rules, and also demand for
flexibility has increased today, and we would also like to provide seamless
multimode networks, and corresponding services, say multimedia requirements
for desktop and laptop or seamless integration of PC. All this will need
different kind of radio environment.
