CHANTRY NETWORKS’ CO-FOUNDER TO DISCUSS INDUSTRY REVOLUTION WITH
WIRELESS CONNECTIONS 2003 ATTENDEES
“The agenda at Wireless Connections 2003 reflects the most timely and
challenging issues in today's wireless Web and mobile Internet markets,” said
Barb Richardson, chair of Wireless Connections 2003. “Brian Collie’s unique perspective and industry expertise makes
him a valuable contributor to the event and one of the key senior level
speakers attendees are coming to see.”
The “Data in the Air” panel at the Wireless Connections 2003 event is
part of the Technology Trends and innovations Track and will occur on Thursday,
May 29, 2003.
“Global competition and a difficult economic environment are driving a
tsunami of interest in broadband wireless,” said Collie. “Wireless vendors are producing a wealth of
product options. IT professionals need
to understand the importance of mobility and roaming to their organization’s
success, what their technology options are and how they can move forward with
those options.”
As one of Chantry’s co-founders, Collie draws upon his more than twenty
years in the telecommunications and networking industry to oversee the
company’s engineering and manufacturing operations center in Toronto. Prior to
founding Chantry, Collie held management roles at Nortel Networks’ Wireless LAN
& PAN Division and Nortel’s Internet Solutions Division. Collie was a senior member of Bay Networks’
merger and acquisition team, and he has held senior positions with Motorola’s
Internet and Data Networking Group and Bell Canada’s Computer Communication
Group (CCG).
Wireless Connections 2003 is a two-day gathering of key representatives
from the global wireless industry. Taking place in Calgary, Alberta - itself a
hub of industry activity - in May 2003, Wireless Connections 2003 follows a
successful premier event in 2001 to provide a forum for discussion of wireless
trends and issues. With keynotes and presentations from global leaders
including Nokia Americas, Oy Radiolinja Ab, NTT DoCoMo Inc., and the Canadian
Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA), Wireless Connections 2003 is a
compelling mix of the practical and the visionary. Attendees will examine the
industry's potential from an investment perspective; the ingredients required
to foster wireless innovation; real-life scenarios of implementations that have
demonstrated significant ROI; new and next-generation technologies; future
opportunities within the industry; and more. For early-bird registration or
