This year’s ISE will very likely break another record in terms of visitors. This is
the last edition to be held in Amsterdam, and it is being held after the Chinese
New Year, so I expect an excellent turn out. Latest solutions, tons of panel
discussions, learning and networking opportunities have always made ISE a
great show to attend. This year there will undoubtedly be an extra vibe and
energy as we bid adieu to Amsterdam and Hola to Barcelona next year.
In this issue, we touch on the next-generation wireless standard Wi-Fi 6 as
well as reproduce Alibaba’s DAMO Academy’s top ten technology predictions
for 2020. Every new standard or technology does have an impact on the AV
industry, and we hope our coverage helps the industry understand how to meet
the challenges and opportunities.
