HONG KONG -- At Mobile Asia Expo 2013 in Shanghai, the GSMA will unveil a new Connected City experience, building on the success of the Connected City at this year’s Mobile World Congress. Opening on the 26th June and drawing on the developments that have put the Asia region at the forefront of connected device and service uptake, the Connected City at Mobile Asia Expo 2013 will enable attendees to stroll down a city street of the future and experience the ‘Connected Life’ powered by intelligent mobile connections.

In partnership with China Mobile, Cisco, Ford Motor Company, Huawei, KT Corp. and SAP, the Connected City will be a life-like urban environment where attendees will experience how these companies are making homes smarter, motoring more intelligent, shopping easier and city living safer in the largest and most forward-thinking mobile market in the world. Each area will bring together the latest in cutting-edge products and services to demonstrate how a connected future, driven by mobile, will simplify and enhance people’s everyday lives.

“The mobile industry continues to develop at an unprecedented pace and nowhere is this more evident than in Asia – a region that continues to experience tremendous growth and by 2020 will lead the connected devices and M2M market, both in terms of the number of devices and in terms of revenues,” said Michael O’Hara, Chief Marketing Officer, GSMA. “The Connected City in Shanghai will be a reflection of Asia’s market-leading position, where attendees will experience how the next wave of mobile innovation will deliver new business opportunities, enable disruptive products and services and ultimately drive economic growth.”
