In this episode, Amresh Singh, Director of Business Partnerships for Samsung Electronics America, talks about the potential of mmWave technology to satisfy demand in North America, why 5G Open RAN products that provide data-driven, intelligent optimization of the RAN at the user level are important, and how their Mission-Critical-Push-to-X (MCPTX) products support public safety operations in Korea and in the United States.

This episode features a conversation with Dimitris Pados, Director of the Center for Connected Autonomy and AI at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) which, in partnership with PQ Secure Technologies, Florida International University, and Open Generation member Virginia Tech, is creating a universal radio adapter to enable a host of devices (IoT and other) to seamlessly connect and operate through both trusted and non-trusted 5G network infrastructure. Dimitris shares why this project is important, the driving force behind the research, and how the team plans to ensure point-to-point security of mission critical data as it traverses the 5G network.
