Open Your Mind to a Beating Heart of IP
(E-02)
Wednesday - 01/25/06,  11:15am-Noon
Most of us have heard the negative arguments as to why IP solutions can’t be trusted to run your business communications on — well this session is aimed at anyone with such doubts. Many early communication product propositions had the IP aspects bolted on, rather than being an intrinsic part of the design. As the technology developers have become increasingly familiar with the latest silicon and software we’re starting to see the real ‘ground up’ designs coming through, which have IP at the core and TDM connectivity as an option. This session will highlight some typical ‘old and new’ architectures that many of the audience need to be aware of, along with the key benefits of selecting a beating heart of IP for their communication solution.

Peer to Peer IP Telephony
(E-03)
Wednesday - 01/25/06,  1:00-1:45pm
Peer-to-Peer VoIP is a potentially disruptive force that is taking the IP telephony market by storm. Or perhaps, “incrementally by storm.” Little by little, bit by bit, this approach to VoIP is increasingly taking hold. Proponents tell us that P2P VoIP addresses issues such as scalability, security, redundancy that are required in enterprise and service provider implementations, while supporting basic as well as innovative features. Come to this session to see what all the fuss is about.

Throwing voice packets onto a LAN and hoping for the best is easy. Deploying high-quality VoIP is a bit more challenging. This session will address the need for service quality management and how unleashing the network infrastructure, enforcing a centralized policy for end-to-end QoS, and controlling network resources on a proactive basis can deliver high levels of quality for IP communications. The session will also address related issues of bandwidth shaping and equalizing technology that are designed to enable IT professionals to manage their enterprise voice and data network.

Clearing the Way for VoIP in the Branch Office — What’s The Hidden Cost?
(E-09)
Thursday - 01/26/06,  2:30-3:15pm
Today, VoIP is being deployed in the branch office at a steady rate — up to 10 percent a year, according to Yankee Group. However, merging voice and data networks can cause significant problems, including bandwidth issues, a lack of networking standards and the need for traffic management solutions to prioritize voice traffic. Each of these challenges bring hidden costs that can offset the financial benefits of VoIP if not addressed properly. This presentation will discuss ways that corporations with multisite branch office networks can utilize the latest technologies to ensure a successful VoIP deployment. Attendees will learn how to avoid the common challenges, such as performance, IP resource sharing, and traffic prioritization for successful VoIP implementation as well as dealing with issues such as latency and jitter with packet fragmentation
