Spectrum & CC

Henry James Okay. Okay. And then one last question. I think -- or at least I've read or heard that you guys have at least a sort of display product for project and sense at the same time. I don't know if you can tell us anything about that.

Perry M. Mulligan - MicroVision, Inc. - CEO & Director

That is our interactive display, Henry.

So think of the scenario -- and when we talk about the I/O for AI, I'm not trying to be cute with acronyms. But if you think of being in the home environment and we talk about a suite of solutions,

think of our display engine embedded in your voice-only device. So that as you shave in the morning not only do you listen to the news, you see it displayed on the washroom wall, and that becomes a little bit more meaningful experience. 

As you walk down the hall towards the kitchen, our sensing device knows it's you that's walking down the hall. It adjusts the coffee and turns the lights on appropriately. 

And then an interactive display that's invisible, but when you call it up, it comes out as an Alexa-type device or something of that nature that allows you to interact with it because of the sensing capabilities, gesture recognition and then disappears when it's not required. 

So we really see this as sort of a suite of solution that helps AI platforms with their user interface.

FCC Approves 5G - Phones to get 5 times faster

Which will be really good for viewing video with your PicoP

“These are huge blocks of spectrum that will deliver amazing applications to Americans,” said Meredith Attwell Baker, president of CTIA, a trade group for wireless companies, including the top four U.S. carriers, AT&T, Verizon Communications, Sprint and Bellevue-based T-Mobile US. “This is a critical first step to ensure the U.S. is in a position to lead the world in 5G.”

All four top U.S. mobile carriers have announced plans to test 5G technology, with partners including Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics. Connections are projected to double by 2020 and reach 500 billion a decade later as more mobile devices, robots, light sensors and drones all become part of the so-called internet of things.

“We’re talking about superfast data rates, super-low latency: the kind of wireless anyone would want that’s only a dream today,” said Dean Brenner, senior vice president for government affairs at Qualcomm. The chipmaker joined with Intel, Verizon, Samsung, Nokia and Ericsson to ask the FCC to allow higher power for base stations than the agency initially proposed.
