Broadband Wireless: Enriching Our Lives
Broadband wireless is enriching our lives! In the past few years, the expansion of 2.5G/3G cellular networks and the explosion of Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide have clearly ushered in a new era of broadband wireless communications. Never before had people experienced the convenience of high speed wireless connectivity at so many places. As more and more people got unwired, picture, music, video, and other data-intensive applications were delivered to millions of mobile user wirelessly and profoundly transformed the way of life and business.
The 2004 Silicon Valley-China Wireless Technology Association (SVCwireless) Annual Conference will take a closer look at this broadband wireless phenomenon and examine this undergoing transformation from the distinctive perspectives of a Venture Capital panel, a Business Executive panel, and a Technology panel. Come and join the Raffle to win a Treo 600, or a Blackberry or more prizes!
