ITSF begins with a workshop and is planned as a user-focused review of the main reasons why synchronization is important in telecom networks. It will be delivered by leading industry experts covering the current status of synchronization and all delegates, even those with a sound knowledge of synchronization, its origins, definitions and practical implementations, are expected to benefit from the presentations. ITSF 2006 will present a unique opportunity to share knowledge and network with the experts in the field from all areas of synchronization.


Charlie Ferreira, business development director at Symmetricom and steering group member of the ITSF commented, "A global technological revolution is currently underway in the telecommunications industry, the like of which has not been seen since black and white TV evolved to color in the 1960's. Many carriers are now implementing their strategies to migrate their networks to an all IP or packet based infrastructure. This is seen as essential if they are to maintain their cost competitiveness as all users demand greater capacity utilizing more flexible and less expensive bandwidth. The debate in Prague will analyze the ways of transporting both time and timing through these next generation networks."
