Workshop Background

The IWPC has held 7 previous workshops on handset packaging.

 

We have learned about design philosophies, manufacturing issues, integration options, materials issues, OEM/EMS/Supply Chain relationships and environmental design and manufacturing challenges.

 

Microsoft is playing a KEY global role in future handsets – known as Windows Mobile ™  SmartPhones.  Microsoft’s vision of "Windows ™ Everywhere" combined with their willingness to enable design and manufacturing companies, worldwide, to design and develop portable wireless devices which will operate with the Microsoft Windows Mobile ™ Operating Systems and Applications is changing this industry in significant ways.

 

The wireless industry supply chain must understand the Microsoft vision and make appropriate technical and investment decisions.

Workshop Goal

The GOAL of this workshop is to bring the entire portable wireless industry supply chain together with the Microsoft experts who are defining the future SmartPhone to explore the needs and available technologies to support current and future Portable Mobile Wireless requirements.

Set Up Break Out Sessions Working Groups

 

Questions to be answered:

 

1.      What are the gaps in:

Technologies?

Communication?

 

2.      What is needed from the supply chain to address these gaps?

3.      What can the IWPC do to assist?

 

The group will interactively discuss and identify opportunities for future fruitful development.

 

We will break into small working groups and allow members to interact with like and no-so-like minded professionals.

 

The goal of this process is to clarify the needs and identify new opportunities for development.

 

Each working group will identify a leader and at the end, the leader will make a short presentation on the findings and conclusions of their group.

1:15 PM

Breakout sessions

 

3:15 PM

Breakout session reports

Each Working Group Leader will make a 10 minute presentation to summarize the Wish List Items and Conclusions of his/her working group.

 

Group will come together and have an interactive discussion to exchange and challenge ideas presented by working group leaders.

 

This process dramatically expands the thinking of the attendees.
