WASHINGTON-Wireless Communications Association International is hosting two high-profile panels at its annual conference in Boston next week that will assess the implications for the wireless communications industry of homeland security developments such as the proposed new cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security, WCA said.
The sessions will be chaired by WCA Homeland Security Task Force Chairman Dr. Daniel Devasirvatham, who is the vice president of technology in the wireless systems group for Science Applications International Corp.
The first session will feature the Federal Communications Commission’s Chief of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Policy Division Barry Ohlson, and Winstar Communications Senior Vice President and Regulatory Counsel Joseph Sandri.
The second session includes an overview of commercial companies’ wireless capabilities for security services by Susan Welsh de Grimaldo, formerly with The Strategis Group. The session also will include a tutorial by Homeland Defense Journal publisher Don W. Dickson on new developments in the field.
WCA 2002 is taking place at Boston’s World Trade Center June 24-27.
