Principal SA, Telco Customer Solutions Engineering
Awaiz Khan has spent 18 years at the intersection of wireless infrastructure and intelligent systems — from leading RAN system integration and interoperability validation across carrier ecosystems at Qualcomm and Ruckus Networks, to architecting production agentic AI deployments on 5G infrastructure at AWS. He holds 21 US patents and chaired WinnForum Working Group 4, helping author the first CBRS compliance standards.
At AWS, Awaiz has worked with Tier 1 telcos and digital infrastructure providers on some of the more demanding ends of the network transformation problem — architecting private 5G deployments using AWS Outposts, Wavelength, and Snow Family for distributed core and MEC deployments; designing cloud-native 5G network function lifecycle management using Amazon EKS and AWS Telco Network Builder; and most recently building autonomous network operations systems using Amazon Bedrock. His work includes published AWS architecture guidance on deployments with partners such as American Tower and Deloitte, and he led the architecture of a carrier-grade agentic AI system for 5G infrastructure demonstrated at Mobile World Congress in partnership with NEC and NTT DOCOMO.
Throughout his career at AWS, Qualcomm, and Ruckus, Awaiz has been a frequent industry speaker on topics spanning wireless standards, private networks, and AI at the edge — presenting at forums including AWS re:Invent, Mobile World Congress, and Enterprise 5G Live. He holds an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington and bachelor’s in electrical engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi.
