``Connect with UPnP Technology'' 2004 Asia and U.S. Summit Dates Announced.SAN RAMON San Ramon (Spanish for "Saint Raymond") may refer to one of the following places:
UIC Underground Injection Control UIC Union of Islamic Courts UIC United Industrial Corporation UIC Union Internationale des Chemins de Fer (International Union of Railways) ) Collaborates with the Intel Developers Forum and LonWorld Expo in the Production of a Series of Informational Events The UPnP(TM) Implementers Corporation (UIC) today announced collaboration with two leading industry events for location of its annual informational "Connect with UPnP Technology" summit series. The Intel Developers Forum (IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) A wiring rack located between the MDF (main distribution frame) and the intended end user devices (telephones, routers, PCs, etc.). Cables run from the outside world to the MDF and then to the IDFs. See MDF and wiring rack. ) in Taiwan and the LonWorld(R) Expo in China will be the co-location sites in Asia for the series of events. "The UIC couldn't be more thrilled to be collaborating with these two popular events and prestigious organizations," said Karen Stash stash Drug slang noun A place where illicit drugs are hidden , UIC President, "These alliances are enormously representative of the common threads and development programs becoming more prevalent throughout the home networking community. We look forward to providing a program of valuable information to the expanded audience that will be in attendance at both the IDF and LonWorld events." The summits will feature presentations by leading experts on how UPnP technology allows devices on a network to be discovered and easily used. Additionally, the sessions will include overviews of the UPnP architecture and standards, informational demonstrations, and overviews of the latest applications using UPnP technology. Attendees will also learn how their products will benefit from obtaining UPnP certification and gain better understanding of why UPnP technology is key to the connected home and making home networking simpler. The first of three total events in the summit series will be a two day October 13-14 event and will take place at the Microsoft campus located in Mountain View, California For the census-designated place, see Mountain View, Contra Costa County, California. For other places called "Mountain View", see . Mountain View is a city in Santa Clara County, in the U.S. state of California. The city gets its name from the views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. USA. The first-ever UPnP Technology Summit to be held in Asia will be co-located with the LonWorld Exposition and Conference -- the world's leading annual forum of the LonWorks(R) industry. The conference allows a diverse audience to see and learn firsthand first·hand adj. Received from the original source: firsthand information. first about new products, applications, and technological advances in networking everyday devices using the LonWorks platform. The LonWorld 2004 event is being co-organized by UIC member company Echelon and LonMark(R) International. "It's very exciting to be featuring content from the UIC at the LonWorld event in China. The synergies between UPnP technology and LonWorks based home automation applications are tremendous. Hosting the UPnP Summit makes the LonWorld event especially appealing as an educational and business opportunity to both of our respective developer and user communities," said Vijay Dhingra, Echelon's director of product management and UPnP Forum The UPnP Forum (Universal Plug and Play Forum) is a computer industry initiative to enable simple and robust connectivity to stand-alone devices and personal computers from the many different vendors.

The series will culminate culminate, in astronomy, the maximum height in the sky reached by a celestial body on a given day. At the culminate the body is crossing the observer's celestial meridian and is said to be in upper transit. in collaboration with the IDF, a premier technology conference series produced by Intel that will hold an event in Taipei, Taiwan October 25-26, 2004 with the UIC Summit being held at the same venue for one day on October 27. The conference features informational sessions and networking functions designed to provide region-specific technical content to engineers, architects and researchers. "Intel is a founding member of the UPnP forum and long-time driver of the UPnP architecture, software tools and many working committees. Intel is also a member of the board of directors for the UIC. The IDF audience of application developers, hardware designers, and device manufacturers that are focused on the growing connected home arena will certainly benefit from the co-location of UPnP summit with IDF to learn more about the technology, tools and future direction for UPnP," said Stephen Whalley, Technology Enabling Manager, Desktop Platforms Group, Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking .

UPnP technology makes home networking simple and affordable so the connected home experience becomes a mainstream experience for users and a great opportunity for the industry. UPnP device and service standards have been defined and published for Internet gateways/routers, audio-video media devices, printers, scanners, climate control, lighting and wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area access points. During the past 2 years, millions of UPnP(TM) enabled products were shipped throughout the world. Many of these products have been certified by the UIC. UPnP certification creates the foundation for interoperability and authorizes products to display the UPnP certification mark A certification mark on a commercial product indicates five things:
The UPnP architecture offers pervasive network connectivity between PCs of all form factors, intelligent appliances, and wireless devices. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and the Web technologies to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices in the home, office, and everywhere in between. UPnP technology can be supported on essentially any operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and works with essentially any type of physical networking media -- wired or wireless -- providing maximum user and developer choice and great economics. About the UPnP(TM) Forum The UPnP Forum is a group of companies and individuals across multiple industries that play a leading role in the authoring of specifications for UPnP devices and services. Formed in June 1999, the Forum is an unincorporated entity An unincorporated entity in Australian law is an entity that has the same characteristics as a company but is not incorporated as a corporations law company. This includes:
Computer networking is the engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems or devices. , mobile products and other leading companies working together to design schema and protocol standards for the UPnP initiative.
