The GSA Expo, now in its seventeenth year, is a key event bringing together leading companies throughout the supply-chain.  The 2010 conference program will focus on emerging opportunities in Global Mobile Data for the semiconductor industry, while providing valuable networking opportunities for suppliers to showcase their products and services with new and established supply-chain partners.   

INCREASED EXPOSURE AND ACCESS TO PROGRAM CONTENT ON SHOW FLOOR

True to its name, the 2010 conference is addressing emerging opportunities in mobile Internet devices for the semiconductor supply-chain including keynote addresses and panel presentations on:

• Consumer Connectivity Trends – The Battle to Meet Wireless Application Demands  
  Wireless is no longer just about cellular technology; capability is increasingly defined by the benefits brought with integration of multiple wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, FM radio and Near-field Communication (NFC). The advent of cost-effective wireless "combo" chips is broadly driving multiple wireless standards beyond smart phones into high-volume mobile handsets and other mobile Internet devices (MIDs) with a plethora of applications waiting to be discovered. At the heart of this demand is the consumer’s need to stay connected at all times. This connectivity trend has forced semiconductor companies to focus their creativity in developing innovative chips that will enable consumers to stream data content through their smart phones, e-readers, connected digital TVs, 3-D TVs, set-top boxes, game consoles and more. How do semiconductor companies address the challenges they face when trying to anticipate consumer connectivity trends and their demand for ever increasing wireless application capabilities? Join the keynote presentation and find out.
• The Bandwidth Phenomenon - Managing Data Traffic Flow for Today's Consumer
  Will there be sufficient network bandwidth to support the dramatic increase in mobile data usage? The ability of carriers to expand coverage and capacity with limited spectrum will be challenging in today's business environment. In addition to the on-going evolution of the cellular standards to higher data rates and efficiency, Wi-Fi will play an important role in helping to offload data traffic from overworked cellular networks. We will discuss the challenges, limitations and issues, as well as possible solutions such as combination wireless SOCs.
• Infrastructure Innovation - Can the Challenge be Met?
  The challenges operators and OEMs face are more than just a simple IC can resolve. Basestations are struggling to keep up with the demand in data traffic and are facing the need to upgrade their networks due to massive congestion in the backhaul. According to Barclays, backhaul utilization rates are running at much higher levels than the 30-40 percent in the overall wireless network. This presents an opportunity for semiconductor companies to develop technology that will enable this infrastructure support for operators. Additionally, chip companies must consider key architectural decisions that address power management, processing locations, faster processing speeds, smaller footprints and smaller geometries, etc. Will mobile Internet devices (MIDs) suppliers chase megahertz with ever more powerful (and power hungry) chipsets at the expense of battery life or can we count on sufficient mobile solutions, such as the Internet Cloud or 3D IC chips to take us to the next level of growth?
