How does the VP of labs at a company that depends on the commercialisation of its R&D view the process of innovation, and how does that dovetail with introducing new technologies into operator networks?
Head of Labs at InterDigital Bob DiFazio says the company takes a near, mid and long term view of innovation – and gives examples of technology innovation the company is introducing into telco testbeds.
DiFazio says the company is bringing technology such mmWave backhaul with a software defined mesh implementation into operator test programmes, and highlights other new network technology innovations such as Information Centric Networking.
