This event, being supported by policy makers of the Government of India, will deliver practical time-tested solutions to meet the key challenges facing operators. The summit will also provide the industry and its leaders with an excellent opportunity to learn from the experiences of operators who have deployed mobile broadband around the world. The WiMAX Forum encourages the financial, educational, e-governance, health, tourism and other communities to join these operators in drawing benefit from exploring the opportunities and challenges facing the Indian market.
"We continue to revere the ministry of communications, Government of India as a global visionary and leader, and this is evidenced by its recently announced policy for BWA last month," said Ron Resnick, president, WiMAX Forum. "As a direct result, India's major operators and top vendors have firmed up their mobile strategies for delivering wireless broadband services in India."
Most recent data from WiMAX Forum reveals there are more than 407 WiMAX network deployments in 133 countries that exist around the world today, and this number continues to rapidly increase. Toward this end, the WiMAX Forum will reveal new findings on consumer demands on mobile broadband services during the WiMAX Exposition. Additionally, speakers from the Indian and international community will share their own practical deployment case studies and data and examine network planning and optimisation opportunities of deploying Mobile WiMAX.
