Martin Cooper to Speak on the Successes, Failures and Untapped Potential of
Broadband Digital Transmissions
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- TechInsights
(http://www.techinsights.com/) today announced that Martin Cooper, inventor
of the mobile phone and co-founding executive chairman of ArrayComm, Inc.,
will deliver the keynote address for the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC)
Boston (http://www.embedded.com/boston), taking place October 26-30, 2008
at the Hynes Convention Center. Widely recognized as a pioneer in the
personal communications industry, Dr. Cooper will offer expert insight into
the reasons behind the stunted development of applications that utilize
broadband digital transmissions for alternative methods of communication.
The keynote will take place on Tuesday, October 28 at 8:00 a.m. EDT in the
general session room at ESC Boston.
Ever since the transition from analog to digital cellular began over 12
years ago, promises of revolutionary applications energized by broadband
digital transmission to the end-user have permeated the tech community.
However the vast majority of communications today remains voice; the only
widely adopted digital application to date has been short-message-services
or SMS. During his keynote address, titled "Whatever Happened to Personal
Broadband Wireless?", Dr. Cooper will explore why only a fraction of the
tens of thousands of applications available are utilized by consumers and
the reasons behind the apparent failure of wide-spread adoption.
"The world's first cell phone call that Dr. Cooper placed in 1973 to
his rival Joel Engell at Bell Labs marked the beginning of a fundamental
communications and technology market transformation," said Richard Nass,
editor in chief of Embedded Systems Design and editorial director of the
Embedded Systems Conferences. "Named one of Time Magazine's Best Inventors,
Dr. Cooper recognizes the potential revolution that's hinging on the
development of new embedded technologies and we're thrilled to have him be
a part of ESC Boston 2008."
Dr. Cooper's presentation will kick off ESC Boston, the fastest-growing
embedded systems event in the world. Over 3,600 attendees from 36 countries
are expected to attend the five-day event which is co-located with SD Best
Practices at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. This year, more than
150 exhibitors will showcase their innovative new products and services to
thousands of OEM representatives, industry analysts, and media.
Event sponsors include signature sponsor Windows Embedded and platinum
sponsor AMD Embedded Solutions.
