NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2005--Global Technology Conferences today announced that Dr. Rajiv Laroia, CTO of QUALCOMM's OFDMA division (former CTO and founder of Flarion, acquired by QUALCOMM August, 2005), will deliver the keynote address "Mobile OFDMA for Triple Play Services" at GSPx 2005. GSPx will take place October 24-27 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California.


"Dr. Laroia brings a track record of successful OFDMA implementation to the conference. By implementing OFDMA technology, he has profitably increased the data transmission power of mobile broadband voice, data and video for many mobile operators," said Dr. Amnon Aliphas, GSPx conference chair. "GSPx attendees will learn about the latest applications for OFDMA and how it will affect the market."

Dr. Laroia is a recognized industry expert in OFDMA and other cellular multiple-access technologies and is intimately familiar with current and next-generation wireless standards. He draws from a diverse technological background spanning wireless communication, data transmission, information theory, VLSI design and architecture, analog mixed-signal and RF circuit design, high-speed AD-DA data converters, and video/image compression.

Before founding Flarion, Dr. Laroia was head of Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories' Digital Communications Research Department in the Wireless Research Center, where he and his team started to develop a FLASH-OFDM(R) technology-based wireless system. His years at Bell Labs have generated more than 35 patents with total patent licensing revenue in excess of $25 million.
