No Boundaries

This year we celebrated the broadening influence of the mobile data industry by recognizing what it has taken to achieve this success and the people and companies that have played major roles in the mobile data revolution.

The mobile data industry began with people who were not happy tied to their desks and asked, “What if…?”

Soon they were joined by others who had ideas about “How to.”

Together they said, “Let’s do it!”

These people were the pioneers of wireless mobility who sparked an industry that continues to expand into new areas each year. With open arms, we welcome all to participate in this mobile world where today, seemingly, there are No Boundaries.
