In his keynote presentation, Dr. Purdy will discuss trends in mobile imaging, and show why demand is growing so fast in wireless communications. He will cover the balancing of 4G with Wi-Fi technologies, and forecast the demand for wireless data communications coming from both user-generated content such as photos and videos transmitted from mobile devices, and rich media such as downloaded music and videos.
The presentation leads into a Mobile Imaging overview from 6Sight’s mobile imaging analyst Tony Henning, and panel discussions of the future of mobile imaging hardware and software.
Joining Purdy and Henning on the panels will be Jeffrey Cooper, Nokia; Marty Hollander, Vidyo; Margaret Belska, nvidia; and Steve Linke, Verizon Wireless, as well as speakers from other companies.
