“For mobile data services, businesses today call IT solution providers, not phone companies,” said Austin Park, vice president of infrastructure services for PDS (Paragon Development Systems). “PDS will show businesses how to adopt an end-to-end mobile solution.”

The PDS Mobility Expo is sponsored by PDS, Microsoft, Intel, HP, and McAfee.
