Location: San Jose Convention Center. As in the past, WCA is co-locating this meeting at the Wireless Systems Design Conference and Expo 2003, with an exciting panel discussion. What's Hot (and What's Not) in Wireless VC Panel The February 2003 WCA meeting will feature, as it has in past years, a panel of wired-in investors discussing "What's Hot (and What's Not) in Wireless" on Wednesday February 26 (5:00 to 7:00 PM) at the Wireless Systems Design Conference and Expo 2003 held at the San Jose Convention Center. This newsworthy meeting will address trends in the wireless industry and identify the market segments that have the interest of the panelists (and those that do not). Start-ups and Fortune 500 companies would do well to take heed of the informed attitudes and expert opinions expressed by these influential speakers, chosen for their reputation as bell weathers in the wireless industry -- and attendees have been going home with some stock tips to boot!

Future WCA Events March 18th meeting, WCA has planned two presentations in the WiFi technology area: Vivato will describe their phased-array radio antennas to create highly directed, narrow beams of Wi-Fi transmissions. According to Vivato this technology enables outdoor switches to support outdoor Wi-Fi client devices up to seven kilometers away or indoor Wi-Fi clients within a two-kilometer radius from the switch. Symbol will describe their WLAN VoIP product that operates over 802.11. This WLAN technology, though widely available, was not designed to support wireless telephony. Symbol will explain how they are addressing this technical challenge. Plan to join us on March 18th for what promises to be two very interesting talks.
