Verizon Wireless to Publish Version 1.0 at Conference
By Teresa von Fuchs
Verizon Wireless announced that it is planning to publish Version 1.0 of the technical specifications for wireless devices that will run on its “Any Device, Any App” network at its upcoming Open Development Device Conference. The conference is held on March 19 in New York City.
Verizon said the conference will focus on how manufacturers and entrepreneurs new to the wireless market can bring new wireless devices to the marketplace under its “Open Development” initiative. The carrier said it still expects its network-only option to be available later this year.
Anthony Lewis, vice president of the Open Development initiative at Verizon Wireless, in a statement said the conference agenda will focus on wireless devices, and that the initial specs will provide an important building block for device development. “Version 1.0 will provide the roadmap for wireless device visionaries and tinkerers, as well as existing device makers, to create consumer products not offered directly by the company,” he said.
The carrier also said that input from developers and attendees during the conference might refine the initial specs, but that device developers should be able to use Version 1.0 as the foundation immediately after it is presented.
While the conference agenda on March 19 focused on the goals and standards of the initiative, Verizon scheduled one-on-one visits between attendees, developers and its Open Development team on March 20.
