WirelessDeveloper '99 Conference Focuses On Software Developers and Their
Value Within the Wireless Industry
(Last updated 7:30 AM ET April 14)
EAST LANSING, Mich. (BUSINESS WIRE) - Zsigo Wireless Developer Services
presents the sixth annual WirelessDeveloper '99 conference May 5th-7th in
Monterey, California at the Monterey conference center. The show, formerly
named CelluCommEXPO, is the only conference in the wireless industry that is
committed to recruiting and fostering the talents of software developers.
This unique event provides a forum for service providers and manufacturers to
advertise their technologies and/or platforms to developers who are currently
creating innovative wireless applications or those who are interested in
working in the wireless space. "As the computer industry continues to spill
into the wireless marketplace, and more and more data in transported over
wireless frequencies, service providers and manufacturers will be forced to
develop new applications to meet the demands of their sophisticated customers
and differentiate themselves from their competitors," explains Konstantin
Zsigo, President of Zsigo Wireless.
"This demand for marketable end-user applications can only be met if wireless
industry leaders recognize the value of a developer channel within their
business model and can capitalize on its efficiency," says Zsigo.
The six companies sponsoring WirelessDeveloper '99 have already seen the
benefits of creating a developer channel and will utilize this year's
conference to strengthen their programs by presenting their platforms in 90
minute developer workshops to new and existing software developers. These
industry leaders include: Cellemetry LLC, Nextel Communications, RIM
(Research in Motion), ORBCOMM, Motorola, and the WAP Forum. Sponsoring
companies combined with technologies featured by other conference exhibitors
will allow attendees to investigate a variety of options for application
development.
WirelessDeveloper '99 is not only targeted to the software developer
audience, but to wireless professionals who would like to learn more about
the developer process or are interested in implementing a developer channel
within their company or division. The conference's Presidential Workshop on
May 5th will feature a series of presentations from twelve industry experts
who will address the need for developers within the wireless community and
offer advice on building a successful developer channel. Konny Zsigo,
President of Zsigo Wireless, will moderate discussion during the Presidential
Workshop and will share his own valuable insights on the benefits of
recruiting developers into the wireless industry.
With a legacy of education and relationship building, WirelessDeveloper '99
offers a perfect balance of meaningful content combined with three hours of
exhibition time on May 5th and 6th.
The show floor will feature wireless companies showcasing the latest in voice
and data technologies in the Cellular, PCS, Paging and Satellite segments. In
addition, the exhibit area will contain Developer's Row which is designed for
software developers to present their applications and products to attendees
and exhibitors alike. "The conference atmosphere encourages open discussion
amongst those present and often leads to lucrative partnering opportunities."
says Zsigo. "We want WirelessDeveloper '99 to be a place where carriers and
developers form strategic alliances. Developers create applications, and
carriers need applications to sell."
The Wireless Data Forum's Spring Member Meeting entitled "Wireless Meets the
Internet" will take place May 4th and 5th preceding the Wireless Developer
'99 conference at the Monterey conference center. Attendees can take
advantage of a special package for both events by registering on-line at

May promises to be a worthwhile trip for wireless industry professionals
looking to understand what's on the horizon for wireless voice and data
solutions!
