RCR Wireless News hitches a ride to Detroit next week

RCR Wireless News is hitting the road next week for Detroit. As with every stop on our global tour, conference series and news desk, our team will engage the mobile community at the local level to better understand the impacts of mobile broadband on the economy, innovation and society as a whole to see how progress in the industry is changing the way we work, live and play.
Detroit is the eleventh-largest metropolitan area in the country, and is of course, known for being one of the automotive centers of the world. The Motor City experienced hard times during the economic recession but with the big three automakers, General Motors Co. (GM), Ford Motor Co. (F) and Chrysler Group LLC, looking to rebound, the city hopes it can curb financial woes in the auto industry and reverse course.
As an important part of the process, the wireless industry is salivating to break into M2M markets, where it sees automotive innovations as key to success, even equal to or beyond healthcare opportunities in M2M technologies.
RCR Wireless News plans to visit the city and the Telematics Detroit conference on M2M technology in Novi, Mich., next week to interview industry executives in town, show product demonstrations and report from the show floor.
To request an interview at the Telematics show or for our coverage of wireless in Detroit as a whole, contact editors Matt Kapko at matt@rcrwireless.com or Marc Speir at marc@rcrwireless.com.
