Today it is experiencing a flurry of interest due to the expectation that it will be one of the key sensors to enable autonomous driving. More than $2.1 billion is raised to date\, and more than 85 companies are developing automotive-grade LIDAR sensors using their unique approaches. This conference is the only event in the world exclusively focused on automotive LIDAR technologies and applications. The conference’s sessions will describe the various approaches to make a LIDAR system and explain via physics and math the reasons to choose one approach over another. We will also discuss the publicly disclosed methods from each known developer\, their strengths and weaknesses\, and how likely they are to scale in manufacturability and cost. The conference will also provide overviews of marketplace projections and business trends. The material presented will enable attendees to make well-informed decisions regarding which LIDAR approaches are optimal for solving their challenges and requirements. \n\n\n\nConference Topics\n\n\n\nExpert reviews and analyses of state-of-the-art LIDAR technologiesBusiness trends\, market projections\, M&A developments\, and startup activityLIDAR data fusion with other types of sensors such as radar and cameraImpacts of enabling technologies such as artificial intelligenceNotable academic research related to LIDAR for automotive applicationsLIDAR data processing techniques and algorithmsSupply chain trends and challenges\, government regulations\, and mandatesFabrication\, packaging\, and system assembly techniquesReliability testing methodologies and techniquesTechnology transfer\, ecosystems and research hubs\, company formation URL:https://wca.org/event/automotive-lidar-2021/ CATEGORIES:Partner Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://wca.org/wp-content/uploads/Thumb_Lidar2021.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210907T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210907T110000 DTSTAMP:20260527T001532 CREATED:20210820T053520Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210823T024628Z UID:32949-1631008800-1631012400@wca.org SUMMARY:5G Things Dialogues at (Ericsson) D-15: Connecting the Startup ecosystem event DESCRIPTION:5G is more than just a technology; it is a platform for innovation. 5G and edge provide opportunities for enterprises to enable digital transformation\, and the start-up ecosystem has a significant role to play. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n For this 5G Things Dialogues event\, Connecting the Start-up Ecosystem\, Ericsson is excited to welcome: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jan Söderström (Moderator)\n ice President and Head of Advanced Technology and Industry U.S.\, Ericsson \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Amanda Todd\n Sr. Director of Strategic Planning\, Advanced & Emerging Technologies\, T-Mobile \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jim Brisimitzis\n General Manager & CEO\, 5G Open Innovation Lab\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rob Tiffany\n Vice President and Head of IoT Strategy\, Ericsson \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register for this event\n \n Scan the QR code to register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nRegistration: \n\n\n\nhttps://foryou.ericsson.com/5G-Things-Dialogues-at-Ericsson-D-15-Connecting-Startup-Ecosystem-registration.html URL:https://wca.org/event/5g-things-dialogues-at-d-15-connecting-the-startup-ecosystem-event/ CATEGORIES:Partner Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://wca.org/wp-content/uploads/Thumb_EricssonD15Sept7-e1629438407229.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210817T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210817T093000 DTSTAMP:20260527T001532 CREATED:20210812T013648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210812T013653Z UID:32862-1629187200-1629192600@wca.org SUMMARY:Distance ‘Wireless’ Charging Technology\, a reality!

WHIN’s aerostat is located in White County\, Indiana\, about 25 miles north of Purdue University. Its telecommunications capability includes LoRaWAN\, supporting digital ag and manufacturing technology in WHIN’s Living IoT Lab. The aerostat also carries 5.8 GHz gear for initial broadband testing before CBRS technology is deployed later this year. The aerostat is part of WHIN’s research network\, which will be used to generate publically available use cases to address technology and business issues for both broadband and narrowband rural applications.

In general\, global populations are urbanizing\, but congestion and pollution have shown us that 20th Century solutions for moving people and goods around cities simply won’t work anymore. Historically\, as cities grew\, the solution to mobility was seen as more cars and more roads. But we know now that this strategy eventually hits a literal bottleneck as cities grow\, and countless hours are wasted in traffic. \n\n\n\nThe 21st Century city needs 21st Century mobility solutions\, and we now have the opportunity to invent them\, since the modern Smart City offers a wealth of data\, systems\, AI\, and connectivity which have never been available before. We are on the verge of a new era\, where innovators will take the capabilities of the Smart City\, and leverage them to improve mobility by: \n\n\n\nintegrating transport\, mobility\, and logistic systemsfacilitating multi-modal fast commutesreducing CO2 emissions and pollutantsempowering e-business and e-commerceintegrating with Software-Defined cellular networksmanaging the use resources: energy\, real estate\, and otherminimizing energy consumption and control pollution.\n\n\n\nJoin Autotech Council members for a morning of debate and discovery\, product demos\, startup pitches\, and great networking as we get a sense of the innovations and opportunities that will advance the world’s Smart Cities.
