Workshop Background
The FCC has recently ruled to require link licenses for usage of the 71-76 GHz and the 81-86 GHz bands for GigaBit wireless communications systems. Such systems as well as the unlicensed 60 GHz and Free Space Optics systems will permit very high datarate communications such as might be required for Internet and Intranet hub interconnectivity over campuses without the need for costly trenching to lay fiber.
A key impediment to large scale development and deployment of such systems is the high cost of MMICs and other semiconductor devices and packages for use in these bands. This in turn is a consequence of the relatively low volumes of semiconductor devices presently produced and demanded for applications at millimeterwave frequencies. As well, other technologies such as testing, design and assembly are not as mature as at lower frequencies.

Workshop Goal
The GOAL of this workshop is to bring together senior leaders from THE ENTIRE SUPPLY CHAIN to facilitate and stimulate breakthrough thinking on emerging technologies and manufacturing methods which, when coupled with market needs and timings, and an understanding of key system cost drivers, can substantially drive down the cost of the millimeterwave devices and equipment associated with these emerging "GigaBit Wireless" systems.
In short, the goal of this workshop is to create an open, interactive environment, where the entire supply chain can communicate, network, share technology requirements and capabilities, and achieve mutually desired goals.

Set Up Break Out Sessions Working Groups
Questions to be answered:
1. What are the gaps in: Technology ? Communication ?
2. What is needed from the supply chain to address these gaps ?
3. What can IWPC do to assist ? |
The group will interactively discuss and identify opportunities for future fruitful development. We will break into small working groups and allow members to interact with like and no-so-like minded professionals. The goal of this process is to clarify the needs and identify new opportunities for development. Each working group will identify a leader and at the end, the
leader will make a short presentation on the findings and conclusions
of their group. |

Each Working Group Leader will make a 10 minute presentation to summarize the Wish List Items and Conclusions of his/her working group.
Group will come together and have an interactive discussion to exchange and challenge ideas presented by working group leaders.
This process dramatically expands the thinking of the attendees. |
