... software defined radio(SDR) is a technology capable of configuring a wireless device to work with any communications system, be it a cellular phone, a pager, a WI-FI transceiver, an FM or AM radio, a satellite communications terminal and even a garage door opener... And more importantly, the same technology can facilitate interoperability among the communications systems used by military, police and rescue-relief teams, who currently cannot always communicate with each other, even sometimes in critical, life-threatening situations because of incompatible radio systems. 5, record 1, English, - software%20defined%20radio

La radio réalisée par logiciel (RRL) est une technologie permettant de configurer un appareil sans fil pour le faire fonctionner avec n'importe quel système de communication, que ce soit un téléphone cellulaire, un téléavertisseur, un émetteur-récepteur Wi-Fi, une radio FM ou AM, un terminal de communication par satellite ou même une télécommande d'ouvre-porte de garage [...] Mais avant tout, cette technologie peut faciliter l'interopérabilité entre les systèmes de communication utilisés par les forces armées, les forces de l’ordre et les équipes de sauvetage et de secours qui, actuellement, ne sont pas toujours en mesure de communiquer entre elles, même en situation critique ou périlleuse, à cause de l'incompatibilité des systèmes radio. 5, record 1, French, - radio%20r%C3%A9alis%C3%A9e%20par%20logiciel

La boucle locale est constituée de la paire de fils de cuivre, enterrée ou aérienne, qui relient l'abonné au centrale le plus proche. Par opposition à cette configuration filaire, la boucle locale radio a été historiquement utilisée pour la desserte d'habitats isolés ou difficiles d'accès. Ce n'est que récemment avec l'évolution des technologies et la perspective de la libéralisation des marchés des télécommunications, que les technologies radio sont apparues comme des solutions alternatives intéressantes à la boucle locale filaire traditionnelle. 3, record 3, French, - acc%C3%A8s%20hertzien
