Wire “Less”

A hightech wire “less” act is taking center stage in this issue of Broadband Library. Chris Bastian gets our special section started with an article on the history of “Wi-Fi and the Emergence of Wi-Fi 6.” In addition, you’ll gain insight from industry leaders including: Dr. Jennifer Andreoli-Fang, Charles Cheevers, Ronan McLaughlin, Rajat Ghai, and Erik Gronvall, on subjects ranging from “DOCSIS® and Mobile Convergence” to “Enabling the Next Wireless Generation.”

Inside story:

Resident author Stewart Schley’s “Inside Story” profiles a masterful piece on newly inducted Cable Hall of Fame member, Leslie Ellis, President, Ellis Edits. Leslie has been translating and clarifying complicated subjects and terms since the 1990s and has contributed greatly to the cable and telecommunications industry. I’ve enjoyed knowing, working with, and learning from Leslie — a gifted writer, and respected industry leader. Congratulations Leslie on your much-deserved recognition and latest accomplishment!
