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.

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.
