FierceMarkets Announces Second Annual Virtual Event on 4G

WASHINGTON, DC - August 28, 2009 - FierceMarkets (www.fiercemarkets.com), publishers of FierceWireless and FierceBroadbandWireless, announced today that it will once again host its popular interactive virtual executive summit on 4G. The Future of 4G: A Reality Check, will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2009.

For the second year in a row, attendees will benefit from a full day of informative Webinar sessions, networking opportunities via live chat, active movement in and out of exhibit booths and sessions, whitepaper downloads, free contests, and more during the show. The unique virtual show platform allows attendees from around the globe to access the event from the comfort of their own desks, saving the hefty travel cost typically associated with tradeshows. The show will also be archived for 6 months after the show, allowing for additional participation after the live show date.

Last year's event attracted a global audience of more than 1,000 wireless industry executives, analysts, and media. This year's event promises to be equally successful. The Path to 4G: A Reality Check will take an in-depth look at the challenges carriers face when deploying 4G technologies—and will examine both WiMAX and LTE. The event will feature executives from Sprint Nextel, Alcatel-Lucent, Fibertower, Verizon, Qualcomm, Motorola, and other industry leaders. Featured topics will include:

• Applications that will drive 4G Adoption
• Femtocells and in-building coverage
• OSS and BSS: the key to 4G network efficiency
