Workshop Background |
The IWPC has held 9 previous workshops on handsets, handset power management and packaging.
In our May 2004 Workshop, hosted by Microsoft, we learned how important power management is to future handsets.
During that May 2004 Workshop, Verizon Wireless presented the idea of Handset Autonomy - meaning, how long will a handset operate between having to re-charge the power source.
Shortly after that May 2004 Workshop, IWPC Members along with Verizon Wireless, other carriers and many others in the supply chain began to develop an industry-wide spreadsheet model to estimate Handset Autonomy. |
|
Workshop Goal |
The GOAL of this workshop is to bring the entire handset development supply chain together to explore the current and future state of the art of handset power management and further the development of the Handset Autonomy Model Project. |

Break into Working Groups
The attendees will break into small working groups based on their knowledge and expertise.
Each group will work together to develop a spreadsheet model which will be used in conjunction with all of the other spreadsheet models to develop the full Autonomy Model.
NOTE: We may have to reduce the number of working groups to have a workable session. |
|
3:15 pm |
Review of results of each group and discuss next steps Each Group Leader will review the results of their Autonomy Model Spreadsheet with the workshop attendees.
This is a chance for the entire group to ask questions and offer comments and insights into all of the spreadsheet models presented. |
