Annual IWPC Member Survey

To maximize IWPC's value to YOU and YOUR ORGANIZATION, please complete our annual survey. Your input will directly impact the IWPC planning process in developing our 2021 program of Workshops and Services - Please also feel free to forward this link to persons in your organization whom you feel would provide valuable input.

IWPC Interactive Webinar Opportunities

During this challenging period of travel restrictions and other business disruptions, we wanted to make sure you were aware of a member service which can help try and keep you engaged with the global wireless community.

IWPC offers hosted interactive webinars which are available free of charge to members and can provide a platform to share information and help you gain feedback from the global IWPC community and beyond. These webinars can be conducted to be much more participatory and interactive than the typical marketing oriented webinars you get invited to in your email every day.

WEBINAR: SuperCell - A Wide Coverage & High Capacity Solution for Rural Areas

Facebook Connectivity (FBC) conducted a SuperCell field trial in collaboration with the US MNO C Spire in a densely forested part of rural Mississippi. A total of 36 LTE FDD and TDD sectors were transmitted from a 178m high tower.  SuperCell shown to provide a
5 – 6x coverage advantage over typical macrocells. Results and critical observations on SuperCell brownfield deployments will be shared.

WEBINAR: Bridging the Gap between Simulation and HIL with Open, Connected Test Platform

In testing ADAS and AV components, going from simulation to HIL testing, brings a variety of challenges around appropriate test coverage, fidelity of sensor models, injecting raw sensor data, streamlining workflows and bridging all through connected software. During this session we'll see practical examples of SIL and Sensor Fusion Test that demonstrate the integration of the V development flow.

WEBINAR: Evolved Antennas to Support 5G Mobile Devices

The advent of 5G has created the need for antenna solutions to evolve to help simplify RF complexity in mobile devices. Antenna tuning is crucial to solve the challenges that 5G brings to mobile devices with space constraints. Full screens, hardware needed for new features and the increasing number of cameras in mobile devices is further reducing available antenna space which leads to degraded antenna performance. The combination of aperture tuning and impedance tuning, using tuner switches and tunable capacitors, is being used to maximize antenna performance across new 5G bands and use case conditions to meet stringent performance requirements.
