Alliance's President Addresses 2009 Wireless Symposium

     Chicago, Illinois, December 5, 2008 — Richard McFarlane, President and Founder of Alliance Telecom Solutions, was selected to address the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association’s 2009 Wireless Symposium.  The event will welcome hundreds of telecommunications service providers to Austin, Texas on January 7-9, 2009.

     Mr. McFarlane will speak on the subject “LTE vs. WiMAX:  What Technology Will Win and Why?”  He will present and then facilitate a panel discussion on topics including the deployment costs, roaming opportunities, technology migration paths, end-user applications, consumer electronic devices, and business models of the two technologies.

     Since its founding in 1994, Alliance Telecom Solutions has provided experienced functional and technical consultants to telecom carriers in both the wireless and fixed line sectors.  Alliance is working with clients to make the tactical business process changes and to implement the OSS and BSS systems needed for the deployment of next-generation high speed data networks.

     “I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak at NTCA’s Wireless Symposium,” said Mr. McFarlane.  “Telecom carriers face an important decision in the next year or two about their WiMAX or LTE deployment strategy.  I hope to share what we’ve learned at Alliance and shed some light on the pros and cons of each technology, and I look forward to gaining insight from the companies attending about real world strategies being implemented.  I expect a lively discussion.”
