Track: IP Communications Development
(IP)
Intro to Standards
(IP-01)
Wednesday - 01/24/07, 8:30-9:15am
This vendor-neutral session will provide a realistic and practical overview of emerging IP standards of SIP, SIMPLE, BTXML, and other protocols, and how these technologies impact enterprise communications. Topics covered will include an explanation of the primary standards, an assessment of the state of the standards-based developer industry, and how future standards-based technologies can improve collaboration, mobility, and other business operations.

Will ATCA Bring Order out of Chaos?
(IP-02)
Wednesday - 01/24/07, 9:30-11:15am
Over the last few years a number of proprietary blade server platforms from IBM, HP, Dell, Intel and others have taken hold in the market, delivering much needed improvements in density, reliability, and manageability. Meanwhile, the standards-based AdvancedTCA architecture has finally become a reality, yielding a groundswell of interest from a long list of carriers and network equipment providers. This session will address the state of AdvancedTCA and explore whether AdvancedTCA will be able become the preferred form factor for telecommunications applications and overcome the momentum that proprietary offerings have in the market today.

Host Media Processing (HMP) Revisited
(IP-03)
Wednesday - 01/24/07, 1:00-1:45pm
Since the first host-media processing (HMP) products came to market, HMP has been rightly recognized as a disruptive technology. With product improvements such as higher channel counts, greater stability and comprehensive feature sets the market’s confidence has grown in this technology and views it as a viable alternative to the traditional DSP card based alternatives. This session reviews what HMP is, why you would use it, what you should look for in an HMP product, and for which types of applications it is best suited.

Achieving, Monitoring and Maintaining A High Quality of Experience
(IP-04)
Wednesday - 01/24/07, 2:00-2:45pm
This session will outline how lagging end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) can be the downfall of IP service providers if they continue heightened attention on service price cuts and neglect advancements in test and measurement technology.
This session will outline the key to successful, cost effective and time efficient measurement — enabled by the right technology. This session will demystify how service providers can move away from outdated subjective test methods and toward objective measurement of customer experience to provide meaningful metrics that carriers can track to real-time end-user experiences. The audience will learn how existing services can be adjusted accordingly to meet end-user demand and how technology can simplify carriers’ ability to quickly assess the performance of new offerings including 3G and IPTV services. This session is about achieving high levels of end-user quality of experience whether you’re on the end-user side or the service provider side — the next generation of IP services is dependent on quality.

Ensuring the Readiness of Next Gen Multimedia Applications & Services
(IP-05)
Wednesday - 01/24/07, 3:00-3:45pm
IMS is a continually evolving series of protocols and interface specifications designed to facilitate standards-based fixed/mobile, voice/data and voice/video convergence. With dozens of specifications — not all of which are standards-based, or set to become standards any time soon — these protocols may create some ambiguity in the development and implementation of communications services.
This presentation will address the need to conduct traffic simulation, equipment and device emulation, and other tests to ensure the IMS network and associated infrastructure can accommodate the traffic that will traverse these systems. Testing and stressing of different formats of SIP headers, handshakes across wireless and wireline networks and circuit-switched and packet-switched networks will be the first stage in testing. This will confirm that handshakes occur properly; errors, drops and retries are responded to in a timely manner using agreed-upon parameters, and that call accounting, authorization and access controls meet required policies.
