In recent years, we have seen a proliferation of a variety of wireless services and the emergence of a large number of disjoint wireless standards.
Different groups have different expectations from the wireless industry.
The wireless user expects seamless service, technology independence, customized services, ubiquitous connectivity, and an end to confusion and difficult choices. Providers are looking for state of the art capability, cost effectiveness, long-term availability, supportability, and maintainability, as well as the ability to provide value added services. Manufacturers are seeking to increase production volume, to lower cost, and to achieve higher quality. The research and development effort extends from antennas and integrated RF front-ends to baseband algorithms and user interfaces. Previously at TI, he worked on the integration of wireless data transceivers into notebook computers.
