Keysight World: Innovate to Explore Rapidly Evolving Technologies Reshaping the Human Experience

  • Annual thought leadership conference explores the 5G / 6G metaverse, software-defined vehicles, non-terrestrial networks, and digital healthcare
  • Industry keynotes to be given by Keysight chief evangelist Jonathon Wright, leading intelligent vehicle researcher Dariu Gavrila, and satellite expert Todd Humphreys
  • Luminaries to speak include top 6G research leader Walid Saad, DARPA Urban Challenge winner Chris Gerdes, and neuroscientist Poppy Crum

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) is set to explore the rapidly evolving technologies that are reshaping the human experience at Keysight World: Innovate, the company’s annual vision conference for technology leaders, engineers, and innovators. Kicking off on June 20, the virtual event features industry leaders and futurists sharing actionable insights into 5G, 6G, software-defined vehicles (SDVs), non-terrestrial networks (NTN), and digital healthcare.

“Gordon Moore challenged us all with his prediction on the speed of innovation, and his prediction influenced a lot more than just transistor density,” said Jeff Harris, Vice President of Portfolio and Global Marketing at Keysight Technologies. “Higher levels of electronics integration gave rise to entirely new levels of data sharing in standards like 5G and 6G, networks of powerful integrated sensors capable of autonomous driving, the emergence of affordable space networks, and the convergence of digital health technologies. We see all these trends because our customers look to us to help them create development environments that push the boundaries in each of these industries. Keysight World: Innovate is our opportunity to share what’s possible in a few key markets in hopes of stimulating even more engineers and designers to pursue their development insights and disrupt us all.”

Each day of Keysight World: Innovate will center on a disruptive technology theme, featuring an opening keynote from an industry expert highlighting near-term trends, a moderated panel discussion covering industry challenges, a visionary keynote from an industry luminary, and demonstrations of relevant Keysight solutions. Sessions include:

Mapping Information Superhighways of the Metaverse with 5G / 6G

The foundation of the metaverse is connectivity. Multiple layers of 5G and eventually 6G connections must bridge connections seamlessly and co-exist peaceably for the metaverse to link everything. Devices from large to tiny will vie for connections and require continuous updating with those that require hyper-fast latencies. Attendees will gain insight into how the future of 5G and 6G will help map the information superhighways of the metaverse.

  • Opening keynote: Jonathon Wright, Software Test Team Chief Evangelist, Keysight Technologies
  • Vision keynote: Walid Saad, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech

Software-Defined Vehicles and the Sensor Fusion That Drives Them

SDVs are the next critical evolution in the automotive industry’s journey toward full vehicle autonomy. Sensor modeling and fusion are the only ways to deliver this evolution. But how does the SDV make sense of all the data and decide what is most important so that it can make accurate, near-instantaneous decisions on the road? Attendees will discover how much AI / machine learning processing is necessary for autonomous driving to work reliably without a network connection.

  • Opening keynote: Dariu Gavrila, Group Leader, Intelligent Vehicles, Delft University of Technology
  • Vision keynote: Chris Gerdes, Professor, Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University and Co-Director of the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS)

Emerging Tech: Exploring the Future of Space Networks and Digital Healthcare

Emerging technologies like NTNs and digital healthcare are reshaping our world in ways we can only begin to imagine. The move to NTN to augment terrestrial 5G networks creates possibilities for whole-world connectivity and new applications for space-based massive internet of things. Artificial intelligence-driven digital healthcare and devices promise to drastically improve disease prediction, diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. Speakers will address the technical hurdles that are standing in the way.

  • Opening keynote: Todd Humphreys, Ashley H. Priddy Centennial Professorship in Engineering, University of Texas at Austin
  • Vision keynote: Poppy Crum, Neuroscientist & Technologist and Chief Technology Officer at NextSense
