Carlos Rios, Founder and CEO, nextWLAN
Carlos Rios has been engineering wireless
communication since it was called digital
microwave radio in the late 1970s. As a radio
engineer Mr. Rios developed military digital
communications links, commercial satellite
data terminals, the earliest cable modems
and the first spread spectrum cordless telephone
chipsets all direct forebears of todays municipal
wireless technology.
More direct to the WiFi point, in 1998 Mr.
Rios established 3Coms Wireless LAN development
group and in 2001, as a long time industry
standards-body contributor, proposed what
ultimately became IEEE 802.11g.
In 2003 Mr. Rios founded nextWLAN Corporation
in the belief that groundbreaking WiFi product
design could very well survive the demise
of the US wireless networking giants, and
perhaps MicroNodes will prove him prescient.
