Mark Houtz had the opportunity to attend the first Edge Field Day where he heard from Scale Computing, Avassa Systems, Mako Networks, Opengear, and more. One topic that stood out was the use of Intel NUCs in edge deployments. While Intel has decided to exit the PC business, other vendors like Simply NUC are stepping in to continue the NUC legacy. Read more about Mark’s experiences at Edge Field Day and thoughts about the demise of the NUC.

Why Wyebot? Why Do We Need Them?
Mark Houtz joined us in Silicon Valley for yet another Mobility Field Day this past October and enjoyed the presentation from Wyebot.

CBRS and Starlink, Private LTE in the Wild
Mark Houtz tuned into Mobility Field Day and saw his friends at Celona presenting on deploying a CBRS network. Houtz dives deep into the world of CBRS and Starlink, their symbiotic relationship, and their potential to change the game for on-the-go internet connectivity. Houtz jumped at the opportunity to test out Private LTE in the CBRS Bands with Starlink. If you’re looking to cover larger areas, and Starlink is your only option, Houtz recommends Starlink and CBRS together to expand network connection. For people with little to no access to internet, and who are unable to afford fiber networks, a CBRS Fixed Wireless setup could be an appropriate solution.
