All Wireless Segments Covered
This conference covers all major sectors of wireless, and will perhaps illuminate some new ones to you as well. Here’s a summary table of the major segments and some of the specific session topics.
Workshops For Greater Depth: The WSD Conference also features some full-day workshops (at extra cost) for those needing more knowledge about selected wireless topics. On Monday the 8th, you can attend "Risk Analysis and Reduction for Hardware/Software Systems Development." Also on Monday is "Basic Statistics and Sample Size Determination." On Tuesday, you can opt for "Introduction to Adaptive Computing." You get 0.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) of credit for each. If any of these workshops sounds like something you need, it’s best to register early because they fill up fast due to limited space.
Military Electronics Showcase: One section of the WSD Conference this year is the Military Electronics Showcase West. If your work involves any type of military electronics equipment design or testing, here are some sessions of possible interest;
- The Evolution of Design Decisions for Military and Commercial Applications
- Artificial Intelligence Aids Microwave Design for Wireless and Military Applications
- User Frequency Selectable Miniature Transmitter Module for Military Wireless Telemetry Applications
- The Design of a Single Card Telemetry Module for Smart Munitions Testing
The Industrial Wireless Applications Summit: Co-located with WSD this year is a complete showcase and program devoted to industrial wireless applications. Wireless is growing dramatically in most industrial plant, factory, and automation settings. Some hot topics include wireless industrial Ethernet, RFID, mesh networking, sensor networks, and the hot new ZigBee technology. This conference within a conference is bound to offer something of interest for any wireless aficionado.
The Expo: The exhibits are always a treat at any conference. It’s great to see so many companies in one place at one time. As of this writing, there are just over 100 exhibitors signed up for WSD. Factor in some time to see it all.
Decisions, Decisions
Like many conferences, this one gives you lots of choices. You’re sure to find something to take back and use the following week. Your big problem will be the frustration of what to leave out or what you don’t have time for. So decide to come for the whole show and plan, plan, plan.
