Does your smartphone rely on Mobile Coverage or Wi-Fi for almost all of its data needs? Join me, Drew Lentz, the Wireless Nerd, on a journey through a week packed with family fun and cutting-edge tech insights. From DJing at a kids' party to crafting a homecoming float, my week was about more than just entertainment—it was also about bridging the gap between Wi-Fi and carrier networks with exciting innovations at SignalRoam. My visit to Corpus Christi wasn't just about work; it also brought a delightful culinary detour at a local Vietnamese eatery. Amid these adventures, I highlight the importance of early voting in Texas and the inspiring efforts of a local cybersecurity group in the Rio Grande Valley. Also, I talk about Wi-Fi! LOL.

As we look towards the future, AI is not just a buzzword; it's transforming programming and wireless networking as we know it. Wi-Fi 8 and private networks are leading to a new era of connectivity, potentially creating self-sustaining, efficient networks that will redefine our mobile infrastructure by 2030. The episode is a deep dive into how AI empowers professionals, paving the way for innovation through shared CBRS spectrum and revolutionizing our interaction with wireless systems.

From a significant rise in Wi-Fi data consumption to Google's bold move to retire its CBRS network planning tool, this episode is packed with insights and implications for major carriers and MVNOs. We also touch on the environmental concerns of LEO satellite launches and explore the intriguing possibilities of Li-Fi technology. Despite missing out on the recent WLPC event in Prague, I'm eagerly looking forward to the upcoming one in Phoenix. So, buckle up for a tech-filled adventure that navigates through the evolving landscape of communication networks, space technology challenges, and much more.
