Abstract
A homotopy category of spectra parametrized over some space B is constructed, which has useful properties for applications. It is a symmetric monoidal category with multiplication given by the smash product. In the original construction the objects are coordinate free spectra indexed by inner product spaces. A translation of the results to a category whose objects are the more familiar spectra indexed by natural numbers is also given.
