TechnoConcepts at Next Generation Mobile Networks Conference in Frankfurt
VAN NUYS, Calif.--June 1, 2006--TechnoConcepts, Inc. (OTCBB:TCPS), developers of the first RF to digital one-step chip, today announced that chairman Antonio Turgeon has been invited to attend the Next Generation Mobile Networks Conference in Frankfort, Germany on June 6, 2006. The conference brings together top European telecommunication executives, including CTOs from such companies as KPN Mobile N.V., Orange SA, Sprint Nextel Corporation, T-Mobile International AG & CO KG and Vodafone Group PLC who have been working in close cooperation to create a common vision for the next generation of mobile networks.Mr. Turgeon is expected to engage in discussions with these key service providers about leveraging the commercial opportunities of converged services and choosing the optimum migration strategy to ensure a smooth and profitable transition to Next Generation Networks. This event provides telecommunication network operators and wireless service providers with an opportunity to learn how their peers from all over the world are meeting the challenges of deciding how and when to migrate to Next Generation Networks, how operating expenses will be impacted, and how next-generation services are being rolled out over Next Generation Networks, going beyond High Speed Wireless Broadband and 3G wireless Internet networks.
"Fixed and mobile service providers and network operators have indicated that they believe they must migrate to Next Generation Networks or risk being left behind, so it is vital that the right decisions are made now. The revenue opportunities are tremendous, but only if the migration to Next Generation Networking is handled correctly. TechnoConcepts' direct conversion RF/D(TM) technology offers over all lower cost and a simpler migration path," said Turgeon.
