Responding to the increased industry activity around Mobile Reference Designs, Informa Telecoms and Media presents the first-ever conference on this timely subject. Recent changes in the handset value chain and global market have facilitated the rise of handset reference designs as a means of cutting time to market and controlling costs in the development of mobile devices. The growth of reference design as a model for device development, design and deployment is pertinent to all players in the value chain, including handset manufacturers, component providers and software solution manufacturers - making this the first conference in the market to consider the technical and strategic implications of reference design on the mobile space.
