Dine and Learn: CBRS Spectrum and Innovation
The Denver Section would like to invite you to join us for the latest presentation in our Dine and Learn series!
Come join your fellow IEEE members and local engineers for a fun filled evening of appetizers, networking, and dinner, while we discover exciting new innovations in technology. Once a month one of your local Denver IEEE Societies will host the event and bring in a unique speaker related to their field to present. This provides you, our members, with a unique opportunity to explore and learn about exciting new technologies being developed around you. Early on in the evening you’ll also have ample opportunity to mingle with your fellow engineers and colleagues delving into a broad range of technical expertise.
We will provide the appetizers, but dinner is at your own expense. Dinner for students is free.
If there is a specific speaker or topic you find interesting please let us know and we will try to accommodate it in the schedule.

Dine and Learn : CBRS Spectrum and Innovation
The often overused term "5G" can be likened to an over-sized "umbrella" used by the mobile wireless industry to market & sometimes obfuscate much of what the mobile industry is doing to develop "new" technology to expand its service capabilities--both in the USA & in many places around the world. One of these many "new" technologies coming from the big fixed & mobile wireless "convergence" underway, is called CBRS--or the Citizen's Broadband Radio Service. CBRS is viewed by some as the 1st "invest-able" fixed wireless technology that slowly but surely is being adopted & used for various tasks through-out the existing mobile wireless ecosystem. For this Dine and Learn, we will offer both a brief "post-mortum" of why things have taken so long for CBRS to come to market over the last 3+ years, and then an overview of the key innovations that are part of CBRS that will allow CBRS to become nothing less than an important "keystone" of the future of both mobile & fixed wireless alike.
Biography:
Our speaker, Dan Lubar, is a supporter of innovation, and is a cross-disciplinary electrical engineer w/about 30 years in "digital infrastructure experience" and is a subject matter expert in a "short list" of fast-moving innovation technologies like wireless (both fixed & mobile), the world's current electric utility transition (..and its changing business models & infrastructure needs), and last but not least the key "duo" of software innovation: distributed trust infrastructure (aka Blockchain), and AI--or "Big Data"-driven machine learning--which is just beginning to get to scale.
Dan's perspectives on technology policy issues are informed by his work in the institutional investment world, & also by his entrepreneurial ventures as well. Other specific areas of knowledge include the fast-moving software industry, wireless & energy-related Standards development, Equity-based financial markets, risk capital, social impact investment models, entrepreneurship, ICT infrastructure--and regulation of same-- in both the US and abroad.
Dan's also long time IEEE Standards Association member & IEEE 802 WG alumnus & also has been a volunteer & contributor to some of IEEE USA's Policy Committees--as well as a member of PES & ComSoc--and knows his way around Washington DC quite well.
