We are glad to announce the Keynote speaker Bruce Tuch who will give a talk on
|
Wi-Fi to 4G: The business/technology success and failures leading to product acceptance. |
 |
Bruce Tuch is known as the “technical leader & innovator” of WaveLAN, the first high speed wireless Local Area Network Product introduced in 1991 and is one of the founders and contributor of the IEEE 802.11 standards group which is the engine of broadband Wi-Fi technology. He is an industry leader and trendsetter who helped shape the wireless industry direction.
Throughout Bruce’s carrier his main areas of focus have been in “leading new product creation” & development incorporating Advanced Systems Architecture; Radio R&D, Signal Processing, standardization activities and policy. Bruce has served various executive corporate functions, his last was with Motorola as Managing Director Motorola Ventures Europe, CTO Corporate Ventures & Sr. Director of Global Business Development. Previous roles with Agere Systems & Lucent Technologies have been CTO Wireless (Client Wi-Fi Division) focused on next generation technology & Director of Engineering responsible for the total Wireless LAN product line development and technology strategy with more than 25 years of industry experience in the Wireless LAN area.
He has a BSEE from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and an MSEE degree from the Eindhoven University of Technology. |

Abstract of Keynote Speech
There are many paths to choose in product development, especially those which require interoperability enabled by standardization. Looking back at these technical and business directions the “success factors” will be enlightened. The start of the Wi-Fi technology direction in 1990 was before the ubiquity of the notebook; nevertheless it became an important common feature and one of the stimulators of the total mobile data experience. Technology and business alignment between different proposals settled to what we know today in 802.11a, b, g and n versions. Later standards such as UWB have hit a “dead end” due to timing and strategic planning. While 3G had early promise and is an evolutionary step, the timing of the customer needs have led to WiMAX and LTE. Taking a tour of choices taken will give the audience a historical perspective that, as well as a fun glimpse from the past, it is hoped will also help give a light on the future. |
