IWCE reflects important industry issues
What started out as the National Radio Dealer’s Conference in 1977 has evolved to an international wireless conference and exposition. More than 350 exhibitors of land-mobile related equipment and services came to Las Vegas to present their products at the 26th International Wireless Communications Expo. Many exhibitors reported “quality” attendance, as visitors seemed genuinely interested in purchasing equipment.
The conference program reflected the most important issues of the industry today, including the Nextel White Paper, the status of Project 25 equipment, the tower market, update of 220MHz-222MHz, first response at the World Trade Center and FCC “speed traps.”
Other special events were also held in conjunction with IWCE. The Small Business in Telecommunications sponsored its annual Jam Session, and PCIA held a workshop for the 21st century radio dealer. IWCE 2003 will take place March 10-14 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
