In collaboration with the Linley Group, Michael Stanford writes “A Guide to Mobile Connectivity Chips,” which has gone through two annual revisions. The report covers a newly evolving type of chip for cell phones that combines multiple radios other than the core cellular baseband. These chips do Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM, GPS, NFC and other non-cellular wireless.
In his consulting practice, Michael works with manufacturers and large customers of telecommunications systems who want to take advantage of new applications based on these chips, such as Fixed-Mobile Convergence and High Definition Voice.
Michael has been an entrepreneur and strategist in Voice over IP for over a decade. He founded, ran, and successfully sold two software companies. The first (Lucid Corporation) developed software for hand-held computers; the second (Algo Communications) developed application software for telephony. Algo was ultimately acquired by Intel, where Michael ran a large multi-site engineering team that developed an IP PBX. In his six years at Intel Michael held various titles including Principal Engineer and the Director of VoIP Strategy for the Digital Enterprise Group. He is the primary inventor on 4 US Patents.
The October, 2006 issue of Internet Telephony Magazine recognized him as one of “The Top 100 Voices of IP Communications,” and the November 2006 issue of VoIP News named him one of “The 50 Most Influential People in VoIP.”
