Once again leading academics, business executives, investment analysts and researchers from around the world will address the important issues facing wireless telecommunications at the Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS).

Local business executives, investors, venture capitalists, researchers and anyone who has an interest in global wireless telecommunications are encouraged to attend WTS.
