2016 Headlights Workshop on Frontiers in Wireless Connectivity

Topic: 
Frontiers in Wireless Connectivity
Tuesday, April 5, 2016 - 8:00am to Thursday, April 7, 2016 - 3:55pm
Venue: 
Huang Engineering Center, Stanford University
Abstract / Description: 

The 2016 SystemX Headlights Workshop focuses on advances in wireless technologies and their applications.

The opening day covers the evolving wireless communications technology itself (5G, Wi-Fi, PAN/BAN) and their arising new challenges: efficient spectrum use, the movement to higher frequencies of operation, challenges in concurrency. We are honored to have Dr. Chih-Lin I, China Mobile's Chief Scientist of Wireless Technologies, lead off that day with a keynote talk.

The second day topics are on the deployment, proliferation of wireless connectivity.  Sessions will cover the rapidly developing wireless infrastructure, the emergence of new connected devices/new services, and some of the system technology challenges both have created.  We are delighted to have Dr. Ken Stewart, Intel's Chief Wireless Technologist for Mobility, open the second day with a keynote.  We are ending the conference with a panel on deployment opportunities and challenges that includes Dr. Craig Barratt, responsible for Access and Energy at Google; and Vijay Sammeta, San Jose’s CIO.
