The Agreement is dated June 6, 2023 and it says 2 months to complete Phase 1 so assuming it was fully executed on June 6 and if they are actively working on the study there won't be any news until sometime after August 6
Phase 1 Tasks and Deliverables
During Phase 1, FIU team (PI Alwan, co-PI Madanayake) will carry out the following efforts. Task timelines may overlap as needed.
Task 1: In-depth study of commercially available direct phone to satellite technologies (2 months). The outcome of this study will help us identify the specific sub-6 GHz band and the mmWave band that will be adopted in this effort. Task 1 deliverable will be a report that will help establish a baseline for performance and system parameters from future systems based on public domain sources. Additionally, inspired by NSF’s ICORPS program, without divulging technological solutions, we will reach out to potential customers of the proposed technologies to conduct interviews designed to test hypothesis on the problem solution fit so that our envisaged technologies are designed to attack real world problems and we can be reasonably sure there is a market for the technology.
