In this demonstration proposal we describe a prototype of a radio environment map (REM) for storing and reasoning about spectrum data obtained from heterogeneous sources. The architecture of the REM prototype is both modular and extendible, and can be used with very diverse spectrum sensors, ranging from high-fidelity spectrum analyzers to dedicated low-cost embedded solutions. In the proposed demonstration we will illustrate how information such as transmitter locations and estimates of spectrum occupancy over space and time can be inferred and made available through the REM, based on information obtained from a network of different spectrum sensors deployed specifically for the demonstration.
