About The Talk

The future of wireless communications is changing rapidly. A few years ago internet video did not exist. Now, you can stream HD Video on your phone while flying across country. This talk is about where wireless communications are today, how we got here, and what will be possible with billions of connected devices and massive amounts of bandwidth.
