WiMAX powered Mobile Internet Terminal (MIT) systems will have a very good future in emerging markets especially in governmental markets. In China, the eGOV information systems need more than 50 million MIT sets in next decade which account for US$80 Billion out of the total US$1.5 Trillion in eGOV budgets. These MITs wil be used for Customs, Airports, Traffic Depts, Transportation Depts and other special services. A detailed and expert-level technical discussion is needed for system architecture, product definition, industry alliance and team building in this WiMax-based MIT business.
A special technology discussion will be organized in upcoming 9th WWC-4G Mobile Summit in Fairmont Hotel San Jose, California this May 14-16. WiMAX Forum BoD Member and MWG Chair Dr. Mo Shakouri will give the keynote address at this event. Several special technology and business discussions of the below tracks will be organized in the upcoming 9th annual WWC-4G Mobile Summit in Fairmont Hotel San Jose, California this May 14-15.
Track 1: Innovations in 4G Mobile Smartphone Platforms
Openness and Simplicity (O&S) are the most important design factors for the Mobile Users. The openness is also required for the mobile Operating Systems (OS) and the Radio Transmission Technologies (RTTs). More and more chips have been developed for the openness in applications, baseband processing, radio transceiver and multimedia platform. Based on OECD report, the O&S is the key milestone for the 4G mobile communication era, and R&D on O&S is increasing rapidly across the global.
Track 2: Mobile Internet Terminal (MIT) Platform by WiMax, etc.
WiMax powered Mobile Internet Terminal (MIT) systems will have very good future in emerging markets especially in governmental markets.

Track 3: Seamless Mobility for Enterprise Service Delivery Platform
Constructing a truly service-oriented information delivery platform across different infrastructures with support of seamless mobility is a challenge to engineers and researchers. The future 4G networks will be converging different wireless access systems and mobile cellular networks, and the industry will be shifting from the traditional transmission-based radio systems to the service-oriented information delivery systems. The enterprise markets are leading this global movement for the open service architecture platform with next generation mobility technologies.
