Kat's rethinking San Diego, Ian's fallen hard for Vancouver, and they are not going to agree on Singapore chili crab. Then Ian shares a note on his phone that just says "encyclopedias...crazy," and yes, that's enough to start a whole conversation. Eventually they get to the topic they planned: what's changing on social media.

Reddit is trying to keep AI from eating its traffic, Instagram is testing longer videos, and people are apparently spending more time on LinkedIn (which, sure, we'll take it). Kat's feed has taken a dark turn, though...tune in to find out!

Episode 10 - Special Edition: Veterans Day by Cisco

Ian was out town, and asked for a quick update on Kat's Singapore trip. Kat sent a voice memo. This is that voice memo.

Inside: the results, the chaos, the McLaren of it all, and a few lessons for anyone who’s ever been told an event is “basically just a fancy dinner.”

Kat didn't want this to air, so tune in!

In the pluggable optics industry every next generation is led by countless presentations and proposals at standards bodies meetings along with lots of lab development and testing behind the scenes. Right now the industry has its sights set on 3.2 terabit transceivers with 400 Gb per electrical lane. All those meetings and all that testing are happening as we speak.

Today I am joined by John Calvin, Strategic Planner and Datacom Technology Lead at Keysight.

John has been bridging the measurement science gaps of emerging telecom and datacom development efforts for 20 years. He has chaired multiple physical layer interoperability working groups and is currently serving as a contributing member to IEEE 802.3, OIF-CEI, InfiniBand, and PCIe development efforts. John holds a BSEE from Washington State University, and his graduate level studies are in signal processing from Stanford University.

In Episode 69 we continue our conversation with John. We get into the measurement science and precision instruments needed to characterize signals at femtosecond timescales.

John has very generously made himself available for your follow-up questions. You can find him at IEEE 802.3 technical forums or you can email him at john.calvin@keysight.com.

In this episode, we interview Christos Hassis, wireless consulting engineer at Cisco Poland. He tells us about his Wi-Fi site survey engagements and in particular an engagement in a car factory where all the data looked good on the surface and previous engineer said there was no problem but the customer begged to differ. He developped a custom MCP server to discuss with his site survey results, find out the problem and explain the improvement plan to the customer.
