| | 10.10am | Wireless Printing
Today, 10 million business travelers worldwide make 44 million international trips every year. Accordingly, the volume of mobile voice and data communications has increased more than tenfold over the last five years, and there are few business people who could be effective without their mobile phones and laptops while traveling. This trend puts new challenges on company networks. According to IDC, the dominant networking technology in recent years has been T10/100 Ethernet, a reliable, fast and affordable fixed-line technology. The difficulties created by having to reconnect mobile devices such as laptops back into fixed networks have fuelled the rise of wireless technology for networking, leading to the introduction of wireless networking technology, using wireless standard 802.11. Our speaker will discuss HP's role in helping to develop wireless LAN printing technologies and mobility solutions that offer cost-saving opportunities and extra flexibility for your mobile workforce.
Mr Cheong Chee Keong, Business Unit Manager, Shared Printing & Imaging (Imaging & Printing Group), Hewlett-Packard Asia Pacific and Japan (Singapore)
| | 11.00am | A Nightclub in Your Pocket: The Future of Mobile Gaming and Entertainment
You pull up to the light and the car next to you is playing a song you wish you could hear from the beginning. So you pull out your PDA, type in the title or the artist's name, and about five seconds later you are enjoying that song. Your MP3 player can't do that today. Your satellite radio will never do it. But you can do it, today, in a 4G (wireless ad hoc peer-to-peer) network. In addition to music, this network architecture supports gambling, gaming, and real-time interactive gaming, all three of which are booming in Asia. This presentation will explore the architecture that makes these applications possible, but also the cultural issues specific to Asia that will lead to acceptance and growth. 4G Wireless will blend content and delivery and revolutionize both in Asia.

| | 2.40pm | Case Study: Delivering Value To The Enterprise

| | 5.00pm | Joint Closing Plenary: Involving All Speakers
A unique opportunity to discuss 802.11 issues, identify common challenges, exchange ideas and share suggestions in an informal, "after hours" atmosphere. The session is not intended for formal presentations or vendor product pitches, but rather as a forum for discussions of "unsolved problems" that may not have fit within the conference agenda. It will be moderated to keep discussions lively and informative.
