Brian K. Daly is an AT&T Fellow, Radio Club of America Fellow, and Assistant Vice President with 30+ years of experience translating technology trends into strategy and real-world impact. His work spans 5G/6G/Next G, where he helps define 6G vision and practical use cases—from Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) and ubiquitous coverage to UAS operations, including Part 108 implications and electronic conspicuity. He is focused on enabling deployable, secure, and economically sustainable networks at national scale—built on open, software-based architectures, supported by realistic spectrum policy, integrated satellite capabilities, and disciplined global standards leadership. A key theme of his work is converging operator-grade networks with hyperscaler-scale U.S. data center deployments to deliver resilient, cloud-native connectivity and services. Brian helps advance mission-critical public safety and national security capabilities, including Public Safety, Wireless Emergency Alerts, and earthquake early warning. A recognized telecommunications thought leader, he partners across industry, public sector, and defense stakeholders to identify disruptive innovations, shape standards, and advise senior leaders on technology implications over the next 5–10 years. Brian is deeply involved in global standards and industry alliances, serving on the ATIS Board and TOPS Council; is a member of the FCC Technological Advisory Council (co‑lead, 6G Working Group) and the FCC Communications Reliability, Security, and Interoperability Council (co‑lead, Potential Security & Reliability Risks in 6G Working Group); and co‑leads the National Spectrum Consortium 5G/Next G Working Group. He is also on the O‑RAN Alliance Executive Committee, co‑leads the O‑RAN Technical Steering Committee, and co‑leads the ATIS Next G Alliance Steering Group. Brian’s academic credentials include B.S.E. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University, an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification, and an FCC Extra Class amateur radio license, and is named on 180+ issued patents spanning telecommunications, public safety, and cybersecurity.
