alright I’m gonna focus today I’m gonna do a little bit of a technology talk and
do a little bit of a technology talk and
do a little bit of a technology talk and I’m gonna talk about Wi-Fi how many of
I’m gonna talk about Wi-Fi how many of
I’m gonna talk about Wi-Fi how many of you are familiar with Wi-Fi show of
you are familiar with Wi-Fi show of
you are familiar with Wi-Fi show of hands okay that’s good how many of you
hands okay that’s good how many of you
hands okay that’s good how many of you have used Wi-Fi today show of hands
have used Wi-Fi today show of hands
have used Wi-Fi today show of hands okay all right that’s good
okay all right that’s good
okay all right that’s good so Wi-Fi is a technology has some
so Wi-Fi is a technology has some
so Wi-Fi is a technology has some interesting properties and I think there
interesting properties and I think there
interesting properties and I think there are three reasons that it’s one of the
are three reasons that it’s one of the
are three reasons that it’s one of the more interesting technologies and
more interesting technologies and
more interesting technologies and something that’s worthy of a talk one as
something that’s worthy of a talk one as
something that’s worthy of a talk one as we’ve just proven almost everybody uses
we’ve just proven almost everybody uses
we’ve just proven almost everybody uses it everybody is familiar with this
it everybody is familiar with this
it everybody is familiar with this technology – like all technologies one
technology – like all technologies one
technology – like all technologies one of the key things that happens is that
of the key things that happens is that
of the key things that happens is that it advances it keeps moving in terms of
it advances it keeps moving in terms of
it advances it keeps moving in terms of speed in terms of distance in terms of
speed in terms of distance in terms of
speed in terms of distance in terms of technical parameters 3 and interestingly
technical parameters 3 and interestingly
technical parameters 3 and interestingly enough it’s one of the few technologies
enough it’s one of the few technologies
enough it’s one of the few technologies that keeps finding its ways into
that keeps finding its ways into
that keeps finding its ways into different products different end
different products different end
different products different end products we would have never imagined
products we would have never imagined
products we would have never imagined when this industry started that we’d be
when this industry started that we’d be
when this industry started that we’d be seeing Wi-Fi in so many different end
seeing Wi-Fi in so many different end
seeing Wi-Fi in so many different end devices and we’ll talk a little bit
devices and we’ll talk a little bit
devices and we’ll talk a little bit about that I suppose there’s a fourth
about that I suppose there’s a fourth
about that I suppose there’s a fourth reason that Wi-Fi is kind of interesting
reason that Wi-Fi is kind of interesting
reason that Wi-Fi is kind of interesting and that’s that I’ve been working on it
and that’s that I’ve been working on it
and that’s that I’ve been working on it for 15 or 16 years so I know one or two
for 15 or 16 years so I know one or two
for 15 or 16 years so I know one or two things about it ok one or two we’ll see
things about it ok one or two we’ll see
things about it ok one or two we’ll see if I’m right by the end of the talk I I
if I’m right by the end of the talk I I
if I’m right by the end of the talk I I don’t know who does these things I don’t
don’t know who does these things I don’t
don’t know who does these things I don’t know who has the time for this I
know who has the time for this I
know who has the time for this I definitely don’t have the time for this
definitely don’t have the time for this
definitely don’t have the time for this but somebody did a survey about Wi-Fi
but somebody did a survey about Wi-Fi
but somebody did a survey about Wi-Fi and there were some interesting factoids
and there were some interesting factoids
and there were some interesting factoids that came up first 60 percent of
that came up first 60 percent of
that came up first 60 percent of respondents can’t go a day without using
respondents can’t go a day without using
respondents can’t go a day without using Wi-Fi ok so we had a survey here in this
Wi-Fi ok so we had a survey here in this
Wi-Fi ok so we had a survey here in this room informal survey everybody used it
room informal survey everybody used it
room informal survey everybody used it today 60 percent of people can’t go a
today 60 percent of people can’t go a
today 60 percent of people can’t go a day without again I don’t know who comes
day without again I don’t know who comes
day without again I don’t know who comes up with these wacky things but
up with these wacky things but
up with these wacky things but somebody did second
somebody did second
somebody did second 39 percent of respondents would give up
39 percent of respondents would give up
39 percent of respondents would give up coffee in exchange for Wi-Fi
coffee in exchange for Wi-Fi
coffee in exchange for Wi-Fi I am definitely in the 61% okay I
I am definitely in the 61% okay I
I am definitely in the 61% okay I actually started today I think the last
actually started today I think the last
actually started today I think the last speaker mentioned that he started today
speaker mentioned that he started today
speaker mentioned that he started today in Atlanta I started the day in
in Atlanta I started the day in
in Atlanta I started the day in Bangalore India
Bangalore India
Bangalore India okay that’s a long way away if it wasn’t
okay that’s a long way away if it wasn’t
okay that’s a long way away if it wasn’t for coffee I wouldn’t be here right now
for coffee I wouldn’t be here right now
for coffee I wouldn’t be here right now so I can say definitely in the 61% and
so I can say definitely in the 61% and
so I can say definitely in the 61% and then finally I guess this is kind of
then finally I guess this is kind of
then finally I guess this is kind of passe now 50% of respondents would not
passe now 50% of respondents would not
passe now 50% of respondents would not would exchange Facebook for Wi-Fi I
would exchange Facebook for Wi-Fi I
would exchange Facebook for Wi-Fi I guess New Deal is snapchat things like

quickly in 1997 this first standard was
quickly in 1997 this first standard was capable of delivering 2 megabits per
capable of delivering 2 megabits per
capable of delivering 2 megabits per second and then in 1999 a new standard
second and then in 1999 a new standard
second and then in 1999 a new standard came after that that was capable of
came after that that was capable of
came after that that was capable of delivering 11 megabits per second and
delivering 11 megabits per second and
delivering 11 megabits per second and then another standard on top of that
then another standard on top of that
then another standard on top of that something called 802 11 G came to pass
something called 802 11 G came to pass
something called 802 11 G came to pass that was capable of delivering 54
that was capable of delivering 54
that was capable of delivering 54 megabits per second and then finally
megabits per second and then finally
megabits per second and then finally another standard 802 11 n capable of 450
another standard 802 11 n capable of 450
another standard 802 11 n capable of 450 megabits per second and finally where we
megabits per second and finally where we
megabits per second and finally where we are today the fifth generation of Wi-Fi

emerging standard is going to help us
emerging standard is going to help us all move faster and be able to operate
all move faster and be able to operate
all move faster and be able to operate in these very very congested
in these very very congested
in these very very congested environments and this should start

shipping sometime at the end of 2017 or
shipping sometime at the end of 2017 or 2018 is when we’ll start seeing the
2018 is when we’ll start seeing the
2018 is when we’ll start seeing the first products come online but then
first products come online but then
first products come online but then what’s after that
what’s after that
what’s after that okay what’s coming after this twenty
okay what’s coming after this twenty
okay what’s coming after this twenty seven twenty eight eighteen we will
seven twenty eight eighteen we will
seven twenty eight eighteen we will already have products that are in
already have products that are in
already have products that are in development the first initiative that
development the first initiative that
development the first initiative that we’re working on is really how to make
we’re working on is really how to make
we’re working on is really how to make this easier it’s kind of difficult still
this easier it’s kind of difficult still
this easier it’s kind of difficult still you have passwords you have to type in
you have passwords you have to type in
you have passwords you have to type in there’s all these security concerns that
there’s all these security concerns that
there’s all these security concerns that we talked about earlier we have to make
we talked about earlier we have to make
we talked about earlier we have to make the technology far easier and there’s a
the technology far easier and there’s a
the technology far easier and there’s a lot of work going on to do that secondly
lot of work going on to do that secondly
lot of work going on to do that secondly is a frequency of operation we talked a
is a frequency of operation we talked a
is a frequency of operation we talked a minute ago about the FCC opening up
minute ago about the FCC opening up
minute ago about the FCC opening up these unlicensed bands those what bands
these unlicensed bands those what bands
these unlicensed bands those what bands are in the two gigahertz or five
are in the two gigahertz or five
are in the two gigahertz or five gigahertz spectrum newer technologies
gigahertz spectrum newer technologies
gigahertz spectrum newer technologies are coming online that will use
are coming online that will use
are coming online that will use something in the 60 gigahertz frequency
something in the 60 gigahertz frequency
something in the 60 gigahertz frequency very
very
very very high frequency what that enables is
very high frequency what that enables is
very high frequency what that enables is super high capacity in 60 gigahertz in
super high capacity in 60 gigahertz in
super high capacity in 60 gigahertz in millimeter wave radio you can be
millimeter wave radio you can be
millimeter wave radio you can be operating at speeds of 10 20 gigabits
operating at speeds of 10 20 gigabits
operating at speeds of 10 20 gigabits and that becomes important for
and that becomes important for
and that becomes important for applications like virtual reality I was
applications like virtual reality I was
applications like virtual reality I was just at the CES show in Las Vegas a
just at the CES show in Las Vegas a
just at the CES show in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and almost everybody
couple of weeks ago and almost everybody
couple of weeks ago and almost everybody was talking about virtual reality but
was talking about virtual reality but
was talking about virtual reality but almost everybody was using a wire to
almost everybody was using a wire to
almost everybody was using a wire to connect to these goggles right and
connect to these goggles right and
connect to these goggles right and people are tripping and falling all over
people are tripping and falling all over
people are tripping and falling all over the place and if you can get this to
the place and if you can get this to
the place and if you can get this to work with a wireless technology that
work with a wireless technology that
work with a wireless technology that will really enable VR and AR to take off
will really enable VR and AR to take off
will really enable VR and AR to take off and this is what has to happen in order
and this is what has to happen in order
and this is what has to happen in order to do that we have to move frequency
to do that we have to move frequency
to do that we have to move frequency bands okay
bands okay
bands okay of course range and again I’m sure many
of course range and again I’m sure many
of course range and again I’m sure many of you have had the experience in your
of you have had the experience in your
of you have had the experience in your home where there are these dead spots
home where there are these dead spots
home where there are these dead spots when you’re trying to connect to Wi-Fi
when you’re trying to connect to Wi-Fi
when you’re trying to connect to Wi-Fi aw it doesn’t work in my room oh it
aw it doesn’t work in my room oh it
aw it doesn’t work in my room oh it doesn’t work in the den it doesn’t work
doesn’t work in the den it doesn’t work
doesn’t work in the den it doesn’t work in the office this is a problem and so
in the office this is a problem and so
in the office this is a problem and so rather than having lots of different
rather than having lots of different
rather than having lots of different repeaters or mesh there’s a bunch of
repeaters or mesh there’s a bunch of
repeaters or mesh there’s a bunch of different technical solutions that are
different technical solutions that are
different technical solutions that are coming online that will enable one
coming online that will enable one
coming online that will enable one router to connect to all corners of a
router to connect to all corners of a
router to connect to all corners of a home so you don’t have to buy 10 and 20
home so you don’t have to buy 10 and 20
home so you don’t have to buy 10 and 20 different products and then finally more
different products and then finally more
different products and then finally more speed of course it wouldn’t be a
speed of course it wouldn’t be a
speed of course it wouldn’t be a technology if we weren’t pushing the
technology if we weren’t pushing the
technology if we weren’t pushing the speed envelope we’re pushing that today
speed envelope we’re pushing that today
speed envelope we’re pushing that today we’re at gigabits we’re talking about
we’re at gigabits we’re talking about
we’re at gigabits we’re talking about now going to 10 and 20 gigabits per
now going to 10 and 20 gigabits per
now going to 10 and 20 gigabits per second so this Wi-Fi again it’s very
second so this Wi-Fi again it’s very
second so this Wi-Fi again it’s very very instructive it’s one of these
very instructive it’s one of these
very instructive it’s one of these technologies that is moving on a
technologies that is moving on a
technologies that is moving on a technical axis moving on a product axis
technical axis moving on a product axis
technical axis moving on a product axis something that we all use something that
something that we all use something that
something that we all use something that we’re all familiar with and again
we’re all familiar with and again
we’re all familiar with and again because I’ve been working on it for so
because I’ve been working on it for so
because I’ve been working on it for so long it’s something that I’m very
long it’s something that I’m very
long it’s something that I’m very excited about thank you all very much
