Ep # 38: The Complexities of Today’s Wireless Communications - with Rex Chen, LitePoint
01/27/23 • 30 min
Wireless communications are constantly growing in complexity with new protocols, new devices, and new spectrum options. Ensuring all possible combinations work dependably at their peak performance has always been critical for guaranteeing network readiness. But the era of Private 5G and industrial applications adds new dynamics to ensuring the safety and readiness of wireless networks. How can enterprise IT teams ensure that working next to a mobile robot in a factory is safe? How can we be sure that a drone carrying medical supplies will deliver them to the right place? Let’s find out.
Our guest for the podcast is Rex Chen, Director of Business Development and Product Management for LitePoint, a major wireless testing company. Prior to LitePoint, Rex earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science, worked with Qualcomm and Intel, and was a partner with several venture funds.
In our discussion, we will uncover a few things, such as:
The challenges of testing wireless networks in multiple environments
Some of the key differences between public and private wireless networks
How will new technologies like V2X and vehicle communications, ensure data reliability?
The proliferation of new wireless connectivity options and which ones should manufacturers of connected devices prioritize; and
How can enterprise CIOs ensure the safety and efficiency of private cellular networks
So, let us welcome Rex Chen.
