ITU's Telecom World 2009, Geneva, October 9
Popular debates at ITU events tend to be policies, regulation, economy. This year the event attracted 18,000 visitors, a modest number due in part to the economy but probably also competition with other telecom trade shows in Europe. Visitors flocked to the Swiss stand, which proved to be one of the show’s most popular, covering 700 m2 on two levels and promoting the region’s excellence by highlighting thirty innovative companies and organizations based there. I went instead to meet friends at start-ups such as :
- Axelprod machine to machine mobile communication
- AxSionics ID management
- Adeya secure mobile communications
- id Quantique layer 2 communication encryption
- Klewel video content management
- Les alchimistes call center interconnection software
- Netguardians network and system event management
- Sensometrix : biometric security access
- Sensorscope mobile weather and environmental monitoring
- Osmosys secure mobile messaging and applications
- Ozwe interactive multimedia user interfaces
- Wisekey information and communications security
Frederic Kaplan co-founder of Ozwe invited me to play with his QB1 machine. I experienced the easy interaction with music with gesture-based interfaces and touch. I proved a poor user of the ball games. Later, with Sid Arora of Mobile Monday Switzerland I participated to a short web cast with our friend
