Research & Development

The focus of Blue Moon’s Research and Development division (BMRD) is to identify telecommunication access barriers in current and future technologies, work with others in the field to identify solution strategies, test them, implement any necessary standards, and assist industry in transferring the ideas into commercial products. The BMRD's primary mission is to find ways to make standard systems directly usable by people with all types and degrees of disability, and to work with industry and government to put access strategies into place. The overall program can be viewed as consisting of four interrelated areas:

1) Research Program

2) Applied Research and Development

3) Transfer and Technical Assistance

4) Dissemination, Education and User Support

Technologies being addressed by the BMRD include:

• Customer premises equipment of all types including WI-FI, WAN, HOT SPOTS, and BWA
• Voice, Video and Data through single wireless transmission
• Mobile wireless for broadband data
• Unlicensed interferencies
• Next-generation multimedia telecommunication systems
