  • Mhz-Foundation Annual Report 2019
    Annual Report 2019 Letter from the Chairman of the Board It’s hard to understate just how excited I am to report upon the excellent work of the MHz Foundation team in FY2019. This year, we launched the MHz Curationist project which we had in development for two years. MHz Curationist is a curated and searchable CMS database of Creative Commons, Open Access, and Public Domain content, which aims to communicate cultural narratives to foster curiosity, intercultural exchange, and dialog. In FY2019, we also took a more focused look at the community we want to serve, and met several partners that can help us get to the bright future we envision. Finally, we had a chance to put our ideas out there into the world with the soft launch of MHz Curationist, at the Creative Commons Global Summit in Portugal (May 2019). To give you a full perspective on what a big shift this year has been, I need to remind many of you about our history. MHz Networks was founded as a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) corporation in 2015, and changed its name to MHz Foundation. However, the history of the organization that we steward goes all the way back to 2001, as a television network covering the Washington, D.C. marketplace with international television programming, namely Chinese, Russian, French, South African and Turkish programs. Since its inception, MHz has been committed to bringing global content and perspectives to North American audiences. However, delivering that content to our audiences has been through a television broadcast platform, and for most of our history, focused on the local D.C.

  • Effectively Testing 700 Mhz Public Safety LTE Broadband and P25 Narrowband Networks
    Effectively Testing 700 MHz Public Safety LTE Broadband and P25 Narrowband Networks By David Witkowski, Sr. Product Manager, Anritsu Company In times of great emergency (such as the September 11th attacks, Hurricane Katrina, or the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico) access to reliable, integrated communications and tactical information is absolutely critical. Unfortunately the ability to mount a coordinated inter-agency response to major threats is often hampered by the proliferation of divergent signaling standards and non-aligned spectrum planning. APCO Project 25 (commonly called “P25”) digital radio systems are typically used as a solution to the voice communications aspect of this problem. However while P25 systems might effectively support mission-critical voice and low-bandwidth data applications, they fail to provide the high-speed data performance necessary to support the multimedia applications on which today’s public safety agencies are increasingly relying. During the 2007 collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota the availability of a municipal Wi-Fi network covering the impacted area proved to be an invaluable tool for the emergency response. The 3GPP 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard offers a solution to the need for wide-area broadband public safety networks, serving as the preferred broadband technology of choice for the 700 MHz public safety radio band. Now, an LTE-based network can be overlaid on the P25 Land Mobile Radio (LMR) network to deliver both the speed and low latency required to provide public safety agencies with the advanced multimedia capabilities they demand. Using LTE for the 700 MHz broadband public-safety network provides public safety agencies with a number of key benefits, not the least of which is the ability to take advantage of the rapidly expanding cellular infrastructure.

  • Mhz-Foundation Annual Report 2020
    ‘Man with face mask in Japan’ by Lucrezia Carnelos 2020 Annual Report Letter from the Chairman of the Board This year has been the most difficult for many in recent history, but I'm pleased to bring some good news and hope to the table, in this yearly report from MHz Foundation. I share updates on MHz Curationist, the flagship project of the MHz Foundation, an ecosystem for collecting and sharing cultural materials from the Creative Commons and public domain. We aim to build connections and deepen cultural awareness by collectively framing the world we share. As we reported last year, we successfully launched our beta Curationist platform in the spring of 2019 at the Creative Commons summit in Lisbon, Portugal, and our efforts over the past year have been dedicated to community-building, and bringing our platform to a fully functioning 2.0 version. Today, I will share what we mean by our 2.0 vision. The vision of Curationist has shifted since we first conceptualized it. The first vision of the site was an online museum of Creative Commons and public domain exhibits, curated by a single curator, and possibly a team of curators, as a museum that would curate exhibits. The second vision of Curationist came through the realization that if we allowed the general public to curate, we could make a much stronger global impact through enabling the sharing of visual storytelling, leveraging the same free licensing schema that would allow us to offer those tools without gatekeepers. Our third and current vision of the site, which we call Curationist 2.0, is an evolution of our revised vision, but one that grew out of the difficulties we found in attempting to bring our original vision to fruition.
