DELIVERING VALUE TO THE ENTERPRISE ROOM 209
10:00am - 11:00am	Analyst Forum: Trends and Prognostications for Wireless LAN Where is 802.11 headed? Will it end up being a temporary solution, or is it now an essential technology in enterprise and consumer networking? And what are the next hot areas for 802.11? Our panel of analysts outline the areas where 802.11 is strong and where 802.11 is headed in the next six months, focusing on specific market segments Speakers: Dylan Brooks, Senior Analyst, Broadband & Wireless, Jupiter Research Michael Disabato, Analyst, Burton Group Chris Kozup, Senior Research Analyst, META Group, Inc.

11:00am - 11:30am	Morning Break
11:30am - 12:30pm	Leveraging an 802.11 Backbone: Manufacturing & Distribution As wireless LANs make their way onto factory floors, maintenance facilities, warehouses, and other industrial settings, they are quietly revolutionizing the way work gets done and bringing new levels of efficiency and cost effectiveness to business. Handheld devices of all kinds are capturing and moving data into every part of the workplace. Companion technologies such as barcoding and RF ID tagging — tied together by wireless networks — are helping keep track of the whereabouts and movement of valuable assets. Instant access to corporate data banks from just about anywhere in the physical plant is helping workers get their jobs done more quickly and more accurately. This session looks at some notable industrial installations and discusses the resulting bottom-line gains. Moderator: David Traub, Principal, Epiphany Ventures Speakers: Carol Schmitt, Vice President of Business Development, Bluesocket Lisa Schwartz, Director Technical Marketing, Wavelength Design Solutions, Avnet
12:30pm - 1:30pm	Lunch
1:30pm - 2:20pm	Afternoon Keynote Roadmap: The Route To Ubiquity Despite the incredible promise of Wi-Fi as a network access tool for everybody - and the remarkable explosion of enterprise deployments and commercial 802.11 hotspots that's already occurred - the technology still faces roadblocks on its path to ubiquity. Sky Dayton will talk about how we get from here to there as an industry; he will provide a model for competition and collaboration amongst the many companies and entrepreneurs crowding into what looks like the next gold rush. Sky Dayton, Founder and CEO, Boingo Wireless
2:30pm - 3:30pm	Leveraging an 802.11 Backbone: Healthcare The wave of the future in the multi-billion-dollar healthcare industry is radio waves — 802.11 wireless networks, to be specific. The 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is driving massive changes in communications and other operational systems in clinics, labs, and hospitals. Perhaps most important, as care facilities move to replace traditional paper records with Electronic Medical Records, doctors and nurses can now access those records instantaneously whenever and wherever they're needed. Mobile workers stay connected to the network as they move through their rounds, without having to log on and off of multiple computers. Improvements in billing, prescription ordering, and even telephony also flow from WLAN use in healthcare operations. Keeping track of vital and costly medical equipment is another important job 802.11 backbones handle, with some help from companion technologies like RF ID tags. In this session, equipment vendors, operations mangers, and consultants explore the state of the art. Anchor: Dylan Brooks, Senior Analyst, Broadband & Wireless, Jupiter Research Speaker: Shelly Julien, VP Marketing, NetMotion Wireless Brent Lang, VP Marketing, Vocera Communications
3:30pm - 4:00pm	Afternoon Break
4:00pm - 5:00pm	Leveraging an 802.11 Backbone: Education Educational institutions have always been on the forefront of computing technology, so it's not a surprise that colleges and universities are leading the way in 802.11 technologies -- and applying them on a large scale in the real world. Issues like large-scale wireless networking, security, roaming and distributed applications are already being addressed in the educational realm. In this session, both university administrators and vendors address the innovations in education that will soon make their way to the marketplace.
