Flarion's Dolan speaks in New York today

Ray Dolan, CEO of Flarion Technologies, will present Flarion's approach to profitable mobile broadband data as a featured presenter at Lehman Brothers' Third Annual Global Wireless Conference.

Ray Dolan, CEO of Flarion Technologies, will present Flarion's approach to profitable mobile broadband data as a featured presenter at Lehman Brothers' Third Annual Global Wireless Conference this afternoon at New York City's Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Dolan's presentation will focus on the capital economics, user experience, and other business case assumptions necessary to drive immediate revenue growth and sustained profitability for operators providing wireless data services.

Results of Flarion's recent trials will also be reviewed.

This year's conference has been designed to offer attendees a global perspective with operator and vendor speakers representing each of the world's major wireless regions.

Dolan has been president and CEO of Flarion Technologies since its inception in 2000.

Prior to that, he held positions as the Chief Operating Officer for NextWave Telecom and Executive Vice President of Marketing for Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile.

Dolan was also an officer in the United States Marine Corps where he served as a tactical jet pilot.

The industry's recent excitement about WiFi will also be addressed, specifically the importance of seamless LAN/WAN interoperability for user acceptance and operator profitability.

"Operators are struggling with the gap between WiFi and 3G technologies.

While WiFi enjoys tremendous user acceptance due to its simplicity and cost, it clearly won't scale to carrier grade on a wide area basis.

At the same time, 3G misses the mark on cost as well as user-friendliness.

Flarion bridges this gap while addressing the critical need for spectral efficiency", said Dolan.

"Since our keynote demonstration of our mobile handoff capabilities at the recent CTIA Show in Orlando, we've had tremendous interest from operators that are working through strategies to address user requirements from the view of the enterprise CIO.

Our approach streamlines the issues which are required for CIO's to embrace mobile data and provides an experience to the user that "feels like it's on a wired link.

This is essential for the mobile data market to truly emerge".
