CMP Media's Communications Design Conference Showcases Full Spectrum Of Communications TechnologyPRNewswire-FirstCall CMP Media LLC (NASDAQ: UNEWY) announces the opening of the second annual Communications Design Conference (CDC) ( http://www.commdesignconference.com/ ), the premier gathering of technologists, industry leaders, and media focused on communication systems design and development, held September 23-26 at the San Jose Convention Center. CDC provides design engineers and technical managers the opportunity to learn innovative techniques for designing OEM communications systems that apply wired, optical, and wireless communications technologies for personal, home/soho, enterprise, and infrastructure applications. "This year, CDC offers a top-notch educational program that enables communications systems designers to learn and immediately implement practical solutions to their most current and challenging design problems, including top-of-mind security and networking issues," said Rob Keenan, conference co-chair. "The exhibition complements the strong technical program, with 76 leading industry companies showcasing the very best technology, from chip- to board-level communications design products." Key Areas Drive Future Growth of Communications Industry "As in previous downturns, networking and telecom companies must continue to design and develop innovative products in order to navigate out of this slowdown and eventually start growing once again," said Sean Lavey, manager of communication semiconductor research at IDC. "CDC remains an important industry event to attend where many key designers of next-generation wireless, wired and optical systems showcase their chip and board subsystems and learn about the critical technologies that will be at the heart of this future." Major areas of design discussion include 3G wireless handsets and infrastructure, WLAN, Ethernet MAN, Bluetooth, Internet security and next-generation optics. CDC will provide the opportunity for design engineers to learn about the issues and challenges surrounding these critical areas, which are driving the growth of the communications industry.
