Questions were raised over whether WiFi is safe with the introduction of LTE for unlicensed spectrum at the Cambridge Wireless (CW) Mobile Broadband SIG event, hosted by University College London at IDEALondon.

Will the IoT deliver new insight and value by accumulating more data from more things or will we struggle to make any sense of a growing mass of information from unrelated sources? This is one of the questions addressed by speakers from industry and academia at the ‘IoT – Internet of Things or Island of Things’ event hosted at techUk’s London meeting space yesterday, run by the Cambridge Wireless Connected Devices Special ...

The 6th Discovering Start-Ups Competition (DS15), jointly organised by Cambridge Wireless (CW) and SETsquared, has already seen tech start-up entries from across the UK and Europe from mobile apps and IoT to Big Data and software solutions for education and healthcare. Today is the last chance for early stage tech companies, digital entrepreneurs and SMEs to win the chance to pitch their business ideas to an expert panel of judges and VCs represe...

The 7th CW Future of Wireless International Conference will take place next year at the IET London: Savoy Place, following its £30m refurbishment. The event will run on 21st and 22nd June, to coincide with London Tech Week 2016.

Now in its 6th year, the Discovering Start-Ups Competition 2015, hosted and sponsored by Deloitte, the business advisory firm, on 21st October, is set to have another great line-up of cutting edge technology, new innovations and business models. Entries are rolling in from across the UK and Europe and from a range of industries including IoT, security, games, health, analytics and social media platforms.

“We can consider the problem of self-interference cancellation as solved,” said David Lister, Research Manager at Vodafone UK, speaking at CW Radio SIG meeting in Bristol on the 8th of July. “Now is the time to consider system requirements and assess the use cases. There are still major challenges to overcome when applying full duplex to systems with multiple base stations and terminals.”

It’s official, we don’t need 5G, or at least anytime soon and as narrowly defined. That’s according to delegates at the CW Future of Wireless International Conference, who took part in the closing Cambridge Debate focused on the question, ‘Do we need 5G?’

The first day of the Future of Wireless International Conference, which took place from 23rd to 24th June 2015 at the Emirates Stadium, London, provided an insight into the future of the smartphone with leading industry experts from Conran and Partners, MediaTek, BT, Accenture, CSR and Delta Wisdom.

After years of disruption caused by wireless technology, the industry now finds itself on the receiving end, according to Robert Driver, CEO of Cambridge Wireless. “It is important that the wireless industry learns from other disrupted industries,” says Driver, ahead of the CW Future of Wireless International Conference next week.

The notion of a transceiver that can transmit and receive at the same time and in the same frequency band has long been considered a pipe dream. Severe levels of self-interference during transmission make the signal-to-noise ratio too low for reliable full duplex communications. However, a Cambridge Wireless event taking place on 8th July in the University of Bristol’s School of Chemistry will showcase recent advances in analogue and digita...

This years CW Future of Wireless International conference, which takes place from 23rd to 24th June, will see industry experts taking a close look at 5G and asking what is it, do we need it and what is it good for. According to the latest Mobile Economy report from the GSMA, 4G is still a relatively nascent technology on a global scale, with just under 7% of total connections by the end of 2014.

The 6th annual Discovering Start-ups competition (DS15) has been launched by CW and SETsquared. The show will be inviting emerging UK and international early-stage technology companies and digital entrepreneurs to win the chance to pitch their technology and business ideas at the finals to be held at Deloitte’s London offices on 21st October 2015.

The disruption of outdated business models in the wireless industry will pave the way for growth, predicts serial entrepreneur and keynote speaker at the CW Future of Wireless International Conference, Dr David Cleevely, CBE, FREng, FIET and chair of Cambridge Wireless.

The UK is fast becoming the entrepreneurial hub of Europe, and Cambridge is one of the cities flying the flag. Research released last month from Barclays and Business Growth Fund showed a staggering 8.6% of 18 to 64 year-olds are involved in start-ups. Thanks to growth in crowdfunding, incubators and accelerators, it is easier than ever for start-ups to get off the ground.

While advances in wireless applications and technology have improved the customer experience for rail passengers and new back-office systems have enabled enhancements in traffic management and automated driver advisory services, there still remains an uphill struggle to upgrade often antiquated systems of many Train Operating Companies (TOCs).

Until manufacturers can put aside their own interests and start working towards a standardised OS for all devices, rather than simply those of their own creation, the IoT will remain out of reach, according to Nicolas Graube, fellow at CSR and one of the speakers at the Future of Wireless International Conference on 23rd and 24th June.

The inaugural Cambridge Wireless Engineering and Technology Conference (CWTEC) recently set out to look at whether the wireless industry needs to integrate or differentiate and concluded that it should do both. Leading industry experts explored the future of the UK’s telecommunications infrastructure, spanning mobile, satellite, TV, IoT and wearable technology, focusing on the impact on licensed and unlicensed spectrum and the design of nex...

The CW Future of Wireless International Conference (FWIC) will make its London debut on 23rd and 24th June, bringing together a host of experts to discuss the potentially turbulent future of the wireless industry. A key topic on the agenda for the conference is the increasing number of wireless companies finding additional value in transitioning from a product to a service focused business model.

The inaugural Cambridge Wireless Technology and Engineering Conference will bring together speakers to discuss the future of mobile, satellite, TV, IoT and wearable technologies and their impact on spectral value. Taking place on Tuesday 24th March, the one day event sponsored and hosted by PwC is set to debate the changes, challenges and opportunities within the wireless technology engineering sector.

The London CW inaugural Technology & Engineering Conference (CW TEC), which takes place on 24th March 2015, will bring together engineers, financial analysts and executives from the wireless industry to discuss the future of the UK’s telecomms infrastructure and its impact on the value of licensed and unlicensed spectrum from VHF to KA band and beyond. This will span mobile, satellite, TV, IoT and wearable technology.
