HYLA Mobile CTO Biju Nair to Discuss Opportunities in Emerging Markets at Mobile Future Forward

DALLAS, Sept. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HYLA Mobile Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Biju Nair will lead a dynamic discussion with industry leaders and visionaries at this year's Mobile Future Forward, highlighting the opportunities in emerging markets that mobile devices and services present for individual users, for countries and regions, and for a variety of industries.

"Over 60 percent of humanity still does not have access to the Internet," said Biju Nair, CTO of HYLA Mobile. "Mobile devices and the connectivity they provide are more often the only way for the unconnected to get connected. This presents tremendous opportunities for the mobile eco-system to communicate, conduct business, showcase products and services, and ultimately, to drive economic engines previously idle or under realized."

At HYLA Mobile, Biju Nair leads the effort to expand and enhance the company's technological vision, including the future technology roadmap. He focuses on bringing new technology solutions and business opportunities to the forefront.

Biju is a recognized entrepreneur and technology industry leader with 20 years of experience. He previously served as the executive vice president and chief corporate strategy officer for Synchronoss, where he was responsible for leading the technology direction and strategic vision of the company, as well as investor relations. Biju also has served as chairman and CEO of Sapience Knowledge Systems, Inc., a venture-backed wireless software company that was acquired by Synchronoss Technologies in 2011; senior vice president and GM of the Connectivity and Security Group at Smith Micro Software; and corporate vice president, GM and founder of Mobility Solutions Group at PCTEL, Inc., among other positions. Biju also holds numerous patents in the wireless software arena.

Mobile Future Forward is a mobile thought-leadership summit that attracts some of the most influential, industry-shaping minds, who are instrumental in driving innovation adoption and managing the growth of revenues and profits. The day-long summit fosters discussions and insights about the industry's future, capitalizing on the expertise, vision and experience of global mobile leaders who are all gathered in one place for one day each year.

As an industry leader in mobile device reuse, HYLA Mobile recognizes the opportunity created by idle devices for current users, carriers and those around the world who want access to wireless technology and the connectivity it provides. HYLA Mobile brings not only its market expertise to the summit, but also is a sponsor of Mobile Future Forward, along with Amdocs, Ericsson, Intel, moBack, Oracle, Qualcomm, Synchronoss and Tata Communications.
