"WiMAX will soon make it possible for people in underserved, isolated communities to connect to the Web with the same performance and capabilities as those in urban environments. By the same token, those in dense city environments will be able to enjoy next generation mobility with much greater performance, and at a much lower cost, than the current cellular environment can provide," said Peter MacKinnon, Nortel's General Manager of WiMAX and chairman, LG-Nortel. "We're driving significant innovation in emerging wireless technologies and we're proud to again be a part of the only event dedicated to the latest WiMAX trends and developments."

"The growth and popularity of WiMAX World demonstrates that we're on the eve of wide-spread adoption." said Eliot Weinman, conference chairman and CEO of Trendsmedia. "WiMAX has become of great interest to operators, businesses and municipalities and we're excited to bring these parties together to learn about how WiMAX technology will enable the next generation of mobile broadband."

In addition to the keynote presentations, WiMAX World will now host a special executive roundtable on October 11 entitled "The Clearwire Partnership and the Future of Wireless Broadband" that will feature Gregory Brown from Motorola, Scott Richardson from Intel and Benjamin Wolff from Clearwire.
