Our sixth episode covers the groundbreaking sensing capabilities that are becoming central to our communication networks. Nokia Bell Labs’ Head of Optical Systems and Device Research Tod Sizer joins Aron Heller to review various elements of this digital “sixth sense” that can pick up signals from our environment and offer spectacular insights. Together they discuss our path from our pioneering work on radar to sensors on fiber optic communication cables that can offer early warnings on earthquakes and 6G networks that will become a sensor and make cities smarter and safer.
