In addition, he serves in several prominent roles in the industry, such as vice president of the WiMAX Forum, and he is a member of the WiMAX Forum Board of Directors.
Instrumental in growing WiMAX into a multi-billion dollar industry and having expanded the WiMAX Forum's global reach, Shakouri is considered to be the leading voice for the WiMAX industry.

He co-founded the wireless systems division, where he was responsible for the engineering team developing low-cost residential digital wireless systems for U.S. and Asian markets. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University on Subpicosecond GaAs Wafer Probe Systems.
"Having Dr. Shakouri, one of the leading authorities on worldwide wireless deployments, speak gives us the benefit of perspective at this year’s show," said Carl Ford, co–founder, 4G Wireless Evolution. "His leadership in the WiMAX Forum and his role at Alvarion gives us the advantage of understanding not just the market today, but how the future will blend all 4G wireless infrastructure to deliver our massively mobile future."
