returns to Internet Telephony Conference & Expo 2000!

IP (Internet Protocol) -based data networks have gained widespread popularity as the unifying platform to carry voice, video, fax, and data. IP Telephony Gateways have emerged as cutting-edge devices that allow the packetization and transportation of voice over IP, and also serve to bridge the gap between the traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and IP-based data networks, allowing voice calls to traverse voice and data networks seamlessly.

One of the considerable challenges facing the IP Telephony industry is a lack of standardization and interoperability among different vendors products. The ITU's H.323 protocol is the front-runner in the standards space, but there are also a number of other specifications competing for industry mindshare including SIP and MGCP. 

ConvergeNET is a TCP/IP-based network that will bring IP Telephony Gateways and Gatekeepers together in a proof-of-concept environment. The ConvergeNET platform will provide the means to interface various Gateways and Gatekeepers and examine their degree of standards compliance and interoperability.

ConvergeNET will be a network that we construct, allowing exhibitors to connect with other exhibitors for the purpose of proving that their Internet telephony products interoperate with others. Interoperability is crucial in the Internet telephony field and ConvergeNET will be the proving ground.

This year's participants will include:

Crystal Ballroom, Booth #
Grande Hall, Booth #
