Cees Links, the father of WiFi, personally answers questions about the many possibilities of wireless connections for the Internet of Things

Huaqiang Electronics Network, Cees Links

Cees Links: As the market matures, standards will tend to be simpler, and open standards will remain. If I were to judge, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee would remain. Although this judgment may be wrong, looking back at the standard dispute between IBM and Microsoft when Wi-Fi emerged, we will understand that the final result will give us the answer.

Cees Links: Stop arguing about wireless standards. The WiFi standards were not set in stone from the beginning. Even today, WiFi technology is still evolving. But this does not prevent so many people around the world from using products with WiFi technology. Engineers need to design good products, so they just need to choose the products they think are suitable from the existing products.

Cees Links: All private wireless technology standards (such as LORA and SIGFOX) will eventually have to exit the market due to the scale of market acceptance, but this does not mean that you cannot make money by adopting these private wireless standards. I believe that as long as a person is capable, he can make money with any wireless technology. Technical standards can be continuously innovated over time and with market changes, but the vision and ability to make money remain unchanged.

Cool use, Cees Links

Cees Links: All companies that meet the above standards will make the final choice for the market and customers. Qorvo's solution is small and beautiful, but it will never compromise on performance. Qorvo's advanced solutions are designed to help customers maximize Wi-Fi capacity and data rates while reducing costs using 802.11ax. For high-performance Wi-Fi equipment manufacturers, heat dissipation issues may require the addition of heat sinks and fans, causing serious design delays and increased costs. Our high-efficiency product portfolio reduces the need for thermal management, helping customers design smaller, more attractive products without built-in fans.

Cees Links: When 5G comes, NB-IoT and LoRa standards may disappear. But at the current stage, the biggest advantage of the privatization solution is to help developers quickly develop products and applications. As the market matures, more development standards will be introduced in the future to provide users with faster and better solutions.

Cees Links: For example, if you want to get better coverage, it is not about how loud you shout or how many people can hear you. What you should consider more is how good the receiving end is at hearing and whether it can receive data better. Different applications and customers have different design goals, and there may be different implementation methods. I think there are three most important considerations: one is output power; the second is receiving sensitivity; and the third is battery.
