As our need for mobile and wireless connectivity becomes more essential, the technology and testing around our phones are also developing at breakneck speed. Cameras get bigger and better screens, confirming our identity becomes more seamless, and how we can quickly collaborate matches our need for connectivity on the go. This week, host Derek Burrows talks with two experts about the testing behind innovation, who’s got a front-row seat watching the need for speed, and who’s in the race to get us our data as fast as possible. First, Jennifer Alvarez is the CEO of Aurora Insight, an IT company that uses its proprietary technology to measure the radio frequency spectrum, and Jeremy McKinney is an associate attorney with Dunlap Codding, a law firm that specializes in intellectual property. They talk about testing in a race of innovation, the future of acceleration, and how times have changed from our flip phones in the 90s.

- 5G is not just enhanced 4g. It’s going to enable brand new applications that we can only imagine. Jennifer breaks down the different “G’s” and how we can drive innovation to solve problems.
- Aurora is agnostic of the network operator and technology, making it easy to be independent and truly reflect what the network is doing.
- The more data your signal can carry, the harder it is to actually transmit.
- How do we connect machines and get rid of all those cables and instead, enable wireless connectivity that is super fast, low latency, very reliable, yet able to communicate high bandwidths of data?
- How do we even begin to test tech that has to go through a sea change every time a new iteration drops?
- A few of the pros and cons of technology where the speed of innovation is so important.
- With Aurora Insight’s technology, the real innovation is its ability to vacuum up all the spectrum, not just focusing on collecting cellular or LTE from a mobile network.
- As an associate attorney specializing in intellectual property, Jeremy is able to observe the speed of innovation firsthand.
- What is a standard essential patent?
- Aurora Insight’s approach has been to make the software do all the work, and have relatively generic hardware.
