If you own the space, you can change everybody's lives. Now it’s space, as in outer space, that also has exploded in the aspect of wireless communications, both optical and RF.Įssentially, space belonged to our governments for a long time because it’s a very highly leveraged space. That is, to me, the tipping point, where the internet joined with wireless. That took it from broadcast mode, which is essentially managed, monitored communication, to everybody communicating with everybody else. So, the internet changed that to electronic domain, and the minute you have electronic communication, you can use all means possible: wireline, wireless, and so on. We would just put a stamp on the mail and send the messages back and forth.
See, RF plus internet is the revolution of our times, because we used to communicate with other individuals through documents and mail. During those times in the 1980s, the internet became accessible to everybody with email. I would draw the line on the day that I went to undergrad. Where did you think the tipping point occurred? Where would you draw the line in the history books, where RF became an infrastructure aspect of our society and not just a useful tool? Once upon a time, wireless tech was all broadcast. Now wireless is an integral infrastructure aspect of modern society, to the point where if it stopped working, humanity would collapse within like six minutes. Also discussed is how engineers in this space can integrate simulated testing into workflows to ensure robust prototypes before deploying. We recently sat down with Houman Zarrinkoub, Senior Wireless Product Manager at MathWorks, to talk about the intersection of wireless trends and satellite communications.
