In the keynote presentation, Motorola will discuss how WiMAX is uniquely positioned to deliver the market demand for broadband connectivity as either a complementary solution or primary access platform while accelerating the technology roadmap for 4G.
Motorola will discuss the global impact of WiMAX installations as operators of varying profiles and representing markets with diverse requirements benefit from the versatility of the WiMAX technology platform. We will understand how WiMAX delivers favorable economics to address the various markets - whether for delivering new connections to voice and date or to enhance advanced networks with mobile broadband - and how an entirely new pool of players are entering the field to challenge incumbents with greenfield WiMAX networks.
Innovative information and communications technologies are being used by governments around the world to deliver results, enhance delivery of services, reduce operating costs, improve employee productivity and strengthen relationships with constituents. For governments the opportunity to continue to gain value from innovative technologies has never been greater but so as the risk of falling behind. New innovations and technologies and technology-savvy citizens and customers will challenge all institutions including government to continually change and adapt. The impact of innovative technologies like broadband can already be seen in the area of economic development. As Governments around the world address the challenge of competing in the global marketplace there has been a shift from Traditional Economic Development which focused on growing the industrial base to Collaborative Economic Development which focuses on intellectual capital, research, technology and services. Many governments around the world have looked towards developing broadband strategies and deploying broadband technologies making sure the services they provide are readily available and their constituents have access to the tools they need to compete in the global market place. These new challenges and changes brought about by innovation and technology will force governments to move beyond traditional Government operations to a more Collaborative Government by innovating their business processes, organizational culture and information infrastructure.
