What:
Rob Behm, senior engineer for Wind River, will join other industry experts to discuss the various software and user interface (UI) issues that manufacturers of wireless devices often overlook but must address when creating successful, innovative Wi-Fi products. The panel will explore some of the basic dos and don'ts of user interfaces, common installation pitfalls and incompatibilities, and the essentials of connection management.

When:
Wednesday, December 3, 2003
2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. (PT)

Where:
San Jose McEnery Convention Center
San Jose, CA

Why:
Silicon is only half the equation in a successful Wi-Fi design. Too many of today's Wi-Fi products are difficult to install, configure and mange because of poorly-designed software. Mr. Behm and his fellow panelists will bring software to the forefront and outline how best to leverage software to help create and sustain competitive advantage.
