| Track A: Reinventing Your Business through Mobility | Most businesses are now well into their second wave of major investment in wireless technologies and are planning to increase their spending in the one-to-three year horizon. This track offers a 360-degree view of mobility and how it fits in tactically and strategically to enable enterprises to avoid both over-investing — and thus squandering wireless project budgets — and under-investing — and thus missing tremendous emerging business opportunities in the enterprise and consumer markets. | A |
| Track B: Future Directions of Wireless Technology | Wireless technology is at the heart of a revolution in communications as well as distributed computing, and yet differs from server-centric or desktop computing in that while Moore’s Law still applies to memory and CPUs, it does not apply to network bandwidth or battery technology. Computing innovation struggles against the lack of core resources. Endpoints of all types, ranging from smartphones to kiosks to ruggedized handhelds to laptops, will continue to evolve rapidly during the next five years. These sessions take a comprehensive look at all levels and types of vendors of wireless technology. | B |
| Track C: Managing Mobility: The New Frontier of Security Challenges | As mobility permeates society, enterprises must remain vigilant in making sure that corporate policies, expenses and security practices stay up to date. Disasters and downtime result when “office-style thinking” is applied to mobile work management and security. These sessions look at every aspect of maintaining enterprise information security while keeping costs and risks in line with benefits — and, at the same time, planning for future investments. | C |
| Track D: Architecting Mobile Applications for the Enterprise | The wide range of applications that are either created specifically to take advantage of wireless or that are extended to cover wireless needs pose a significant challenge to enterprise and communications architects. This track will look at how context-driven architecture will build upon service-oriented architecture and how multichannel access gateways, unified communication platforms, NOCs and other wireless infrastructure will transform business applications during the next three to five years. | D |
