Applications Conference on Communications Technology at Wescon/95.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 1995--A special Applications Conference on Communications Technology will take place at Wescon/95 on Nov. 7-9 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Communications is the fastest-growing segment of today's electronics industry. The information superhighway, satellite communications, employee teleworking alternatives and wireless and cellular telephony all continue to revolutionize the product and service goals of the electronics industry. Wescon's Application Conference will harness the latest technological ideas that are evolving in this multibillion-dollar industry, with technical presentations by many of the world's leading communications experts, designed for buyers and specifiers of communications products. Topics to be covered include portable/mobile communications, enabling component technologies, wireless data communications, DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive , wireless LAN/WAN LAN/WAN Local Area Network/Wide Area Network , satellite communication, software, navigation technology/GPS and broadcasting/receiving. All Applications Conference sessions are free of charge to registered Wescon/95 attendees. Wescon/95 Technical Conference Chairman, Dr. Thomas Magill of Stanford Telecom, acknowledged, "The conference's emphasis on communications technology will prove of great benefit to component, semiconductor and digital signal processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing. Characteristics of typical Digital Signal Processors
"The many issues attendees will explore include spread spectrum systems and ISM Band problems and solutions; the three major planned mobile satellite systems; and how DSP has been applied to many communications systems. Attendees will also gain practical experience with enabling component technologies and how various components meet required environments." Wescon is the largest annual OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and electronics exhibition and conference in the United States. It will be held Nov. 7-9 at Moscone Center in San Francisco. It is cosponsored by the San Francisco Bay Area “Bay Area” redirects here. For other uses, see Bay Area (disambiguation).
