Executives - Gain an Insight into the Thicket of Acronyms & Technical Jargon Unavoidable in any Discussion of Wireless Connectivity.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47643) has announced the addition of The Language of Mobile Imaging: A Glossary of 1,405 Technical & Business Terms to their offering.

Do you speak camera-phone? Are you left scratching your head when you read about camera-phone capabilities or next-generation networks? Let The Language of Mobile Imaging - A Glossary of 1,405 Technical & Business Terms help.

This unique resource contains more than 112,000 words explaining terms from wireless technology --personal, local, metro, and wide area network technologies, standards, and modulation schemes; from computer programming and information interchange standards; and from digital imaging -- from optics, opto-mechanics, image sensors, image processing, flash and video lighting, to content formats, flash memory, and display technology, among others. It is designed to help executives from the digital imaging, telecommunications, information management, and content industries wade through the thicket of acronyms and technical jargon unavoidable in any discussion of wireless connectivity.

From the leading authority in the field, hosts of the Mobile Imaging Summit executive conferences and publishers of the Mobile Imaging Report continuous information service.
