Wireless Field Day #4
February 13-15, 2013
Sillicon Valley, California, USA
Wireless Field Day (WFD) focuses on wireless and mobility technologies, including Wi-Fi and mobile device management. WFD brings together the best independent thought leaders in wireless to discuss pressing issues and technology advancements with key companies in the space.
Wireless Field Day covers many diverse topics of interest to our delegates and their audience. In the past, companies have discussed the following areas:
■Wi-Fi access point technology and implementation
■Mobile device management, BYOD, and mobility issues
■Spectrum analysis and site surveying
■RFID and the “connected world
I was selected as a delegate and one of twelve independent thought leaders, in the wireless networking field, to attend vendor presentations and discussion sessions.
As a delegate, my responsibilities were to be open-minded, and ask specific and pointed questions in order to foster meaningful discussion both during and after each vendor session. These discussions helped provide meaningful feedback to vendors and also to share experience and knowledge with the broader wireless community.
