Nikhil (Deshmukh), Tanzeb, Vrishti and I, visited NIC in the week of 7/31. The primary purpose of the trip was to kickoff RFmx WLAN/BT and to have Concept Proposal meeting for RFmx 5G. Glad to report that both were successful and these projects are now in Development and Planning phases respectively. We also met with a lot of senior people including Cate Presscot, Charles Schroeder and Jason White over long meetings where we apprised them of our activities. We also bumped into Scott Rust and Tony Vento. We had several meetings with our own management, with our marketing folks and attended RF H/w team's "state of the union meeting" by Kevin Schultz. Individually, we met with several S.Es and other key R&D folks across stripes. It has been humbling to note the high credibility we maintain across the org thanks to our execution focus. We should build further on this!
Last time the four of us visited Austin together was in Feb 2013. Nikhil was in the middle of a long trip to Austin/CA for 802.11ac and the rest of us were attending a workshop for RFmx (RFHA as it was called then, and the project was not even kicked-off). We have come a long way since then with 12th RFmx kick-off happening and several successful WLAN and BT toolkit releases. We had taken a group pic then and took one more now. I'd leave it to you figure out which was 2013 and which one is now (both shot in Towneplace, Austin, but from opposite sides).
