“Connected Everything” Hardware Security Attacks - 2021
2021-09-02 13:00 - 14:00
A demonstration of “side-channel” attacks and a conversation about strategies to solve these problems.

We see major security breaches on everything connected every day – phones, computers, networks, power grids, and even the government. The techniques behind security breaches or attacks are generally made through the ports of a device and are well known and understood across the industry.

However, what’s not so well known, is that unintended emissions or leakage such as electromagnetic radiation or fluctuations in a device’s power line can fuel a class of dangerous and worrisome security attacks, potentially compromising the cryptographic material at the very heart of the device’s security. Initially, these attacks were initially only targeted towards Smart Cards but recently now are being increasingly targeted towards complex System on Chip (SoC) devices.

From a security perspective, this leakage, which was once thought of as relatively innocent, actually emits key clues as to what is going on inside a device and will even show when an encryption algorithm is being processed. Coupled with AI and smart analysis of this leakage, it’s now possible for bad actors to break into all devices and take full control.

The Wireless Communications Alliance invites you to witness a demonstration of how these “side-channel” attacks work in practice and show how device developers are testing and measuring security robustness to better protect and thwart against these attacks.

We will show sophisticated attacks using side-channel or physical fault injection techniques that are practical and may compromise a system – sometimes faster and easier than might have been expected. Highlighting the attacks based on modern techniques targeting recent devices and SoCs, this talk will introduce the concept of side-channel or physical fault injection and provide practical insights about their realization, potential consequences, and cost trade-offs.

Wireless Connectivity for Smart Everything - 2021
2021-08-18 09:00 - 11:00
The adjective “smart” is no longer merely an adverb. It is now a catch-all phrase for anything that improves the performance of a multi-device ecosystem. Making our daily tasks easier, increasing the speed with which information flows, and allowing us to do things in seconds or even microseconds that we could not do before.

Smart cities, smart factories, and smart buildings are examples of Internet of Things hardware and software solutions. It’s all based on wireless technologies. What exactly does the term “Smart” mean in Smart everything?

When you ask different stakeholders what Smart Everything means to them, their answers will vary depending on their point of view.

Join the Wireless Communications Alliance for a round table discussion on Smart Everything with a global panel of experts.

Broadband in Underserved Rural Areas - 2021
2021-07-27 13:00 - 14:30
A conversation on solving the connectivity problem for millions of people in the US (live on ZOOM and Linkedin)

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical nature of access to fast and affordable internet service. As a result, demand for high-speed internet access, defined as “broadband,” has soared to new heights.

One measurement found that the pandemic drove almost a year’s worth of broadband traffic growth in only a few weeks.

As carriers upgrade the network, people in rural areas and other broadband dead zones will gain access to the internet than their urban neighbors have long taken for granted.

Unfortunately, 22.3 percent of Americans in rural areas and 27.7 percent of Americans in Tribal lands lack coverage from fixed terrestrial 25/3 Mbps broadband than only 1.5 percent of Americans in urban areas, according to a recent report by the Federal Communications Commission.

The Wireless Communication Alliance invites you to listen in as a selected panel of experts explores how broadband deployment will transform people’s lives in those areas.

6G - Spectrum for 95 GHz and Above
2021-02-23 16:00 - 17:30
There is widespread recognition that mmWave frequencies offer great promise for many wireless applications that will assist in enhancing U.S. infrastructure, expanding broadband services in rural areas, bringing new vertical industries to the communications network, and maintaining U.S. leadership and economic competitiveness.

Matching this recognition is a significant effort among academic, industry and government leaders to develop and test new wireless technologies and services, including efforts by the Federal Communications Commission to embed 5G and beyond deeply in frequencies above 24 GHz.

Despite this recognition and these efforts, frequencies above 95 GHz are seriously under-developed in the U.S. because of a lack of an adequate regulatory framework for their use.

The Wireless Communications Alliance invites you to listen in as a selected panel of experts explore the regulation and use of the spectrum assigned to 95 GHz and above – which may even lead to 6G.

What's Hot, What's Not
2020-11-18 16:00 - 17:00
Does it make sense to invest in the Industrial IoT market segment?

WCA 21st Annual What’s Hot, What’s Not VC & M&A Panel.

The Wireless Communications Alliance invites you to get together with Silicon Valley VC’s and M&A professionals why they are placing their bets in the market segment of Industrial IoT – or not.

In 2017 the forecast predicted that IoT spending will grow at double-digit numbers until at least 2020.

By 2021, more than 50% of spending on IoT projects will be for software and services.

Yet, specific industries, and within these industries, specific IoT use cases, clearly stick out. It probably won’t come as a surprise that the Industrial IoT (IIoT) leads the way.

Manufacturing operations, freight monitoring, smart grid, smart home, telematics (insurance), remote health monitoring and digital signage and other IoT retail use cases are among the IoT use cases where spending remains high or increases in the next years.

At our 21st annual CenterStage VC Panel, our investor panelists will enlighten us with innovative start-ups that fuel such industry’s growth, where their investments are going and not going, and what paradigm shifting trends and business opportunities they are projecting for 2021 and beyond.
