Overview:
The proliferation of wireless devices, from wifi to Bluetooth to cellular, continues to accelerate. And therefore, so do the challenges for EMC, and SAR in particular. Join this roundtable to hear latest solutions to the present day challenges and where the future lies.

Moderator:
Antonio Faraone
Antonio Faraone is the Chief EME (Electromagnetic Energy) Scientist at Motorola Solutions, formerly Motorola, where he also works in Antenna R&D within the CTO organization. His focus is on portable 2-way radios and other public-safety wireless devices as well base-station and smart-array antennas, while being deeply involved in product regulatory compliance with respect to exposure to Electromagnetic Energy (EME) and the relative international standards (IEEE 1528, IEC 62209, IEC 62232, IEC 62630, IEEE ICES). His contributions in both areas are documented by patents, articles, lead positions in standards. He is a Motorola Scientific Advisory Board Associates (SABA) member, Dan Noble Fellow, and Motorola Distinguished Innovator.
