Collocated with TMC’s popular ITEXPO Conference, 4GWE runs October 4-6, 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles.

He has also held managerial positions at Ford Motor Company and Rothmans International, and he has lived and worked in North America, Europe and Africa.

“It took a lot of clever solutions to make computing ubiquitous, and today, we need new and innovative ideas to provide the scale that’s required to make wireless broadband a reality everywhere,” said Peter Allen. “My session at 4GWE will share a number of ideas to accomplish this, and we’ll also discuss the best ways to support service providers in a variety of geographies.”

Now in its fourth iteration, the expanded 4GWE explores the trends driving a shift towards an anywhere, anytime, broadband mobile network. The event focuses on the evolution to a 4G infrastructure and the mobile broadband applications that it will enable.
