Adrian has agreed to give us a few licenses to go with the books. • If you currently have WE3 and you are selected we will send you the book, and pull a name from someone who enters but does not have the software, that way we can get this tool in the hands of a listener who hasn’t yet seen the beauty of WiFi Explorer Pro 3. • If you are curious about WE3 check out this awesome interview with Adrian Granados and Nigel Boden on Keith Parsons Heavy Wireless: Episode 45 for a deeper look at the tool. https://packetpushers.net/podcasts/heavy-wireless/hw045-a-comprehensive-guide-to-wi-fi-explorer-pro-3-features-insights-and-more/ Brief announcement: One of the things we love is sharing information that makes all of our lives easier. If you need to do multi-channel capture, the Oscium Nomad (Hamina’s WiFi measurement device) has been integrated with Airtool 2 to allow simultaneous capture of up to 4 separate channels. This works in 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz. Airtool also allows Zigbee and BLE capture with appropriate dongles.  https://twitter.com/adriangranados/status/1891628259202240810 https://www.intuitibits.com/products/airtool2/) Awesome to see vendors open tools to make our lives easier. Upcoming Events! • Wi-Co • Chapel Hill NC – 5/14 – Scott presenting “Fun with Spectrum Analysis! Interesting and crazy interferers I have recorded in the field!” • Nashville 5/29 – Jeremy possible presentation on CURWB • OT SCADA-Con presented by Automation Ladies (Scott give them a plug) • https://www.otscada.com/ • This is a young conference, but seems like there is lots of potential. • Last year they had 50 attendees, this year they are looking to double. I saw the lineup and it seems like there is a little something for everyone. • July 23-25th in Houston (Might be hot, so wear your cargo shorts) • Here are a few of the topics that they will have speakers present on: • PLCs and I/O, HMI, Machine Safety, Machine Vision, Robots, Cobots, DCS, OT Cybersecurity and many more.  • This just looked really cool and is probably a great way for the OT curious to get a broad feel for what we touch on in Operational Technology. It is probably an even better opportunity for the swiss army person to deepen their knowledge about some of the systems us wireless and networking folks get asked to get talking.  • Automation Ladies Podcast – https://www.automationladies.io/  Which makes it a perfect segway into our guests today. What is NearFi? • First, NearFi is NOT NFC or Near Field Communication which is used for things like phone to phone data communications or payment card chip reading • It is a contactless technology for real-time transmission of power and data across short distance...
