The shows, along with a third event, OSP (Online Service Provider) See online service. OSP - Optical Signal Processor Expo, are the foundation for what is shaping up to be the world's most important international, all-encompassing communications event. GLOBALCOMM will bring together a broad base of global information and communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry (ICT (1) (Information and Communications Technology) An umbrella term for the information technology field. See IT. (2) (International Computers and Tabulators) See ICL. 1. (testing) ICT - In Circuit Test. ) suppliers, service providers, enterprises and other users of ICT. The event will feature world-class educational sessions and cutting-edge technology solutions for convergence, communications infrastructure, wireless, content, enhanced security and IP applications such as IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , VoIP and VoD. Along with keynotes from global industry leaders, GLOBALCOMM will offer technology, regulatory and business advancements driving the converged, global communications industry communications industry, broadly defined, the business of conveying information. Although communication by means of symbols and gestures dates to the beginning of human history, the term generally refers to mass communications. . Sensors Expo & Conference is the leading sensors event in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , featuring an in-depth conference program exploring the most up-to-date innovations in sensor technologies including physical sensors, sensor networks, biosensors, MEMS/nanotechnology, instrumentation and controls, intelligent systems, machine-to-machine communication, wireless sensing and IT technology. Sensors Expo & Conference identifies cutting-edge trends, explores them in a well-planned, information-packed conference program and reflects those trends throughout the show floor with new product announcements, application presentations, expert-led industry focused tours, and a showcase of hundreds of products and services. Education tracks include: Intelligent Systems, Networking & Communications, Technology & Design, Industry Applications and Business Perspectives. Special programs include: Automotive Symposium, Digital Data Acquisition, Concepts Seminar, MEMS/Nanotechnology Seminar, ZigBee Standard Seminar, DOE -- Sensors for Manufacturing Efficiency Seminar, Aerospace and Homeland Security Workshop, Wireless Sensors Interface Standard & WINA WINA Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance WINA WAP Interim Naming Authority (mobile networks) WINA Whitetail Institute of North America WINA Webb Institute of Naval Architecture (Glen Cove, New York) Workshop, and the Wireless TechTour. "We are very excited about the co-location of these two events -- each of which is the market leader in their respective industry," said Kerry Gumas, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
