Interview with Howard Huang


Hey this is Jackie again and on July 12, 2010 we went to interview Howard Huang. He is an electrical engineer for Bell Labs and he creates the info-structure for cell phone networks. We learned how a cell phone works. Some of the highlights of the interview was that we became aware of certain networks such as the mesh network. The mesh network is a network where cell phones can talk directly to one another, instead of going through the cell phone network tower. He used the example, lets say your in a cafeteria and you want to text all of your friends all at once directly then the mesh network will help you do that because all of the phones are in a way creating their own network separate from a t-mobile or sprint network.
