<p>Friday, May 2 was the 10<sup>th</sup> annual Long Island Systems, Applications and Technology Conference (LISAT), a regional IEEE event. InterDigital has been a longtime supporter of the LISAT Conference, and this year, six of our experts joined the conversation with their own presentations. Dr. Robert DiFazio, a Wireless Research Fellow at InterDigital, opened with a short introduction focused on a vision for the future, entitled, &ldquo;The Living Network &ndash; Moving Towards 5G Wireless.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In addition to Dr. DiFazio&rsquo;s discussion on 5G, five of InterDigital&rsquo;s engineers presented on a range of topics focused on the <a href="http://www.interdigital.com/beyondltea#.U2f13ChZuDA">future of wireless technology</a>. Jane Mack, Senior Staff Engineer, InterDigital Labs, discussed field trials for a <a href="http://www.interdigital.com/spectrum#.U2f1FihZuDA">Spectrum</a> Sharing prototype under development by InterDigital. Benoit Pelletier, Senior Staff Engineer, discussed device-to-device communications, and John Cartmell, Technical Staff Member, InterDigital Labs, spoke about a new technique enabling small cells to meet law enforcement requirements.
