industry professionals must remain at the forefront of communications
thought leadership, and this event is designed to cover all the
'need-to-know' issues," said Dr. Adam Drobot, chief technology officer
and president, Advanced Technology Solutions, Telcordia.
Dr. Drobot will be one of the featured speakers and will discuss how
Telcordia brings together applied research, consulting and
engineering capabilities to help communications service providers,
commercial enterprises and government agencies envision, create,
deploy and profit from the future of communications. Drobot will

inventing new technologies for real world business challenges.

collaboration between the IEEE and industry partners and will continue
throughout IEEE Region 1, which spans the Northeast US," said
Ashutosh Dutta, Senior Scientist, Advanced Technology Solutions,
