The International Engineering Consortium (IEC) will present BBWF*Unwired (*Broadband World Forum) at CTIA Wireless this 31 March 31 – 2 April in Las Vegas and address network transformation to help service providers meet the challenge of delivering successful, revenue-generating, fixed-mobile broadband services and applications
“BBWF*Unwired is the *Broadband World Forum ‘unwired,’” commented IEC President John Janowiak. “It is not a wireless or wireline program, but an event focused on the convergence of both networks’ respective communities, companies, and experts to provide solutions for challenges associated with this inevitable transformation.”
BBWF*Unwired will discuss the migration of fixed and wireless carrier networks and offer solutions to create a common infrastructure to meet the expanding needs and preferences of end users throughout the world.
Robert Mesirow, vice president and show director for CTIA further commented, “The IEC produced a successful and well-received panel for International CTIA WIRELESS 2008, and we are delighted they have chosen to partner with us and expand our conference program to include the landline convergence space. Operators are looking for new ways to maximize their wireline business and capitalize on opportunities in wireless—and now, CTIA can offer them a comprehensive educational program led by experts in their field to navigate the challenges of convergence.”
Sessions will examine how service providers must now support a new communications and entertainment world governed by convergence at multiple levels – device, network, content and applications and end user. Preliminary conference tracks include:
- Broadband content, entertainment and applications
- Wireless broadband convergence
- Broadband networking technologies and architecture
- IPTV futures
CTIA VP and Show Director Robert Mesirow and IEC President John Janowiak sign a partnership agreement to produce the BBWF*Unwired educational conference during the International CTIA WIRELESS 2009 convention in Las Vegas.
The IEC is now accepting session proposals at http://www.iec.org/events/2009/iec_ctia/.
