The speaker will be Patrick Calhoun, a co-founder and CTO of technology startup Airespace, which is a company that drove the evolution of enterprise Wi-Fi networks. His technical skills, experience working with standards bodies and entrepreneurial vision helped spawn many rapid advances in wireless in the past several years and improved functionality of Wi-Fi systems while reducing management cost and complexity. The efforts of Calhoun and his colleagues were so successful that industry leader Cisco Systems purchased the company in 2005.
Calhoun now has a larger role as CTO of Cisco’s Wireless Networks Business Unit, helping to guide the direction of one of the most significant technologies of the decade, driving adoption in new and larger markets. In addition to focusing on the technology, Calhoun will discuss how Airespace went from paper to a success story. He will also discuss his experience in standards bodies and the role of standards in the success of startup companies.
