But these can only be realized when mobility is done right - from strategy to planning to deployment to ongoing operations, across wireless LANs, cellular, and often other wireless networks, and usually on a broad range of mobile platforms and devices. Given the continuing rapid evolution of wireless and mobile technologies, products, systems, and services, how can enterprise IT get the latest and most valuable information on what is becoming the very center of IT itself? The Interop NY 2012 Wireless and Mobility Track of course - a vital resource for knowledge, education, practical advice, optimal strategies, and, yes, debate, from analysts, practitioners, leading industry players, and important newcomers on the key topics that define the wireless and mobile space today. Join us as we bring together the leading experts, product suppliers, service providers, and the broad community allied to the field for an event that clarifies the knowledge that IT departments, and many others in organizations everywhere, will find instrumental in making the most of mobility.
