NRF 2020 Vision
2020-01-12 - 2020-01-15 | New York, NY
In retail, vision isn’t something you have, it’s something you do. A course of action. A plan of attack. A way of working that not only predicts the future, but creates it – one day at a time. That kind of vision isn’t easy to find, but this year of all years it’s worth taking a closer look. NRF 2020: Retail’s Big Show. It’s the one place where we all come together to see beyond what is, to reveal what could be. Plotting a vision for where we’re going by learning from where we’ve been. It’s where visionary talent meets visionary tech. Where big box retailers share out of the box ideas, and the latest and greatest becomes the here and now.

Spectrum Overview: 2020 and beyond...
2020-01-28 18:00 - 21:00 | 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.
Register Now
The Wireless Communications Alliance (WCA) will present an overview of the radio and regulatory side of unlicensed wireless technologies. We will focus on the spectral allocations that provide the additional pipe necessary for enormous bandwidth. We will hear from specialists abo

ut how these technologies fit into the modern world, what gaps exist in the ecosystem, and what spectrum is leverable?
Speakers:

Ken Pyle, Viodi View – Moderator
Andrew Clegg, Google – CBRS has Launched!
Chip Yorkgitis, Kelley, Drye and Warren – FCC – State of Unlicensed
Chuck Lukaszewski, HP Aruba – new 6 GHz Allocations
Mark Jen, Common Networks – 60 GHz – What this means for the future.
Richard Bernhardt, WISPA – State of U-NII – 2.4, 5.8

Come join us for insights, thoughtful discussion, and refreshments.
