DESCRIPTION

In its 15th year, ANDREW SEYBOLD WIRELESS UNIVERSITY explores complex issues facing wireless mobility by examining the elements – technologies, devices, applications and content.

Andrew Seybold, wireless pioneer, highly regarded wireless industry analyst and acknowledged expert at trend prediction, will lead this seminar in his straightforward, no holds-barred approach in plain language and an engaging style as he tells it like it is.

The day starts with a foundation in wireless and builds on that knowledge. Hear the latest about wireless technology and device developments, trends, how IP plays in wireless and the move toward convergence that will blur future boundaries.

Find out the latest about wireless networks and explore issues surrounding such topics as spectrum allocations, LTE, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, “free” access and what lies ahead.

Then explore wireless data as you look into the future of applications, content and technologies, focusing in on what will fuel demand for services that go well beyond voice. Learn about issues surrounding bandwidth, open access, location-based services and personal privacy, examine the impact Internet companies are having on wireless companies, changing business models, what makes a good mobile application, the two Internets, device OS wars, LBS integration and changing business models.

NOT-TO-MISS: The MobileApp Challenge provides a unique look into the future of blended services, data and applications. See how some of today’s most innovative thinkers are distancing themselves from the rest of the field as Finalists give quick demonstrations of their applications and the audience selects a winner based on innovation.
