"WiMAX World EMEA remains the premier WiMAX conference and the largest exposition of WiMAX and wireless and mobile broadband solutions held annually in the EMEA region," said Eliot Weinman, President of Trendsmedia, conference founder and co-chair. "For the last three years, WiMAX World EMEA has seen unparalleled growth. WiMAX World has maintained and built our reputation by providing an unbiased and balanced view of this fast growing marketplace. We are pleased to acknowledge the support we have gathered from the entire ecosystem of WiMAX operators, equipment and radio manufacturers, and content providers as well as more than 120 corporate, media, analyst and association sponsors."

More than 1,500 executives attended WiMAX World EMEA this week representing the full breadth of the WiMAX and mobile broadband ecosystems. Excitement was evident from a diversity of exhibitors, which included carriers, content developers, device manufacturers and technology enablers, as they unveiled their latest WiMAX products and services. The exhibit floor hosted dozens of product announcements and live demonstrations as visitors networked and secured business relationships with new and existing customers.

According to Kevin Suitor, VP Marketing and Business Development, Redline Communications, "Whether sharing best practices from trials, learning about recent product and technology advancements or networking with other members of the ecosystem, WiMAX World 2008 EMEA was clearly a valuable experience for all who attended."

WiMAX World EMEA 2008 featured daily executive roundtable discussions that included many of the industry's leading analysts, service providers, product vendors and WiMAX users. Discussions enabled conference delegates to understand issues related to creating successful business models and supporting development and deployment of WiMAX networks by focusing on two key themes: mobile WiMAX and its ecosystem.

Bernard Aboussouan, Sequans Communications' VP Marketing and Business Development added: "As always, WiMAX World EMEA exceeded our expectations by providing unbiased thought provoking high-value conference sessions and many networking opportunities to meet with attending operators."
