WIRELESS SERVICES IN IRAQ – B2B Conferences (visiongain)
Added: (Fri Dec 03 2004)
London, UK; 03 December 2004– Attend the visiongain’s b2b conference, WIRELESS SERVICES IN IRAQ - OPPORTUNITIES FOR WIRELESS COMPANIES IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES IN IRAQ. This conference’s objective is to provide a unique forum to discuss the technical, financial and logistical challenges to deploy wireless services in Iraq.
Years of instability, war and economic sanctions have left Iraq with low levels of fixed line telephony services, allowing wireless communications to play a significant part in the country's developing telecommunications market. Six months after the transfer of sovereignty in Iraq investment opportunities are plenty for companies willing to play a role in the rebuilding of Iraq’s wireless telecommunications network. With 3 GSM licences awarded in 2004 and opportunities in alternative wireless solutions, the need for wireless infrastructure, masts, antennae, and mobile handsets is pressing.
This conference comprehensively examines the investment, trading and contracting opportunities in Iraq’s wireless network. Debates will also cover how wireless deployment projects can be managed on the ground and how to overcome the challenges related to security and finances.
The WIRELESS SERVICES IN IRAQ CONFERENCE 2005 will take place on January 26th & 27th at the Hilton Hotel, Kensington, and London. The conference will begin January 26th with opening remarks from the conference chairman, Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, Chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGI), the largest Arab group of professional service firms based in Jordan.
During this conference, leaders from the telecom sector will provide an insight in the challenges in project management and infrastructure planning and the examination of the technical options to enable the rollout of wireless services in Iraq. The programme will cover the opportunities for international companies to enter the Iraqi Wireless market now and when the situation is stabilised.
