WIFI Expert

Working on IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth PAN, and now on WIFI 6

Dr. Edwin Hernandez has worked on WIFI and Wireless Networks since early 1998 when he began his research at the University of Florida at the Harris Mobile Computing Lab. 

His WIFI experience lead him  job at Microsoft and interning at the Wireless team as well before joining full-time, and later for about 7 years at Motorola Mobility. 

As part of his contributions to the Wireless Zero Configuration Service (WZCS) now deployed in millions of Windows-based devices, Dr. Hernandez contributed to Microsoft’s Intellectual Portfolio with several patents:
