Workshop Background

The IWPC’s international membership recognizes the global nature of the wireless industry and has requested that we engage with our colleagues in China

Mobile Broadband has the promise of becoming a major source of revenue for the Wireless Service Providers.

There are many Mobile Broadband technology choices (WiMAX (802.16e), UMTS, WCDMA, HSDPA, TD-SCDMA, Proprietary) – each of which will be adopted by Service Providers, worldwide, based on their legacy systems and future requirements.

 Major OEM’s who are planning to provide these technologies cannot develop all of these technologies on their own.  To meet the needs of the many Service Providers, worldwide, a Global EcoSystem of Suppliers must be developed.

Workshop Goal

The Goal of this Workshop is to bring together North American, European and Asian leaders from Mobile Broadband wireless technology companies to identify Mobile Broadband opportunities and requirements and to form Partnerships and Relationships needed to create and enhance a  Global Wireless Industry Ecosystem.
