Conference Overview

IWCE’s five days of workshops, sessions and networking opportunities provides you with the tools you need to become more efficient, work faster and more profitably and to stay ahead of the competition. The conference offers government agencies, public safety professionals, enterprise users, wireless service providers, IT professionals and dealers the ability to learn about all aspects of communications technology.

The College of Technology at IWCE

Monday, March 11 & Tuesday, March 12
The College of Technology provides both introductory courses and technical workshops for all types and levels. These half-day and full-day workshops provide a good foundation for your communications technology knowledge, from backhaul and test & measurement to project management and system planning. Whether you need fundamentals, just a brush up on what’s new or in-depth training, these courses are useful to set the stage for both short courses and visiting exhibitors.

IWCE’s Short Courses

Wednesday, March 13 – Friday, March 15
Short courses are valuable as you get the information you need while also attending the exhibit hall on Wednesday and Thursday. They continue on Friday so you get a full week of education! Valuable information on infrastructure, system planning, next generation networks, broadband, hardware, applications, spectrum optimization and interoperability are all covered, as well as special sessions for specific attendee groups, and regulatory updates from leading associations.
"You always know IWCE will provide you with the opportunity to see the new technologies that vendors and developers are anxious to show, but one of the biggest benefits to attending IWCE is running into the large number of spontaneous discussions at booths. Many of these discussions... Address solutions to the same situations you face at home." - Bill Brown, Radio Manager, Department of Transportation

Airheads is a technical training and peer exchange conference focused singularly on implementing and managing secure mobility.

Based on your feedback, we are adding a pre-conference training bootcamp and an additional full-day of technical sessions so you have more time to learn, share ideas and meet with the Aruba engineers that make it all happen.

A number of engineers from Aruba, its customers and partners will run breakout sessions throughout the conference to allow delegates to work in more intimate groups. Our aim is to provide both fundamental and advanced sessions on mobility design and troubleshooting topics including RF engineering, BYOD and the upcoming 802.11ac standard. Be sure to frequently check the agenda and sign up for sessions that would be useful for you. Space in the pre-conference training classes and breakouts is limited, so sign up early to reserve your seat. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!

Animal Farm 7 - Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan 29th - Feb 1st 2013

The Animal Farm Users Group consists of Canopy-based WISPs from around the world who in large part provide high-grade, high-speed broadband service to areas underserved (or poorly served) by incumbent wireline service providers (i.e. cable & telco). The group’s activities are sponsored largely by third-party product vendors Wireless Beehive, Last Mile Gear, PacketFlux, their distributors, and several others.
The mailing list ( af@afmug.com ) has had a couple homes over the years, and has always generated a healthy amount of traffic with topics ranging from ISP business issues to project management to network troubleshooting and more.
Current list membership exceeds 450 members, with anywhere from 50 to over 300 posts in a given day.
To subscribe, unsubscribe, post or request help, simply send an email in the following format

Mailing list archives are hosted by Beehive Broadband.The Animal Farm conferences have helped to match names with faces and encourage cooperation on all fronts between list members. It is impossible to measure the amount of assistance, business, and other offlist interaction that has undoubtedly resulted from person-to-person networking fostered by Animal Farm. As many attendees have put it, “This is the show to attend” for Canopy WISPs.
Much credit goes to Motorola’s WiBB team for 1) creating a solid, reliable family of products and 2) recognizing and supporting the grass roots movement that has become Animal Farm.
From the WISPTech Wiki:“Animal Farm is a Motorola Canopy users group. It is not affiliated with Motorola in any official manner. Animal Farm is for users of Motorola Canopy™ equipment to meet and discuss topics of common interest. This is a user driven event, not a vendor driven event. It is also a place for contributors of motorola@afmug.com to meet face to face. …”
