Spectrum Overview: 2020 and beyond...
2020-01-28 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Aruba Networks, 3333 Scott Blvd, Santa Clara, CA, 95054, United States
2019 showed us a number of spectrum allocations and changes to licensing protocols in anticipation of 5G technologies. 5G allocations continue to move forward, but the basic tenets from last year remain in place. What’s new are advances in unlicensed technologies which also require spectrum to provide real value for new applications and economic growth.

TC3 IoT Forum on Smart Home
2019-12-12 08:30 - 13:00 | Nokia, 200 S. Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA, 94086, United States
IoT Forum members meet monthly in Silicon Valley to discover new companies and technologies, meet partner prospects in person, review market opportunities across the wide spectrum of connected things, and deep dive into a specific segment with the help of buyers and experts. This December, we are focused on innovation in Smart Home.
Smart Homes used to be ALL about automation, but increasingly, this aspect is dropping in relative importance, being supplanted by “connected”. Often products are sold as “useful as connected devices from the quick-start guide”, and with operation through a hub or voice assistant. Then, deeper automation is available via the devices own app, think of a thermostat as an example. We’ll look at the shifting role of automation in Smart Homes – and the newer ways of programming that. Our meeting will examine how the industry is developing these beachheads to grow into the home.

ComTech Forum on Edge Computing
2019-08-28 08:30 - 13:00 | Edge Gravity, 2625 Augustine Drive, Santa Clara, CA, 95054, United States
Edge Computing is at the peak of its hype cycle, so it’s important to suss out the hype from the real value that underpins the technology. Edge Computing is an important tool for networks to move applications and services closer to the customers and the data sources. It can potentially improve reliability, security, latency, agility, core network load, and performance. Gartner projects that more than half of enterprise data will be produced and processed outside of legacy datacenters, getting moved closer to the source and the uses.
The Telecom Council’s meeting on Edge Computing will have a strong focus on Mobile Edge Compute (MEC), since it has such a strong connection to the imminent roll-out of 5G networks. MEC also applies to fixed and 4G networks (Multi-Access Edge Computing), often in some mixed combination, so that’s not off the table, but the main value proposition of Edge is the lower latency, and that makes more sense on a super-fast network. Like a Cabernet Sauvignon goes with a Filet Mignon, MEC pairs extremely well with 5G.
