The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS), a research and engineering laboratory of the US Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). ITS supports such NTIA telecommunications objectives as promotion of advanced telecommunications and information infrastructure development in the US, enhancement of domestic competitiveness, improvement of foreign trade opportunities for US telecommunications firms, and facilitation of more efficient and effective use of the radio spectrum.
