Event/City	Presentation title
4GWorld (Yankee Group) September 2009 Chicago, IL	“Cable Operator Plans for Mobile Broadband and TV Everywhere” Panel discussion moderated by Berge Ayvazian
VON Conference & Expo September 2009 Miami, FL	4G Smackdown: The Future of WiMax & LTE Under a new CEO, Clearwire is facing financing hurdles and buildout delays in its quest to create a nationwide WiMAX network. The rival standard LTE, meanwhile, has the backing of major carriers but little prospect of widespread adoption before 2011. This session will answer the questions: Which standard will win out? Can they co-exist? And where should service providers line up?
BelAir Networks Webcast August 2009 [View Recording]	“When Wi-Fi Met Cellular -- In 3G Offload!” The symbiotic relationship between Wi-Fi and cellular technologies is breeding contentment for both mobile operators and their data-demanding customers, but it wasn't always thus. Join Martin Suter, BelAir Networks VP of Business Development to learn why, how, and where Wi-Fi and cellular technologies are getting together (in public and behind closed doors) and why the relationship is expected to last beyond 3G.
IWCE March 2009 Las Vegas, NV [Speaker Link]	“MeshNetworks 101” A couple of years ago the mesh buzzword came floating around, got its image dragged through the mud, and disappeared from the municipal markets … or did it? With mesh companies reporting record quarters, cities, counties and companies issuing RFPs and purchase orders, this technology is far from dead. This course will give you a basic understanding of the technology, its foundations, its uses and how (and why) it is perfectly suited for some major applications.
IWCE March 2009 Las Vegas, NV [Speaker Link]	“Private Broadband for Public Safety” Fundamental problems exist in using Wi-Fi as a mechanism for public safety for the masses. Private broadband networks serve to eliminate these issues, and provide a better platform for the types of technology needed by public safety organizations to better protect the general public.  Compare various technology options for broadband and review some case studies of public safety deployment of broadband networks.  In addition, learn how to leverage existing assets in creating a state-wide resilient interoperable public safety infrastructure.
IWCE March 2009 Las Vegas, NV [Speaker Link]	“4.9 GHz – When Does It Make Economic Sense?” Some public safety organizations may believe that to truly experience the benefits of 4.9 GHz broadband networks, the network has to be deployed over a large area. However, small deployments of broadband technology can provide immediate value and have long-term potential. Explore the benefits of smaller 4.9 GHz broadband networks; de-bunk the misconceptions and myths around 4.9 GHz and understand the long-term benefits of 4.9 GHz broadband networks.
BelAir Networks Webcast March 2009 [View Recording]	“Not "Just Browsing": Wi-Fi in the Retail Environment” From indoor malls to big box stores, Wi-Fi access is becoming the latest shopping convenience and a clear differentiator in the effort to attract recession-weary consumers. With a veritable explosion of mobile Wi-Fi enabled devices and shopper-friendly applications (think barcode scanners on Android OS smartphones – no more "Price check on Aisle 5!"), Wi-Fi access is not just about tweens Facebooking over Orange Mocha Frappuccinos (though that's still part of it). Wi-Fi access is also about thinking outside the big box, creating a 'virtual patio' of Wi-Fi coverage that beckons shoppers in with time-limited deals and location-based attractions – the shopper's own Wi-Fi enabled device becomes an enticing Point of Purchase display that targets them before they enter the store, and even if they weren't planning to come in. This webcast will discuss the latest drivers and trends in Retail-Fi from the perspective of Telecom and Cable Service Providers, Property Managers and the stores themselves. Join Martin Suter, VP, Business Development at BelAir Networks to learn what's in it for the consumer and why it should matter to everyone else, too.

BelAir Networks Webcast July 2008 [View Recording]	“Mobile Web 2.0: From Here to 4G” Wi-Fi, WiMAX, LTE… Wondering what wireless networks will look like in 5 years? Join Martin Suter, VP, Business Development, BelAir Networks, for a review of the current wireless landscape and networking challenges presented by today’s multi-mode devices and bandwidth-hungry applications and a fast forward preview of wireless network evolution. With 4G technology flaunting 100 Mbps data rates and macro-cell topologies giving way to micro-, pico and femto-cells, the future of broadband mobility is certainly bright (with a few cloudy periods). But how do you get there from here?
