For the June meeting WCA will present a panel discussion:
"Semiconductor Developments with Significant Wireless Impact"

With market predictions in this sector exceeding $20B by 2005, we expect a
very interesting and informative discussion from a very broad range of
industry leaders. The panel will be hosted by Rick Ellinger, WCA Director
and Venture Partner at Ospry Ventures.

Innovative semiconductor technology has been the essential means for meeting
demand for the remarkable growth of the wireless communications market. The
semiconductor industry has enabled wireless devices to have lower power
consumption, be smaller, and less costly while increasing the capacity and
performance of wireless network infrastructure. It is no coincidence that so
many manufacturers of wireless communications products are located in
Silicon Valley, the heart of the nation's semiconductor industry. The panel
is made up of representatives from semiconductor companies that will
describe current and future technologies that can really make a difference
in the direction of the industry.

Panel members:
- Broadcom: Jeff Abramowitz, Sr. Director, WLAN Marketing
- Intel: Vishwas Deshmane, Marketing Mgr., Communication and Computing Group
- LeWiz: Chinh Le, CEO and CTO
- QuickSilver Technology: Paul Master, CTO
- Rainmaker Technologies: Mark Laubach, Chief Technology Officer
- Resonext: David Tahmassebi, President & Chief Executive Officer
- Zeevo: Anil Aggarwal -President and CEO
