US: ATIS - Wide Area Broadcast

Description

This solution is used within the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: ATIS with those for C-X: Wide Area Broadcast. The US: ATIS standards include upper-layer standards required to implement traveler information communications. The C-X: Wide Area Broadcast standards include lower-layer standards that support one entity broadcasting information to all wireless devices over an area that covers at least a metropolitan area without any expectation of acknowledgement or response; security is provided by the upper-layers.

Includes Standards

Readiness: Low

Readiness Description

One serious or several significant issues. This category often includes proprietary or partial solutions. The communications solution may fail to provide even a base level of interoperability and security. Consider alternative solutions, or define specific revisions or upgrades that would provide a level of interoperability or security that are needed for the deployment.
