Serving Public Markets
10:30am - 11:30am	Analysts Forum: Prospects & Perspectives For Public Access Networks Starbucks' deal with (now defunct) MobileStar to "unwire" its coffee shops did more than any other event to bring WLANs into the public consciousness. Unfortunately, it also served as a classic example of what happens to ill-conceived business models. Can public access work? Industry analysts from three prestigious firms report their research. Anchor: Ken Figueredo, Principal Consultant, Analysys Consulting Panelists: Gemma Paolo, Analyst, Cahners InStat Adam Zawel, Director, Wireless/Mobile Enterprise & Commerce, The Yankee Group
11:30am - 12:30pm	Public Hotspots: Evolving A Viable Business Model Public hotspot providers definitely helped put WLANs on the map, with Wi-Fi service in hotels, airports and restaurants seeming to point to an entirely new dimension of business and leisure connectivity. How to build the networks, how to price the services and where to be located are among the still unresolved issues at the core of how to make money at this game. Leading providers will talk about what they've learned and where they're headed. Moderator: Max Smetannikov, Freelance Writer, ISP-Planet.com Panelists: Rick Ehrlinspiel, President, Surf and Sip Daniel Lowden, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Wayport Arturo Pereyra, Co-Founder and General Manager, WiFi Metro

2:00pm - 3:00pm	Generation 2 Business Models: Case Studies From Europe & North America Sweden has what amounts to a national system of publicly available 802.11 LAN nodes, populating travel centers (bus and train terminals, airports), hotels, business centers - even turnpike restaurants. It's the brainchild of telephone provider Telia. In North America, however, problems of scale make the challenge of building a national network far greater. Newcomer Boingo Wireless has an approach that shows promise: create a one-stop-shopping system that locates (via proprietary software) and ties together (through billing and authentication) networks owned and operated by third parties. Attendees will hear in-depth discussion of what works, what doesn't, and what challenges still face those who set out to offer ubiquitous public access. Moderator: Ken Figueredo, Principal Consultant, Analysys Consulting Panelists: Carlo Cassisa, Director, Business Development HomeRun, Telia Mobile AB Colby Goff, Director, Business Development, Boingo Wireless
3:00pm - 4:00pm	Mesh Networks: Changing the Public LAN Topology Mesh networks are a revolution that could change the way we approach 802.11 networking. Instead of relying on a client/server topology, mesh networks use the peer-to-peer model, using a mesh network to transmit data from one point to another. Under this model, the network can be as large as the number of users connected. Best of all, 802.11 mesh networks are already being used in the real world -- and our panelists will show how it's done and how it can be implemented in your enterprise setting. Moderator: Kevin Reichard, Executive Editor, INT Media Group, Inc. Panelists: Robert J. Berger, Founder & Chairman, UltraDevices, Inc. Gemma Paolo, Analyst, Cahners In-Stat Rick Rotondo, Director, Disruptive Technologies, MeshNetworks David Spector, President and Founder, DropZone Networks
4:00pm - 5:00pm	The Public-Access Food Chain: WISPs, Site Providers & Users How is public access working? This session brings together a leading Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), one of its leading customers (a hotel chain), and an end user (a corporate subscriber) and discusses the experience each has had in offering or using this service, as well as the impact that public Internet access has had from a business and/or bottom-line perspective. Moderator: Gemma Paolo, Analyst, Cahners InStat Panelists: Anurag Lal, Vice President, Business Development, iPass Inc. Daniel Lowden, VP of Marketing and Business Development, Wayport Leonard Vasquez, Regional Director of Information Systems, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Limited

Special Interest
10:30am - 11:30am	Carriers Get Into 802.11: Will They Catalyze Your Business Or Crush It? Until quite recently, the giant telcos did not seem to take notice of WLAN as a phenomenon or a business, concentrating instead on wireless phone service and wired broadband Internet. But there's little doubt that 802.11 is now part of their future business plans. How is the entry of carriers into this market likely to effect the industry Wireless expert Alan Reiter and a select panel explore possible scenarios. Moderator: Alan A. Reiter, President, Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing Panelists: Joe Korb, President, GoAmerica Communications Corp.

11:30am - 12:30pm	The Case For HomeRF: A Better Mousetrap? The race for dominance in the world of wireless networking seems to have been won by Wi-Fi - or has it? HomeRF, while lacking the market share of 802.11 technologies, has big name proponents like AT&T and Siemens. HomeRF 2.0's recent speed increase keeps it in line with 802.11b and the HomeRF 3.0 spec coming soon should increase throughput even more and maybe add a few other surprises. A group of HomeRF experts will share how the technology can work with 802.11 despite HomeRF's seeming also-ran status. Moderator: Eric Griffith, Managing Editor, 802.11 Planet and PracticallyNetworked.com Panelists: Wayne Caswell, Communications Chairman, HomeRF Working Group and HomeRF Marketing Manager, Siemens Information & Communications Mobile LLC James T. Geier, Principal Consultant, Wireless-Nets, Ltd. Ken Haase, Director of Product Marketing, Proxim & Current Chair, HomeRF Working Group

2:00pm - 3:00pm	Funding For 802.11: Appealing To Venture Capitalists Two years ago, funding technology startups was easy. But since the bursting of the techno-bubble, venture capital has been hard to come by. Is there money out there? Yes, and organizations looking to invest it in promising hardware and software ventures. Our panel of working VCs will bring attendees up to speed on the types, sizes and focuses of today's would-be investors and how to seek their backing. Moderator: Craig Mathias, Principal, Farpoint Group Panelists: Neeraj Bharadwaj, Principal, APAX Partners Darrell A. Williams , Chief Investment Officer, Telecommunications Development Fund
3:00pm - 4:00pm	Distributing Entertainment Media In The Home & Office How would you like a wireless VCR or DVR? The days of crawling behind the entertainment center to plug and replug multiple audio and video cables aren't over, but they may be in a few years. Wireless networking speeds, especially in current 802.11a products, are reaching the point where transfer and streaming of multimedia content without cabling will be a reality. Entertainment hubs/home media servers that use 802.11 are already being announced, making the network far less PC-centric than in the past. The approval by the FCC of ultrawideband (UWB), a more secure high-speed wireless transfer method than even 802.11a, may help push this trend even further. We'll discuss the promise and the pitfalls a wireless world of entertainment entails. Moderator: Eric Griffith, Managing Editor, 802.11 Planet and PracticallyNetworked.com Panelists: Don Apruzzese, Vice President of Broadband Market Development, Wireless Networking Division, Cirrus Logic Michael Greeson, Senior Analyst, Director of Broadband Research, Parks Associates James T. Reinhart P.E., Senior Vice-President of Product Development, ViXS Kit Yong, Vice President of Business Development, LinCom Wireless
4:00pm - 5:00pm	Supporting Multiple Wireless Platforms 802.11 is a reliable, versatile technology, but it doesn't do everything. Enterprises wishing to get the best of what wireless communications has to offer will likely end up supporting other technologies in addition to Wi-Fi. For example, while voice over WLAN is taking hold in the enterprise, cellular voice communications is much more ubiquitous. How to converge cell phone and WLAN? RadioFrame has a solution for in-building cellular voice and 802.11 WLAN that can support up to a million square feet of space. Need to combine the benefits of multimode 802.11(a/b/g) with those of Bluetooth, and perhaps GPRS? Parthus Technologies offers all these — and a good many more wireless communications capabilities— delivered as complete platforms or "intellectual property" solutions. Elliott Hoole, Director, Technology Development, RadioFrame Networks, Inc. David Moloney, Architect, Wireless Solutions, Parthus Technologies PLC
