The future of wireless communication lies in instant and secure access to
data--anytime and anywhere. A joint venture of Microsoft and Qualcomm,
Wireless Knowledge is focused on accelerating the adoption of wireless
communications by providing mobile professionals with secure access to key
corporate information from any mobile device, over any airlink, and from
anywhere they travel.
The company's Revolv service gives mobile professionals the ability to
remotely tap
into corporate proprietary data, including E-mail, contacts, calendars, news
and more. This data is typically maintained on company servers, requiring
third party access to data through the corporate firewall. The company is
facing a host of competitive services provided by companies such as AOL and
HotMail that allow sensitive corporate data to be moved off-site and
maintained on unsecure third party servers. Come and hear solutions to these
issues familiar to many high-tech companies:
How can Wireless Knowlege overcome IT objections and gain acceptance for its
technology?
How can they effectively position themselves to ensure that Revolv becomes
the predominant corporate choice?

*A note on our new fee schedule--the surrounding splendor, sheltered parking,
superb food and outstanding acoustics all come at a price. Our hosts have
chosen to raise theirs. This will add $10.00 to our ticket prices this
season, now $35 prepaid or $40 at the door, mitigated somewhat by the
opportunity for purchase in sets of 4 or more at $30.00/ticket. Ticket
revenues do not cover MIT Forum costs. The individuals and firms who sponsor
us subsidize our continuing growth and success and our practical contribution
to the local economy in a very meaningful way. Please visit our web site for
web links to learn more about them, and to view articles they'll be
contributing over the coming months. We're very grateful for their ongoing
support!
