SUMMARY:Advanced Wireless Forum
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDate: November 13–14, 2025\nLocation: UCLA Meyer & Renee Luskin Conference Center\nRoom: Legacy Room (Second Floor)\n\nThe Advanced Wireless Institute brings together key stakeholders from across the wireless ecosystem to drive progress toward ubiquitous and affordable connectivity. As an initiative of the Marconi Society, the Institute serves as a neutral platform where wireless equipment vendors, service providers, researchers, policymakers, and regulators collaborate to address critical challenges in delivering seamless wireless communication services.\n\n\nAdvanced Wireless Forum Voices\n\n\n\n\n\nDennis Roberson\nChairman\nMarconi Society\n\n\n\nWilliam Webb\nModerator; CEO\nCommcisive\n\n\n\nUdayan Mukherjee\nSenior Fellow\nIntel\n\n\n\nAndrew Clegg\nCTO\nValo Analytica\n\n\n\nAndrea Goldsmith\nPresident\nStony Brook University\n\n\n\nDaniel Cooley\nCTO\nSilicon Labs\n\n\n\nAnton Monk\nSVP Strategy\nCohere Technologies\n\n\n\nEd Knapp\nCTO\nAmerican Tower\n\n\n\n\nPeter Vetter\nPresident\nNokia\n\n\n\n\n\nSheryl Genco\nVP Advanced Technology Group\nEricsson\n\n\n\nVicente San Miguel\n\nPartner\nOpen Vision Partners\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\nDownload the Agenda here ( http://marconisociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Advanced-Wireless-Institute-Forum-.docx.pdf ).\nWednesday, November 12\n17:30 – 19:00 | Welcome Reception\n\n \n\nDay 1: Thursday, November 13\n07:30 – 08:30 | Breakfast\nCentennial C/D (First Floor)\n\n \n08:45 – 09:00 | Welcome\nLegacy Room (Second Floor)\n\n \n09:00 – 10:30 | Panel: Perspectives on the Future of Wireless\nThe wireless communication infrastructure continues to evolve and incorporate new technologies toward the goal of ubiquitous connectivity. This panel of visionaries will share their perspectives on the future of wireless communications and set the stage for the discussions to follow.\n\nSpeakers\n-Jeffrey Andrews, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at Austin\n-Udayan Mukherjee, Senior Fellow, Intel\n-Guglielmo Noya, SVP – Head of Latin America, APWireless\n-Vinay Ravuri, CEO & Founder, EdgeQ\n-William Webb, CEO, Commcisive\n\n10:30 – 10:45 | Break\n \n10:45 – 12:00 | Panel: Future Wireless Architectures\nA variety of wireless technologies have been developed to provide connectivity in different settings, such as WiFi for indoor, cellular for outdoor, and satellite for remote locations. This panel will address the challenge of integrating an array of wireless technologies into heterogeneous network architecture capable of providing a seamless communications experience.\n\nSpeakers\n-Andrew Clegg, Chief Technology Officer, Valo Analytica\n-Matti Latva-aho, Professor of Wireless Communications, University of Oulu, Finland\n-Greg Pelton, CTO, Iridium\n-Vicente San Miguel, Partner, Open Vision Partners\n-Yago Tenorio, SVP & CTO, Verizon\n\n12:00 – 13:00 | Lunch and Executive Networking\n \n13:00 – 13:30 | Morning Session Readouts & Discussion\n \n13:30 – 14:45 | Panel: Power and Energy Consumption\nDespite plans to the contrary, power consumption for wireless communications keeps increasing. Solutions include classical approaches, such as better components and system design, or turning off network components when not needed. More radical approaches include moving traffic to WiFi, more extensive use of shared networks, and replacing rural base stations with high altitude platforms (HAP) and satellites. This panel will consider all of these approaches and debate the best way forward.\n\nSpeakers\n-Sheryl Genco, VP Advanced Technology Group, Ericsson (Moderator)\n-Ed Knapp, CTO, American Tower\n-Masoud Olfat, VP Technology & Ecosystem Development, Federated Wireless\n-John Smee, SVP Engineering, Global Head of Wireless Research, Qualcomm\n\n14:45 – 15:00 | Break\n \n15:00 – 16:15 | Panel Spectrum Issues\nThe evolution of wireless technology has expanded the range of usable frequencies and improved spectrum efficiency.
