Track: IMS Summit
(IMS)


Introduction to IMS
(IMS-01)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  12:00-12:45pm
The IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) specification has taken the industry by storm, promising access-agnostic multimedia services and fixed/mobile convergence. As IMS gains momentum, service providers are rapidly evaluating and converting network architectures in order to experience the cost savings, time-to-market and added capabilities that IMS promises. This session will take a closer look at IMS service infrastructure and components, providing an overview of the critical components that will deliver on IMS’ potential.

How Will IMS Affect the Enterprise?
(IMS-02)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  1:00-1:45pm
Fixed-mobile convergence for the enterprise is more than just dual-mode Wi-Fi to cellular handoff. Instead service providers need to focus on delivering additional value in the form of new services that cross network boundaries to simplify today’s communications experience, enhance productivity and deliver cost savings. This session will discuss how solutions should go beyond basic network roaming and handoff to deliver the quality of service that users expect from mission critical voice, regardless of the network. Going forward, presence-enhanced communications that can be driven from integrated group and contact lists across any device will take converged communications to the next level, leveraging the emerging IMS service architecture within the enterprise domain, particularly as it relates to rapid service delivery and personalization, open systems and services, the integration of rich media into IP applications, and the convergence of mobile and fixed networks for enterprise users.

Delivering Services in an IMS World
(IMS-03)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  2:00-2:45pm
This session will educate the audience on IMS architecture and the benefits, challenges, and service delivery implications for this exciting service infrastructure technology. IMS architecture can support a large variety of diverse IP-based services including push-to-talk, color ring-back tones, speech activated dialing, unified messaging, media transcoding, and multimedia conferencing. Speakers will also discuss a pragmatic migration to IMS, including the benefits of integrating VoIP and mobile services, as well as the multiple services involved in true mobile call convergence.

IMS & Security
(IMS-04)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  3:00-3:45pm
IMS is emerging as the technology that will enable service providers to move beyond the limitations of today’s cellular mobile architectures. Not only that, but IMS is rapidly becoming a key element in the development of next-generation networks, both fixed and mobile, potentially giving it a central role in all future networking — not just in wireless networks. This session will address how carriers can provide authentication, integrity and security for all traffic from the multi-mode handset to the network. Among the challenges and uncertainties that must be resolved if IMS is to realize its full potential, the speaker will examine the security impact on the business case for IMS, the types of attacks that may crop up, network vulnerabilities and more. This session will also address the evolving requirements for session border controllers within an IMS environment with special attention being paid to standards body activity, deployment scenarios, and management options.

A Look Ahead: The Future of IMS
(IMS-05)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  4:00-4:45pm
It’s become clear that IMS will play a major role in the ongoing convergence of wireline and wireless networks. And operators who are keen to build next-generation services on all-IP infrastructures to save costs and increase the speed of service delivery are already taking their first steps to developing an IMS strategy. But what will the future hold? What challenges and opportunities will we face as we move towards convergence? Come to this session and find out.
