WCA Tech Talk - Privacy-centric cloud service for mobile operators
2019-05-14 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Azbil North America, Inc., 2334 Walsh Ave, Santa Clara, CA, 95051, United States
The re-invention of cloud storage has begun. 0Box, a product from 0Chain, is a decentralized storage platform to keep your data private, transparently. You do not need to trust 0Box to backup your personal data, family photos and videos, because you can now validate it yourself. You can share personal photos knowing that 0Box does not see or control your images, nor does it monetize them for marketing purposes. No one has access to your data, except you. If 0Box is hacked, there may be service disruption, but your data remains private.
In this Meetup, Saswata Basu, CEO of 0Chain, a distributed ledger company, will discuss how Service Providers can capitalize on a privacy-centric cloud offering, 0Box, to reduce churn and increase revenue. 0Box will be available for alphaNet on April 17. Check out https://0chain.net for details.

2019-02-27 18:00 - 20:00 | WeWork, San Jose, 75 E Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA, 95113, United States
The California Public Utilities Commission has been measuring broadband in California since 2012, both to inform consumers of their choices in purchasing broadband and to inform decisions by the California Advanced Technology Fund in investing in underserved broadband.

CalSPEED delivers an open source broadband measurement tool, independent of carriers. CalSPEED Mobile used this tool to measure and map mobile broadband throughout California from 2012-2017 documenting the growth, strong variability and persistent rural/urban broadband divide. CalSPEED Home uses this same measurement tool to assess residential broadband and the WiFi service almost universally used by users.

We’ll discuss the program and its findings, first the CalSPEED Mobile broadband measurement program from 2012-2017 and then the CalSPEED Home residential broadband measurement program beginning in 2019.

Novarum’s own research from on the ground residential WiFi surveys in three California cities will add importance to the WiFi measurements from CalSPEED Home.

CES 2019 Debrief
2019-01-17 08:30 - 11:00 | SRI International, 333 Ravenswood Av, Suite AD 133, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, United States
As all foot-weary telecom professionals know, after your string of meetings back and forth around a tradeshow, there’s precious little time to actually spend learning what’s hot, and seeing the most worthwhile on the show floor. That’s why The Telecom Council puts together these roundtable events after large tradeshows – so our members can share what they learned, what they saw, and their opinions of the products and companies in the news.
Our Debrief meetings give members who didn’t go a chance to learn from those who did, and those who went also get the chance to fill out their notes with things they might have missed. Participation in these debriefs and the Debrief Reports are included in membership.
CES 2019 DEBRIEF
This month we debrief Consumer Electronics Show 2019. Along with a Debrief Report from our analyst, our members share what they learned, what they saw, and their opinions of the products and companies that made an impression on them at the show.

IoT Forum on Smart Cities
2018-12-06 12:00 - 16:00 | Itron, 230 W Tasman Dr, San Jose, CA, 95134, United States
Cities are growing fast as populations grow, and more people choose city life over rural options. City living is inherently efficient, with more people sharing infrastructure, living in smaller spaces, driving less and sharing HVAC costs. But the density of population also means that cities are where future investments in efficiency can pay the greatest dividends. That requires cities get smart.
Smart Cities use various data collection systems and IoT sensors to fill a data lake that can be leveraged to managed assets and resources efficiently. Desirable outcomes can be achieved in real-time or long-term by using the increased information about the city. The National League of Cities reported in 2017 that 66% of US cities are investing in Smart City technology, noting that the top uses of Smart tech include:

Smart meters for utilities
Intelligent traffic signals
E-governance applications
Wi-Fi kiosks
Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors in pavement
…and many more uses by the city and from 3rd party providers, as well.

Not all cities are alike, so there is no reproducible plan that should be implemented everywhere. Each town must consider their unique situation, and things like population density, available wealth, and existing infrastructure and services. And while cities may centrally plan a Smart City roadmap, private companies may simultaneously implement their solutions, both helping and complicating the picture. Examples include airbnb, Byrd, or Uber. Thus, cities need to grapple with how to interact and collaborate with these private ventures to get the optimal outcomes.
Join us as we consider the Smart City, and hear from a variety of stakeholders from government, to telco, to startups. Ideas we expect to cover at our meeting will include:

IoT sensors
Data platforms
Energy consumption, demand management, smart buildings
Traffic flow, connected vehicles
Mobility solutions, multi-modality
Use of the z-axis for transport (autonomous flight)
Deliveries and moving of goods
Security and Public safety
Ubiquitous connectivity & networks
Who pays, how? Biz models?
Open data
Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors in pavement
Privacy in a smart city?

No shortage of hot topics. See you there.

ComTech Forum on Network Transformation
2018-11-16 11:00 - 13:00 | Hewlett Packard Enterprise EBC, 3000 Hanover St, Bldg 20A, Palo Alto, CA, 94304
Leading telcos are well under way with their Digital Network Transformations. And for wireless carriers, 5G is a big impetus to update the entire network. Digital Network Transformation that involves the core, datacenters, applications and services, and most layers of the OSI model. Today’s meeting examines the current state of Network Transformation, the available technologies, the upcoming tech, and the recent successes.
Consumers are seeking faster wireless, rich media, and low-latency, as well as new services over the network. Enterprises are looking for agile networks, intelligent edge options, and with a host of compatible services that can be offered and provisioned rapidly.
Network operators are seeking to meet those demands with Software-Defined networks that are more efficient, automated, running on virtualized systems, scalable on demand, and ultimately lower cost. Service providers need shift from selling technologies (like MPLS) and instead sell..well…services.
That’s why the industry as a whole is contributing towards Digital Network Transformation. It lowers costs, improves reliability, accelerates time-to-new-services, and allows much lower barriers to trial of new solutions. We expect telcos to continue investing heavily in transformation, and the vendors to be building on their product offerings. Our meeting will highlight the state of the art, the state of the transformation, and what’s to come.
Join ComTech Forum members and guests to discuss the state of network transformation and discover startups that are pushing the industry forward.
