Irwin holds the most patents by any pers on employed by AT&T. He is dedicated to government and public safety innov ations serving the fundamental needs of humans\, the earth\, and society\, sharing his knowledge with others and leading the next generations. His e nthusiam and commitment to mentoring and STEM is an inspiration to all. He is responsible for Advanced RF Research technologies on Department of Def ense 5G mobility projects\, AT&T network resilience\, research on new low- cost novel methods to help protect critical infrastructure against nuclear electromagnetic threats\, solar flares/geomagnetic threats\, network timi ng threats from GPS jamming and manipulation. Irwin is considered to be a great leader/teacher and 'walking textbook\,' a tremendous resource in so many areas\, to employees\, customers\, students\, teachers\, the communit y\, and to the field. Irwin spearheaded AT&T's first speech response/voice recognition system. He was responsible for the development of numerous ad vanced wireless technologies and services. He has made significant key fun damental contributions to Science and Technology in Digital Subscriber Lin e\, voice over DSL\, IP based cable telephony\, broadband wireless\, broad band over powerline\, microcells\, satellite\, fixed wireless\, high-defin ition Voice\, IP telephony\, and a vast array of emerging broadband infras tructure initiatives. Irwin's recent innovations\, AT&T's Project AirGig w hich is a Gigabit 2-way smart grid technology for power lines globally\, i s an easy to deploy as it leverages the existing power utility infrastruct ure addressing key challenges of the times.\n\nPeter Wolniansky is a Princ ipal Member of the Technical Staff with cutting-edge experience in Radio F requency (RF) engineering and 102 US Patents. He is a trailblazer in the w orld of modern communications having designed the hardware\, field tested and published results for the world’s first MIMO(Multiple-In Multiple-Ou t) radio systems while at Bell Laboratories\, then known as BLAST. MIMO is a fundamental processing technique of every modern radio\, cellular phone and military RF communication system enabling increased data throughput. MIMO revolutionized how the world connects. Peter's research and developme nt includes work on micro-surface wave propagation known as Project AirGig . He designed\, built and tested a low cost RFID tag for Rutgers WINLAB kn own as PIPSqueak\, an active asset management system with long range\, lon g life and low cost. He is skilled in RF experimentation\, antenna design\ , spectral analysis and RF circuitry and is a dedicated mentor and tutor\, with significant contributions to STEM and the community.\n\nAgenda: \nA Day at the Museum\, Lunch w Leaders & Luminaries\, Project Echo\, Telstar\ , CMB Big Bang 20 May 2025 Careers in Technology\n\nAT&T Labs\, 200 S Laur el Ave\, Middletown\, New Jersey\, United States\, 07748 LOCATION:AT&T Labs\, 200 S Laurel Ave\, Middletown\, New Jersey\, United St ates\, 07748 ORGANIZER:kit@ieee.org SEQUENCE:216 SUMMARY:Jersey Shore STEM Ecosystem Day at Museum Lunch w Leaders & Luminar ies Project Echo\, Telstar\, CMB Big Bang 20 May URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/483887 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/v tools_ui/media/display/29b50b92-0006-4eba-b9d5-fd166c4bf9a4" width="540" h eight="304"></p>\n<p>Jersey Shore STEM Ecosystem Pre-U Daytime Event begin ning at 10:00-10:30am\, with a Lunch with Leaders and Luminaries between 1 2:05 and 12:55pm\, then Celebration Ribbon Cutting between 1:00-1:45pm\, t hen Presentations by Experts on Project Echo\, Telstar\, and CMB between 1 :45-2:45pm then a 3:00-5:00pm afternoon Jersey Shore STEM Ecosystem Worksh op.
