Evolving
BC's Wireless Community
James Maynard, President
Wavefront Accelerator Centre (Vancouver, BC)
With support
from WINBC and the Premier's Technology Council, Wavefront is emerging
as the commercialization bridge between the wireless developer
community in British Columbia and the mobile operators, government and
large enterprises that are deploying new wireless products and
services. In collaboration with its established partners, Wavefront
provides the developer community with neutral, independent test
services and the market knowledge to enable rapid commercialization. In
this way, Wavefront reduces development costs and time to market for
new mobile products and services. This will in turn enhance the ability
of these B.C. companies to grow and prosper in both national and
international markets.
