Zahid Ghadialy’s Summary

With over 9 years of experience in the 3G wireless domain, technology is my passion. Over the years I have been involved in design, development, documentation, testing, optimisations, process improvements, project managements, training, etc.

At present, I am Managing Director of eXplanoTech Limited and involved in several projects with different clients. Along with these, I am also into Technical trainings and till date my most popular training has been on "Introduction to MBMS" and "Introduction to 3G+". I also regularly blog on the latest developments in the wireless telecoms field and interested in discussions around that area.

Please feel free to connect to me or just meetup for casual chat or technology related discussions.
