GZOPA Second Seminar:

3G Communication and Its Impact to Our Life

Dear members and friends,

You may know Verizon is a mobile phone service provider with a relatively more accessible network. But did you notice that biggest three laptop makers in the world, Dell, HP, and Lenovo (called Legend before) will add Verizon wireless technology to their laptop PCs, instead of using an add-card such V620, for faster speed wireless Internet connection? This is something new and significant enough for us to pay attention. I am pleased to announce GZOPA's seminar on 3G wireless technologies. The speaker, Dr. Xuming Chen, will give us a snap shot for what this new 3G technology means to us.

Where: Abmaxis, Inc. 3303 Octavius Drive, Suite 103, Santa Clara, CA 95054 (map)
When: 2:00pm - 2:45pm, Oct. 16, 2005, Sunday.
Admission is free, but RSVP by Friday (Oct. 14, 2005) is required due to limited seats.
It is first-come-first-serve.
Contact: RSVP to: GZOPA_info@yahoo.com or call 408-4802647
