SUMMARY:WCA's First Tech Talk - The Broadband divide in Rural California
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nCalSPEED 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.\n\nWe’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.\n\nNovarum’s own research from on the ground residential WiFi surveys in three California cities will add importance to the WiFi measurements from CalSPEED Home.\nGet Ken’s presentation here: New America August 2018

SUMMARY:Spectrum Overview: 2019 and beyond...
DESCRIPTION:5G is beginning to accelerate rapidly with many Carriers announcing dates. 5G has been long considered an idea without meat\, but\, in fact\, we see advancements in the Access and Core networks\, as well as the regulatory framework\, that promise to deliver significant connectivity improvements in the very near future.  It’s an opportunity for builders of Edge Networks\, Small Cells\, Optical components\, and millimeter wave radio systems\, and the ecosystems that surround these\, to address new markets and drive new business opportunities. \nThe Wireless Communications Alliance (WCA) will present an overview of the radio and regulatory side of 5G.  We will focus on the spectral allocations that provide the additional pipe necessary for enormous bandwidth\, and the RAN and Access technologies that will face the customer\, man or machine. We will hear from specialists about how these technologies fit into the 5G world\, what gaps exist in the ecosystem\, and what spectrum is leverable? \nAgenda: \n\nModerator: Chip Yorkgitis – Kelley\, Drye\, and Warren:   Overview of the Spectrum Airscape\nMohammed Shakouri – WiMAX Forum:   Recent Low band allocations @ 900 MHz & 2.5 GHz\nMat Varghese – Google:   Opportunities in CBRS – new opportunities @ 3.5 GHz\nChuck Lukaszewski – Aruba Networks:   A new Frontier @ 6 GHz\nIlan Vardi – MAG Consultants:   mmWave Spectrum for 5G\n\nAdmission: $30

SUMMARY:CES 2019 Debrief
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur 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.  \nCES 2019 DEBRIEF\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:IoT Forum on Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSmart 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: \n\nSmart meters for utilities\nIntelligent traffic signals\nE-governance applications\nWi-Fi kiosks\nRadio frequency identification (RFID) sensors in pavement\n…and many more uses by the city and from 3rd party providers\, as well.\n\nNot 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. \nJoin 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: \n\nIoT sensors\nData platforms\nEnergy consumption\, demand management\, smart buildings\nTraffic flow\, connected vehicles\nMobility solutions\, multi-modality\nUse of the z-axis for transport (autonomous flight)\nDeliveries and moving of goods\nSecurity and Public safety\nUbiquitous connectivity & networks\nWho pays\, how? Biz models?\nOpen data\nRadio frequency identification (RFID) sensors in pavement\nPrivacy in a smart city?\n\nNo shortage of hot topics. See you there. \nFEES \nIoT Forum and ComTech Forum Member Registration\, FREE\nNon-Member Registration\, $200\nSpotlight Table\, $500\nPrerevenue Startup discount\, 50% – Contact us for a discount code

SUMMARY:ComTech Forum on Network Transformation
DESCRIPTION: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. \nConsumers 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.  \nNetwork 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. \nThat’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. \nJoin ComTech Forum members and guests to discuss the state of network transformation and discover startups that are pushing the industry forward. \nWHAT TO EXPECT\nMonthly ComTech Forum meetings gather communications industry professionals who represent vendors\, telcos\, investors and startups focused on innovation. This month’s meeting is a condensed 2-hour agenda with facilitated networking and introductions\, interactive discussion\, technology demo tables\, and rapid fire startups pitches. \nFEES \nMember Registration\, FREE\nNon-Member Registration\, $200\nSpotlight Table\, $500\nPrerevenue Startup discount\, 50% \n\nGET INVOLVED \n\nSpeakers: ComTech Forum reviews speaker applications for this and future meetings on a rolling basis.
