Inflection Points

A new generation of Wi-Fi connectivity is on the horizon. Allie Irvin and Brendan Bonner sit with David Coleman, Director of Wireless at Extreme Networks’ Office of the CTO. How will the way you access the internet change in this new generational shift and beyond?

6E and 6 ghz Wi-Fi is already available and accessible on the market, but what can we do to reach the 33 gb/s they have to offer? With 320 mhz channels available, when will we reach the point when it becomes commonly accessible?

Revisit topics we discussed earlier in this season of Inflection Points, like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), as well as digital twins, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and mobile data networks. All of them demand more and more of internet infrastructure, and these developments will push them to a greater level of viability. More demanding technology demands more power. What are internet providers doing to increase their energy efficiency as we push towards convergence?

Discover new processes like 4K-QAM, will come included in Wi-fi 7 technology. They will allow for seamless analogue and digital transfer data signal switching, improving efficiencies across Wi-fi spectra by as much as 20%. Thinking even further ahead to Wi-fi 8, how fast can Wi-fi become with Multi-Link Operations, which can transmit and receive signals simultaneously?

Inflection Points is a monthly tech podcast all about looking forward to future technology and imagining beyond the immediate horizon. Hosted by Allie Irvin and Brendan Bonner. Produced by Antonio Di Cicco. Inflection Points is brought to you by Extreme Networks’ Office of the CTO.

‘Measure twice, cut once’ is the old adage, but what if we could cut in a non-destructive way as many times as we want? Allie and Brendan chat with Amy Cameron, Research Director as STL Partners, to discuss digital doubles, real-time modeling, and predictive simulations.

Digital doubles are built for two-way realtime interactions, creating perfect copies and allowing for instantaneous rollout. The potential for this new technology is only limited by the amount of data streaming it demands.

Real-world use cases are discussed, like Vodaphone’s landscaping doubles, who simulate seasonal plant growth to support the construction of their 5G telecom network. The capability of digi-doubles goes further, enabling simulated customer behaviour, planning traffic management strategies across cities, and safely executing cyber attacks on your own systems.

Will digital twinning exist as an invisible safety net for system security, or evolve into something more visual with AR and VR technologies? How does the blockchain factor into this, and will the systems become interlinked in future?

Hosts Allie and Brendan sit with Dr. Peter Marshall, Strategic Marketing Director at Ericsson inc. to look forward at the future of connectivity and the backbone of digital infrastructure.

With the transition to 5G underway, 6G's capabilities are being imagined and experimented with. They imagine an Internet of Senses, up to 50 connected personal devices per person, and blurring the divide in the cyber physical continuum.

Not only that, but they look at what we can do to change our approach and understanding of technology, and how we can push the frontiers to get closer to the universal limitations of electronics.

Allie and Brendan discuss the hottest tech topic of 2023 with Carolina Bessega: One of World Summit A.I.'s top innovators of 2022 and Innovation Lead at Extreme's Office of the CTO.

Generative A.I. like Chat GPT, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion, are disrupting workplaces across the globe with their potential. We look at how they came about, how A.I. works, how it's being used, and how we see it integrating into our every day lives. It could change how we work, run businesses, plan healthcare, and approach academia.

Allie and Brendan chat with Justin Hurst, Asia-Pacific Head of Extreme's Office of the CTO. Together, they take a comprehensive look at the Edge, how to use it and where it lives. Listen to real-life anecdotes and use-cases of Edge users, and imagine the cities of tomorrow.

Join all new hosts Allie Irvin and Brendan Bonner of Extreme Networks as they join Thomas Brannen, Senior Analyst and Founder of OnConvergence, to discuss AR and VR technologies, what they demand, practical use cases, and what the future holds for these technologies.

Extreme Networks CTO Nabil Bukhari joins the final episode to talk about the evolution of network-based technology and how it affects the Infinite Enterprise, his own vision of the future. Hosts Carla Guzzetti and Tim Harrison wrap up Season II with a big-picture discussion of the future of networks. 

From recording our history with digital tech to overcoming the geek factor of VR, the Office of the CTO at Extreme Networks’ Marcus Burton and David Coleman appear on the podcast to help spell out the network-based ideas that work best. 

All those eye scans in the movies missed something: Biometrics needs to determine first “am I looking at a person” and then “is this the right person?” explains Alexey Khitrov, CEO of ID R&D. Listen in on his talk with hosts Carla Guzzetti and Tim Harrison on the network-based tech that needs you to work. 

No sector seems as nice of a fit as augmented reality and tech. Trying on clothes digitally is an idea whose time has come, explains Nisha Kesavan, CEO of Design Duality, who sits down with hosts Carla Guzzetti and Tim Harrison to explain how her new app allows people to do just that.
