The 3G World Congress and Exhibition 2005, Asia's largest mobile technology exposition that began Wednesday in Hong Kong to promote the growth of third generation (3G) mobile telephony, concludes today.
Some 150 companies are showcasing the latest developments in 3G mobile technology, capable of transmitting voice, data and video to subscribers' mobile phones, in Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The tenth version of the mega event, aimed at exploring key emerging trends that will shape the future of 3G technology and wireless industry, expects to woo more than 8,000 international attendees who are set to forge valued partnerships with the exhibitors.
"The world congress has grown substantially to cater to a rapidly expanding and diverse mobility industry," said Daniel Kirwin, managing director of the 3G World Congress and Exhibition.
Speakers and panels are debating a range of business, technical, service and market issues: How will 3G and other emerging wireless technologies enable operators to expand their markets and offer services to new customer segments? What are the market impacts as 3G goes broadband? And how will enhanced mobility services transform the customer experience?
The opening plenary session in the congress drew leading names including Marc Rouanne, chief operating officer of Mobile Communications Group of Alcatel; Carl-Henric Svanberg, president and CEO of Ericsson; Adrian Nemcek, executive vice president of Motorola; Richard Lowe, president (Mobility and Converged Core Networks) of Nortel; Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, and Christoph Caselitz, president (Mobile Networks) of Siemens Communications.
