Verizon is gearing up for the International Consumer Electronics show this week in Las Vegas, where the company will join with a wide range of technology ecosystem partners to showcase its advanced networks, products, services and solutions that put consumers and enterprise customers at the epicenter of an ever-expanding connected universe.
Ivan Seidenberg, Verizon's chairman and CEO, will kick off the CES with a keynote address on Thursday (Jan. 6) that promises to offer a provocative and visionary view of the connected universe and the central role Verizon's high-IQ networks play for consumers and leading global businesses. Seidenberg will be joined by Verizon Chief Operating Officer Lowell McAdam as well as several surprise guests who will show how the combination of ultra-fast, intelligent networks and innovative applications and solutions will drive the most innovative era in the history of technology.
"We are putting the power of Verizon's advanced networks, innovative services and strategic partnerships front and center at the world's largest consumer technology show," said Tony Melone, executive vice president and chief technology officer for Verizon. "We aim to demonstrate how these collaborations dramatically transform the ways people communicate, consume entertainment, and stay connected to what's important to them - at work or at play and on any device."
For the first time, Verizon will have a large booth on the exhibit floor (Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, #35216) and will demonstrate dozens of products, applications and services that show the power and capabilities of the nation's fastest, most advanced 4G wireless network, the nation's most advanced fiber-to-the-home network and the most connected global IP network. The demonstrations are the result of collaborations with multiple companies and span the worlds of gaming, multi-screen entertainment, telemedicine, home security and management, and more.
