Computer and Communications Leaders Offer Insight into Broadband Wireless-Enabled Applications and Software-Services at 'Broadband Computing: Beyond the LAN' Conference
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 1999--Shorecliff Communications, Inc. today announced that leaders from the computer, software and application services industries will meet with communications pioneers specializing in fixed broadband wireless technology platforms at the executive conference, "Broadband Computing: Beyond the LAN."
The event takes place September 9 & 10, 1999 at the Westin Hotel at the Santa Clara Convention Center, and is sponsored by InfoWorld magazine and the ASP Industry Consortium, and produced by Shorecliff Communications Inc., the leader in high-quality educational events for the emerging Broadband Wireless industry.
Speakers at the event include technology pundit Bob Metcalf, founder of 3Com Corp. and inventor of Ethernet; Chris Russell, President of Business OnLine for Oracle Corp., Navin Chaddha, Director of Commercial Network Solutions for Microsoft, Cameron Chell, CEO, FutureLink Distribution Corp, Bong Suh, Vice President, Beyond.com (and founder of Buydirect.com), Brian Andrews, CEO, Triton Network Systems, Frank Galuppo, Director of OpticAir at Lucent Technologies, and more.
Until recently, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable modems have been the pegged as the only viable access technologies favored to break the data bottleneck over the `last-mile' to the nation's small and mid-sized businesses.
"This conference focuses on an impending bandwidth revolution that is many times bigger and more exciting than the changes being created by cable modems and DSL," said Doug Lockie, Conference Chairman and founder of Endgate Corp., a Silicon Valley-based communications technology firm.
"Many computer and software companies don't know that they could have massive bandwidth connectivity from desktop to desktop - beyond the LAN. The fundamental changes in software distribution, application services and distributed computing - are accelerated by advancements in fixed wireless technology -- which provide 10-100 times the bandwidth as cable and DSL over the last-mile," Lockie said.
Industry estimates that the demand for more speed and capacity in Internet data traffic will increase by five times this year and four times next year. By 2002, the demand will have grown by nearly 200 times. A recent Allied Business Intelligence (ABI) report stated that the number of broadband wireless subscribers will reach more than 4 million by 2004. ABI reports that the future of Internet access is over fixed wireless platforms, including LMDS, MMDS, 38Ghz and other frequencies.
"Broadband Computing: Beyond the LAN" offers insights in to the fundamental shift in the computing experience with multi-megabit connectivity between desktops. More information is available on the web at:www.scievents.com.
