## Summary

Joaquin Torrecilla, VP of software transformation at Keysight, discusses the evolution of wireless standards from early Bluetooth to 5G Advanced and the emerging 6G era. He details critical 5G capabilities including Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) with LEO satellites, Network Slicing, and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), while explaining how RedCap optimizes IoT connectivity. Torrecilla also highlights Keysight's shift from proprietary hardware to virtualized software stacks and the integration of AI-native architectures in next-generation networks.
