Ingate Presents "SIP Trunking" Seminars at IT Expo

By Eve Sullivan, TMCnet Editor

Ingate Systems (News - Alert) will educate end users, resellers, distributors and systems integrators about SIP trunking – and a little bit about “American Idol” – when the company presents, “SIP Trunking: Everything You Need to Know,” seminars at this week’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & Expo West 2008.



 
Ingate will partner with Avaya (News - Alert), Technology Marketing Corporation, leading IP-PBX vendors and SIP trunking service providers to present the seminars, which will be free to all ITEXPO attendees.
 
“SIP Trunking is the next step in the evolution of enterprise communication, offering enterprises the opportunity to expand the use of SIP to support the protocol’s long-term promise of Unified Communications (News - Alert),” said Olle Westerberg, chief executive officer, Ingate Systems. “These seminars will provide vital information from the perspective of IP-PBX vendors, SIP trunking service providers and other distinguished voices in the industry.”
 
The seminars will provide an overview of SIP trunking, and include general information panels and technical insight sessions from both the service provider and enterprise perspectives. In addition, Ingate’s leading vendor and service provider partners, speakers from VOIPSA, ENUM/IETF and the SIP Forum will be participating.
 
New this season will be step-by-step, interactive whiteboarding sessions with Avaya to illustrate the what, why and how of SIP trunking architecture, along with SIP trunking boot camp for “basic training” on SIP trunk installations, led by Avaya and Ingate.
 
They will also present two case study seminars – one featuring a SIP trunking installation for American Idol’s production company – the other on bundled SIP trunk solutions to delve deeper into the issues.
 
“These seminars address a critical need among enterprises for in-depth information on SIP trunks. From sessions on security to hands-on technical training to solving specific installation problems taken from our audience, the SIP Trunk Seminars will have it all,” noted Anne L. Coulombe, director, unified communications products and solutions, Avaya. “We have always found these seminars to be enormously useful for our customers. It’s a great opportunity to hear from them and work through their questions and issues in a real-time format.”
 
Security sessions with VOIPSA will discuss VoIP and SIP trunk security. Additionally, a SIPconnect Compliance Workshop, presented by the SIP Forum, will provide an overview of the SIPconnect value proposition, a “Deep Dive” into the SIPconnect technical recommendation, a step-by-step overview of the SIPconnect Compliant Program application process.
 
Live demonstrations, during which participants will set up a SIP trunk in 20 minutes or less on-site, will also be featured. Attendees can earn a SIP Trunking Professional Certificate by participating in the Professional Development Program on the first day of the Show.
 
Confirmed Speakers include Avaya, BandTel, Bandwidth.com, BroadSoft, Broadvox, Cbeyond, Digium/Asterisk, Iwatsu, Mitel (News - Alert), ShoreTel and Voxitas. Thought leaders from the SIP Forum, VoIP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) and NeuStar/ENUM IETF will also participate.
 
“Ingate’s SIP Trunking seminar series is a unique opportunity for ITEXPO (News - Alert) attendees to get a crash course on SIP trunking from the experts,” said Rich Tehrani, president and group editor-in-chief, TMCnet. “We are proud to once again work with Ingate Systems, and Avaya, in providing these educational SIP trunking seminars at ITEXPO.”
