Dear Reader,
In accordance with the development of advanced communication, influencing
how we will ( or are supposed to ) live tomorrow, future CeBIT shows
will not be what they were before. That will already be noticeable
this year:
The emphasis of CeBIT 2004 will shift away from merely showing
ICT products and technologies towards solutions and applications.
To an even greater extent than in the past, we will focus on the
hot topic of networking. CeBIT 2004 will appeal to a broad target
audience - global players, small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups,
as well as private users. The CeBIT organizers will offer more contact
opportunities for "networkers" than any other competing event.
Technically speaking, networking is based on the abilities of data
communication, so this e-paper describes the Taiwan line-up of both
disciplines:
In Halls No. 14, 15 and 16 a total of 120 companies ( 105 networking
related, 15 UPS providers ) will show up, 60 of them on our ubiquitous
"Taiwan Pavilion" in Hall 15. Concentration in the business has
led to an eight percent decline over 2003. Just to name a few prominent
companies : Adlink, CNET, Draytek, Eten, Handlink, Jaht, Well Communication,
and Zyxel, among others. The big players in UPS are AC Power, Centralion,
Entrust, and Main Power.
Hall No.13 is the venue for Taiwan's presentation of WLAN technology,
including modems, xDSL, ISDN, and Video/Text communication. Insiders
might well know exhibitors such as Amigo, Antek, Yoda, Universal
Microelectronics, Welltech, Lectron and Senao.
Tendencies in brief
Taiwan's business press during the last months was booming with
optimism: "Taiwan WLAN manufacturers win Korean contracts", "WLAN
equipment market to grow by 82,5%", "Taiwan's Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) sets up WLAN R&D alliance" (i.e. to
create a new generation of products and to develop key technologies
for system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices, plus a host of product news
releases.
Apart from office communication, Taiwan industrial bigwigs expect
an explosive growth among home users, envisioning that the networking
industry is transitioning from a PC-centered era into an age of
wireless home networking, linking together the various home electronic
devices such as DVD players, set-top boxes, game consoles, video
cameras etc. by various WLAN technologies rather than messy wire
assemblies.
So, once more industries, under the draconian curse to maintain
growth, must resort to "creative persuasion" by force-feeding us
with enticing knick-knacks for previously non-existent market demands.
By the way, may I take this opportunity to raise a question of competence?
Who deserve the major merits in creating new markets - - the industries'
R&D and marketing wizards, or a world event like CeBIT in presenting
them on a grand scale, appetizing enough to separate people from
their money?
Stories in detail will be topics of our Online publication "TAIWAN
TECHNOLOGY" co
And now for something not so completely different:
"Networking" will also be high up on the ancillary of CeBIT, i.e.
the congress and lecture program. The line-up includes the "ICT
World Forum @ CeBIT 2004", a number of other big events still under
development (watch the CeBIT website in February ) and, in addition,
over 300 practice-oriented company seminars, hosted by individual
CeBIT exhibitors, a seven full schedule of overlapping press conference,
and, not to forget, the famous after-show evening stand parties,
the very casual way of "networking" Hannover fairs are so famous
for.
Mighty are our preparations to keep you busy from morning to night
at CeBIT 2004 ! So, honor them by contemplating to swing by !
And here, some previews from our exhibitors:
