Basestation e-newsletter


	Welcome to this latest issue of the Basestation Newsletter. I would like to thank all of you who contributed articles, news items or product information to this edition.
Registration is now taking place for the 3rd International Basestation Conference and this year we have our strongest line up ever of speakers. Key note presentations from Vodafone, Telifonica, T-Mobile, TeliaSonera and Orange will present their future requirements for infrastructure in the network. Nokia, Ericsson, Nortel, Agere, Motorola and others will outline their solutions to meet the operators needs. System, Sub-system and Chip manufacturers explain their latest technologies and how these benefit the drive for lower cost, smaller and more power efficient hardware and software products. Please take a look at the programme and book early - particularly if you wish accommodation in the Bath Spa Hotel itself.
