Guest Speaker: Dr. Kurtis Heimerl
In this talk, Heimerl will discuss his group's ongoing attempts to leverage advances in wide-area technology, specific open-source LTE and NR, to recreate distributed access networks and help small organizations provide connectivity to their communities while still achieving the at-scale efficiencies of modern MNOs. This journey starts with an MNO partnership for GSM networks in the rural Philippines and continues in our current work with local NGOs on urban NR infrastructure.
About the speaker: Heimerl is an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Washington working on Information and Communication Technology and International Development (ICTD), specifically universal Internet access.
