RFS creates the event inside the event at the Mobile World Congress

With the RFS StayConnected Days, RFS creates the event inside the event at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

Colombes (France), January 21, 2010 – During the 2010 Mobile World Congress (Feb.15-18 in Barcelona, Spain), Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), the global wireless and broadcast infrastructure specialist, will feature the RFS StayConnected Days @ 2010 Mobile World Congress, effectively creating the event inside the event. On this occasion, the company will disclose its latest products and solutions to face the challenges of LTE introduction, outdoor cellular sites and indoor coverage.

In the second half of 2009, Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) rolled out a series of very successful roadshows, called the RFS StayConnected Days, in Thailand, Brazil, China, the United States, France, South Africa, India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). During these roadshows, more than 500 decision-makers in technical, purchasing, sales and management functions at customers including operators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and installation companies, met with RFS experts for one-on-one discussions. The RFS StayConnected Days @ 2010 Mobile World Congress build on the success of these roadshows to create the event inside the event.

“Our worldwide RFS StayConnected Days roadshows quickly gained momentum in 2009 and we continue to be impressed by our customers’ positive responses. I’m looking forward to meeting again with our existing customers and with many new customers at the RFS StayConnected Days @ 2010 Mobile World Congress.” Patrick Houze de l’Aulnoit, VP Global Sales & Marketing, RFS
