Rene Douville, Technical Director, IWPC
Juha Jussila-Song, Senior Program Director
Workshop Background:
The IWPC has held 10 previous workshops on topics related to handset design, manufacturing, power management and supply chain relationships.
As we look into the future, the Carrier handset needs are ever more complex requiring deeper communications between the Carriers, OEMs and the entire handset supply chain.
While it may seem obvious that handset requirements range from the ultra-low cost to feature-rich there are MANY more business and technical variables to consider.
What are the balances and tradeoffs between costs, features, power management, innovation and market timing for future handsets, globally.

Workshop Goal:
The Goal of this workshop is to bring together the entire handset supply chain, including the Carriers, OEMs, ODMs/EMS’, sub-systems, components, materials, assembly and testing to have an open and frank dialog on the needs and the realities of meeting carrier needs.
The Carriers will outline their handset expectations for 2008-2010 and the suppliers will discuss how they propose to meet these needs.
The Carriers will get a clear understanding of what is possible.
And the Supply Chain will get a clearer understanding of which technologies need special development attention and should be considered for improvement.
