The London CW inaugural Technology & Engineering Conference (CW TEC), which takes place on 24^th 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.

Sponsored by PwC and hosted at its London riverside offices, this intensive one day event will feature world-class speakers from PwC, InterDigital Europe, Avanti, EE, Keysight Technologies, BSkyB, Radio Design, Anritsu, Qualcomm, IRT, BBC Research and Development, Interlligent UK, u-blox, CSR and Samsung. Topics will include ‘Terrestrial and satellite integration – a key part of the 4G to 5G transition?’; ‘WiFi and low earth orbit satellites; a microwave delivery revolution?’; ‘Terrestrial broadcasting and mobile broadband - the UHF story and beyond’ and ‘Machine to machine and wearable connectivity’.

In addition to the main sponsors, PwC, the inaugural CW TEC event is sponsored by InterDigital Europe, Microlease and Keysight Technologies, Anritsu and Interlligent. Organisers expect to see around 200 professionals from the wireless industry attending.

“The race to deliver high-speed broadband connectivity is on,” said Graham Peters, MD, Avanti Applied Technologies and conference speaker. "With major players such as Facebook and Google having realised that they must look to satellites and drones to deliver internet to the world's most digitally deprived, the focus on unfettered and secure connectivity has never been more timely. The CW conference positions itself at the very centre of this fascinating debate, offering an interdisciplinary and comprehensive analysis of the wireless technology and engineering sector currently driven innovation and reward.”
