2006 CONFERENCE TESTIMONIALS
"Municipal wireless is entering a new and important period in its development. As deployments begin, municipal leaders, service providers and technology providers must work in close cooperation to fulfill its promise. The Wireless City has made an important step forward in fostering this dialogue. I've enjoyed working with Glenn and his team and participating in the Fall '06 conference. I found the conference to be beneficial and the discussion with different municipal leaders stimulating. I am looking forward to future events."
Martin Levetin - VP, Strix Systems
"The Wireless City Conference was an excellent forum for City leaders. It thoroughly addressed both pre and post deployment issues that local government leaders can't afford to ignore. I highly recommend attendance to all city leaders in search of their Municipal wireless solutions."
Christina Shea - Councilwoman, City of Irvine
