With the evolution in smart phones, advanced mobile devices and cloud computing, the cyber threat is quickly moving to the wireless world, threatening to compromise personal and corporate data and connectivity. The forum will address a broad array of wireless security topics, from devices to networks, to user and carrier data, to viruses and malware. A 360 degree view of wireless security issues will be addressed from both an industry and technical perspective.

This two-day event in Hong Kong will address a range of business and technology factors surrounding the continuing deployments of this next generation of mobile communications. It will consider the critical issues surrounding overall deployment strategies, initial rollout and coverage, core network evolution and radio network evolution, and backhaul requirements. The coexistence of LTE and WiMAX will also be explored.

Technologies from several industries have matured to the point where a true Smart City is now a realistic prospect. However, knitting IT, telecom, transportation and utility technologies together into a coherent system is incredibly complex. The promise is the more efficient transfer of information, people, goods, services and power - but is there a return on this investment? The ABI Forums Smart Cities event will call on leaders from all sectors to share their vision of how to develop the Smart City of tomorrow. Learn which technologies are ready, which require further development and how cities are already leveraging technology to improve security and governmental services. Register today to join the discussion in April.
