SUMMARY:Location-Based Services: Where is Waldo? A survey about Indoor and Outdoor deployments and use cases using LBS
DESCRIPTION:Unlike Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle\, Location Based Services want to know where something is and where it is going. Where is Waldo and where is Waldo going? \n\n\n\nThe demand for more sophisticated Indoor and Outdoor Location Based Services (LBS) in terms of application variety and accuracy is tripling every year since the emergence of the smartphone a few years ago. Equally\, smartphone manufacturers are mounting several wireless communication and localization technologies\, inertial sensors as well as powerful processing capability\, to cater to such LBS applications. A hybrid of wireless technologies is needed to provide seamless localization solutions and to improve accuracy\, to reduce time to fix\, and to reduce power consumption. The review of localization techniques/technologies of this emerging field is therefore important. \n\n\n\nThe Wireless Communications Alliance™ invites you to listen in as a selected panel of experts explore how location-based services for indoor and outdoor will transform our lives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Fuller – Moderator – Senior Principal Engineer – Semtech Corporation \n\n\n\n\n\nMichael McNamara – CEO – AdaptiIP \n\n\n\n\n\nLazaros Kapsias – CEO/Founder – Loctio \n\n\n\n\n\nSukhi Lamba – Entrepreneur in Resident – NEC X \n\n\n\n\n\nRaffle: \n\n\n\nWe will raffle off a Time Pyramid Clock. Must be present at time of the raffle. We will send the clock directly to the winner. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us via Zoom on May 6: \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/location-based-services-where-is-waldo-tickets-151827380783

SUMMARY:Wireless Power Transfer 2021
DESCRIPTION:Wireless Power Transfer technology has been a fascinating topic for decades. It was mainly a science project for more than 50 years\, and only until the last ten years the industry started to take a significant investment to develop this technology into commercial and consumer space. Why? Because the number of electronic devices has reached a critical mass and require more flexibility than the wiring solution. \n\n\n\nIn this WCA event\, we will present a few compelling applications that require wireless power technology and understand what’s the current challenge and where we are heading in the future. Among those applications include EV\, consumer electronics and IIoT.

SUMMARY:6G - Spectrum for 95 GHz and Above
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nMatching 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. \n\n\n\nDespite 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nInvited Speakers: \n\n\n\nRobert Heath – Moderator – North Carolina State UniversityMichael Marcus – Marcus Spectrum Solutions LLC Josep Jornet – Northeastern UniversityBen Coffin – NIRoger Nichols – KeysightAmitava Ghosh – Nokia\n\n\n\n\n\nPost Event Material\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6G – Spectrum for 95 GHz and Above\n  February 23\, 2021 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm PST\n\n\n\n\n  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.

SUMMARY:What's Hot\, What's Not
DESCRIPTION:Does it make sense to invest in the Industrial IoT market segment? \n\n\n\n\n\nWCA 21st Annual What’s Hot\, What’s Not VC & M&A Panel. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nIn 2017 the forecast predicted that IoT spending will grow at double-digit numbers until at least 2020.  \n\n\n\nBy 2021\, more than 50% of spending on IoT projects will be for software and services. \n\n\n\nYet\, 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. \n\n\n\nManufacturing 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. \n\n\n\nAt 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. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nLisa Oshima (Founder and Managing Consultant\, Socialize Mobilize – Moderator) Tricia Salinero\, (Managing Director – Woodside Capital Partners)Richard Curtin (Managing Partner – Silicon Catalyst)Jack Juedj (Band of Angels)\n\n\n\nEntertainment provided by: \n\n\n\nThe Midnight Ramblerz \n\n\n\n\n\nPost Event Material\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Hot\, What’s Not\n  \nNovember 18\, 2020 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm PST\n\n\n\n\n\n  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.

SUMMARY:ComTech Forum on Private Networks\, PWLAN & Slices
DESCRIPTION:Wired networks have always reigned as the top standard for carrying data in the enterprise\, but the latest wireless technologies are poised to knock those tangles of CAT5 off the pedestal. Private Networks\, using 5G (or sometimes LTE) can carry data as fast\, as securely\, but with way more flexibility than enterprises have ever enjoyed. \n\n\n\nTelecoms have a real opportunity here\, and it is everyone’s opportunity to win or lose. Knowledge\, partners\, and quick decisions will be needed to win in this space. \n\n\n\nJoin ComTech Forum’s virtual meeting on Private Networks and Slices to discover the technologies and meet the startups addressing this opportunity. \n\n\n\nDetails & Registration https://telecomcouncil.cventevents.com/20CP2Fee $200

SUMMARY:Gizmos & Gadgets 2020
DESCRIPTION:Sensors @ the Edge of IoT for today’s COVID pandemic \n\n\n\nA conversation on Sensors\, Wireless and IoT in times like Covid-19 \n\n\n\n\nIn 2020 the world was changed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This has sprung numerous social distancing and remote monitoring applications that rely on the use of sensors\, wireless protocols\, and IoT platforms.  From temperature monitoring\, contact tracing\, crowd counting – sensors are at the edge of today’s IoT solutions.  Using mixed technologies such as LoRa\, Bluetooth\, Wi-Fi\, and LTE\, we’ll discuss situational advantages when each technology comes into play and considerations in deploying a sensor network. From the factory to the farm\, we’ll review  examples how sensors have helped keep people and food safe\, quite literally.   \n\n\n\nSensorWorks and WCA are pleased to present an informative talk with sensor experts on how their sensor ‘Gizmo and Gadget’ has been used to solve real-world problems. \n\n\n\nInvited Speakers: \n\n\n\nTom Hunt (Axcellex – Moderator) Andy Do (SensorWorks)Reinier  van der Lee (Vinduino)Barney Barnowski (Tektelic)\n\n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: \n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87070558005?pwd=L2R5b1FsWjRXVU8wVG1LYVJDNlg0dz09 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 870 7055 8005 \n\n\n\nPasscode: 053292 \n\n\n\nEntertainment provided by: \n\n\n\nThe Midnight Ramblerz \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPost Event Materials: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGizmos & Gadgets 2020\n  \nSeptember 24\, 2020 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm PDT\n\n\n\n\n  In 2020 the world was changed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
