CW TEC to address terrestrial TV, M2M, IoT, wearable connectivity and more

The inaugural CW Technology & Engineering Conference will take a top down look at the impact of emerging technologies on millimetre, microwave, UHF and VHF spectral value.

The inaugural CW Technology & Engineering Conference will take a top down look at the impact of emerging technologies on millimetre, microwave, UHF and VHF spectral value. Taking place on 24th March 2015 at PwC’s London offices, the conference will provide a unique insight into impact that mobile, satellite, TV, IOT and wearable technology will have on the value of licensed and unlicensed spectrum – from VHF to KA band and beyond – addressing the question as to whether present technology platforms should become more similar or dissimilar over time.

Jass Sarai, Technology Industry Leader at PwC UK, who are sponsoring and hosting the event, will set the scene with his opening keynote addressing UK technology landscape and relevance.

Other speakers include Alan Carlton, Managing Director, InterDigital Europe Ltd; Andy Sutton, Principal Network Architect, EE; Graham Peters, Director, Avanti Consulting; Moray Rumney, Lead Technologist, Keysight Technologies; Sami Susiaho, Head of Edge Technologies, BskyB; Martin Gostling, Technical Director, Radio Design; Dan Fox, Director of Technology, Anritsu; Kent Walker, Vice President Technology, Qualcomm; Alexander Schertz, Researcher, IRT; Chris Nokes  Lead R&D Engineer BBC; Dr John Haine, RF Technology Innovation Coordinator, u-blox AG; Paul Morris, Fellow at CSR and Raj  Gawera, VP Marketing, Samsung Cambridge.

Comprising four sessions the conference aims to of identify the physical layer technologies, hardware platforms and higher layer protocols that will have the biggest impact on future global spectral value. These will include:

  • Mobile broadband and GEO satellite technology evolution and the related impact on the 4G to 5Gg transition
  • WiFi and low earth orbit satellites
  • Terrestrial broadcasting and mobile broadband
  • Machine to machine/IOT and wearable connectivity

In addition to the main sponsors, PwC, the inaugural CW TEC event is also sponsored by InterDigital Europe Ltd, Microlease and Keysight Technologies, Anritsu and Interlligent.
