Dear Fierce Reader, I'd like to invite you to join FierceWireless for an exclusive two-part breakfast series at CTIA 2013. On Tuesday, May 21, I will host an executive breakfast on Designing Tomorrow's Wireless Network: A Discussion with Top Technology Chiefs. My guests include Kris Rinne, Senior Vice President of Network Technologies at AT&T Labs; Vish Nandlall, CTO and Head of Marketing & Strategy at Ericsson North America; and other executives to be announced. This roundtable will bring together top technology chiefs for a wide-ranging discussion about the challenges and opportunities they face in running today's wireless networks. We will discuss LTE, HetNets, small cells, carrier aggregation, VoLTE, and more. I'll be asking tough questions including: Wi-Fi offloading: when is this necessary and how should it be managed? Service level agreements: are these a reality? LTE-Advanced and beyond – what is the next step in network evolution? The second part of the series, on Wednesday, May 22, will be hosted by Mike Dano, Executive Editor of FierceWireless. He will be joined by Jim Wales, Executive Director of Network & Technology at Verizon Wireless; Chris Penrose, SVP Emerging Devices Organization at AT&T; John Horn, President at RACO Wireless; and other industry leaders. During the Internet of Things: The Next Buzzword or the Future of Mobile? we will explore the idea that connecting commonplace objects like cars, appliances and even people to a network, will make our business and personal lives easier, safer and more efficient. Questions to be answered include: Where is the wireless network? Many expect the Internet of things to rely to a large extent on RFID, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, NFC and other local wireless technologies. How will cellular networks, including 4G LTE networks, play into the scene? What about security? With increased collection of personal data, what protective mechanisms should vendors put in place before problems arise? Where is the money? A wide range of companies are taking aim at this space, from wireless carriers to chipset vendors to systems integrators to M2M players. Who will profit most? Both events are part of the official CTIA 2013 program. You may add these events to any existing CTIA 2013 pass type through the CTIA Web site. Register for one event for $89, or add both and enjoy the discounted price of $160. Seating is limited for both events, so don't wait to register. Hope to see you at the show! Regards,
Sue Marek
