MOVE Tech Talk – OCT 2024 – MOVE Networks – The Core of the MOVE Mission
MOVE Tech Talk – OCT 2024 – MOVE Networks – The Core of the MOVE Mission
Tim Troske will be our presenter. MOVE networks provide critical internet access to the Red Cross during disasters when all communications are inoperable. This tech talk will explore the operations, architecture, technical implementation, and recent improvements to MOVE data and voice networks. Tim Troske will provide an overview of the MOVE Truck networking equipment and configuration. This will include how LTE 5G and Starlink is used to provide internet access to the Red Cross, first responders and the public. It will also provide a high-level view of the logical VLAN configuration and how dedicated secure networks are provided to the Red Cross, first responders and MOVE.Co-sponsored by: IEEE-USA MOVE ProgramSpeaker(s): Tim TroskeVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/440370

IEEE-USA Livestream Webinar: Re-Entering the Workforce
IEEE-USA Livestream Webinar: Re-Entering the Workforce
This webinar is a collaboration between IEEE-USA Career & Member Services and IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE).Trying to re-enter the workforce after an extended absence presents challenges, and can be a daunting task. Changes have happened in the workplace and in technologies used. The atmosphere and expectations may have changed (for example, the impacts COVID had on remote work for many jobs!)You have changed… and self-doubt may have crept in after being away! However, preparing in advance is the key to easing the challenges.In this talk, you will hear about my own return to work after 12 years of minimal part-time employment in my field, and also information from my own research into what experts recommend. You will learn:- What is an extended absence (and the impact of how long “extended” is!)- Why it is important to prepare for returning- When to start preparing- How to prepare- Who to seek out for support / assistance- Where to look for opportunitiesSpeaker(s): Jill GostinAgenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.For information regarding upcoming webinars or to visit our vast webinar archive, please visit: (https://ieeeusa.org/careers/webinars/)(https://newsletter.smartbrief.com/rest/sign-up/2479DAB0-4089-43E7-925D-86AE0C1E6244?campaign=e0d52cef)Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/427453
