SUMMARY

Wavefront invites wireless developers to attend its network test lab launch event featuring Ericsson, the world’s leading supplier of telecommunications.  The lab will allow developers to test new wireless applications on a carrier grade HSPA+ mobile network connected to Ericsson’s leading edge Montreal Test Facility, one of the largest in Canada.   Learn how to engage with Ericsson and leverage their test facility and services.  Developers will receive a sneak peek into what the future mobile ecosystem will look like.  And, will be introduced to the Ericsson Developer Program which makes it easy to develop, distribute and sell applications worldwide without having to adapt to specific operators or channels. Take advantage of the benefits of being able to distribute and retail your mobile content and applications to a market with more than 1 billion potential users.  After the presentation, there will be tours of the Wavefront test facility sponsored by Ericsson.  

In the afternoon from 2-5pm, developers will have an opportunity to set up a one-on-one engagement with Ericsson executives.  There will be two tracks: ‘Test Facility and Services’ and ‘Ericsson Developer Program’.  Please also let us know which track you would like to set-up a meeting with when you register.
