Today it is experiencing a flurry of interest due to the expectation that it will be one of the key sensors to enable autonomous driving. More than $2.1 billion is raised to date\, and more than 85 companies are developing automotive-grade LIDAR sensors using their unique approaches. This conference is the only event in the world exclusively focused on automotive LIDAR technologies and applications. The conference’s sessions will describe the various approaches to make a LIDAR system and explain via physics and math the reasons to choose one approach over another. We will also discuss the publicly disclosed methods from each known developer\, their strengths and weaknesses\, and how likely they are to scale in manufacturability and cost. The conference will also provide overviews of marketplace projections and business trends. The material presented will enable attendees to make well-informed decisions regarding which LIDAR approaches are optimal for solving their challenges and requirements. \n\n\n\nConference Topics\n\n\n\nExpert reviews and analyses of state-of-the-art LIDAR technologiesBusiness trends\, market projections\, M&A developments\, and startup activityLIDAR data fusion with other types of sensors such as radar and cameraImpacts of enabling technologies such as artificial intelligenceNotable academic research related to LIDAR for automotive applicationsLIDAR data processing techniques and algorithmsSupply chain trends and challenges\, government regulations\, and mandatesFabrication\, packaging\, and system assembly techniquesReliability testing methodologies and techniquesTechnology transfer\, ecosystems and research hubs\, company formation URL:https://wca.org/event/automotive-lidar-2021/ CATEGORIES:Partner Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://wca.org/wp-content/uploads/Thumb_Lidar2021.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210923T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210923T113000 DTSTAMP:20260518T152537 CREATED:20210806T190405Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210903T175719Z UID:32811-1632385800-1632396600@wca.org SUMMARY:Telecom Council Innovation Review on 5G RAN DESCRIPTION:The transition to 5G is placing pressure on (and creating opportunities for) network operators to improve efficiency and introduce new products and services.

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has exploded in a way that few in business could have predicted. An Industrial IoT platform is a type of industrial IoT software that allows organizations to securely manage all the connected people\, systems\, and things within an IIoT ecosystem. \n\n\n\nManaging a few industrial IoT sensors would be quite straightforward but today a business can have hundreds of thousands of industrial IoT devices conducting numerous tasks throughout the organization. Industrial IoT devices come in all shapes and sizes. There are no common industrial IoT standards or connection methods. Managing an industrial IoT network means having the ability to monitor and control an array of heterogeneous range of industrial IoT devices. A central industrial IoT platform provides a solution to the rapid growth of industrial IoT in almost every industry sector. \n\n\n\nFollowing are a few must-have characteristics of an IIoT-enabled Industry: \n\n\n\nAccurate control over operational processesLow power consumptionExtremely secure implementationsFast and flexible: Near zero lag in response timeHighly reliable in extremely harsh conditions of pressure\, temperature and humiditySophisticated data analytics that leads to effective decision-making\n\n\n\nThe Wireless Communication Alliance invites you to listen in as a selected panel of experts explore how the development and deployment of a perfect IIoT Gadget should look like. \n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\n4:00 – 4:10: Event Introductions and Acknowledgements – Moderator Introduction4:10 – 5:10: Panel Discussion and Q&A Moderation5:10 – 5:30: Q&A Panel\, Raffle and Thank you note and closure \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Speaker Bio:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator – Prakash Sangam\n Tantra Analyst\n \n \n \n Prakash Sangam is the founder and the Principal at Tantra Analyst LLC.

Edge AI\, the technique of processing AI algorithms on a hardware device locally\, has several advantages: increased levels of automation and flexibility\, faster performance with stronger data protection and privacy\, and real-time data and decision making. Edge AI helps in analyzing local situations swiftly and provides a fast response\, with no connection to the internet needed\, which is of immeasurable value in the Health and Safety Monitoring use case. \n\n\n\nYour challenge for this DeepHack is to develop Edge AI-powered sensors and computer vision solutions to aid individuals or groups of people to stay safe and healthy. \n\n\n\nPotential solution domains include fall monitoring\, pedestrian/bicyclist safety\, monitoring physical distance and mask-wearing\, physical worker safety\, fitness\, and posture tracking – and other health and safety problems that can be addressed by utilizing Edge AI for IoT. \n\n\n\nThis initiative is organized by EIT Digital and the German American Business Association (GABA) and supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany\, funded by the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi).
