Track: SIP Workshop
(SIP)

Basics of SIP
(SIP-01)
Thursday - 01/26/06,  8:30-9:15am
You continually hear about SIP, but do you find yourself bewildered by the buzzwords and terminology? Wish someone would tell you what a SIP Proxy was, and why it might feel the need to fork? What advantages does SIP bring? Why should I move now? This ‘back to basics’ session will take a high level look at the SIP protocol and the power it puts in the hands of application developers and solution architects. The presenters will discuss the building blocks required to put together a SIP deployment so you can talk with confidence about how the next generation of telephony products will be built!

SIP Interoperability
(SIP-02)
Thursday - 01/26/06,  12:30-1:15pm
SIP is a promising protocol in VoIP due to its simplicity and flexibility. For better or worse, the barriers for developing SIP-compliant devices have dropped significantly. You can find SIP products from developers who work out of their garage. For carriers who operate SIP-based networks that interoperate with this garage-baked equipment, it is crucial that they can compensate and improve the speech quality from the low-budget equipment so that the overall voice experience does not degrade. This presentation examines these SIP interoperability issues in detail and provides practical solutions for carriers who are facing speech quality issues in their networks.

An Industry Initiative to Define IP PBX to Service Provider Peering
(SIP-03)
Thursday - 01/26/06,  1:30-2:15pm
Sometimes new product development reaches beyond the boundaries of one company and requires an entire industry effort. In early 2005, Cbeyond Communications teamed up with leading suppliers of PBX and hosted VoIP solutions to develop a standards-based approach for interfacing IP PBXs with VoIP service provider networks. In this presentation, the panel will explore the promise of enabling direct, seamless IP peering between IP PBXs and VoIP-enabled service providers. The strengths of the SIPconnect specification will be discussed as well as the opportunity to accelerate adoption of advanced IP and SIP-based solutions.

Testing SIP Services Over IP
(SIP-04)
Thursday - 01/26/06,  2:30-3:15pm
This session will provide step-by-step instruction on how to implement a robust SIP services testing program. From testing SIP entities, such as user agent servers, SIP proxy/redirect servers, location servers, registration servers, and application servers to SIP interconnection devices such as gateways and mediators, it is critical to test for standard compliance and signaling integrity as well as check performance under real-life and stress load conditions. Delegates to this session will have the opportunity to gain clear insight into what common pitfalls to avoid and what practical guidelines to apply in architecting a VoIP network that will deliver high-quality, high-reliability SIP-based services.

Traversing The Firewall for SIP Call Completion
(SIP-05)
Thursday - 01/26/06,  3:30-4:15pm
Real-time person-to-person communications are fast becoming a critical communications tool for enterprises of all sizes. With the standardization of SIP as the Internet protocol for applications such as VoIP, instant messaging, presence, and video, businesses are eager to adapt their existing hardware to accept SIP quickly, cost-effectively and securely. Traversing the firewall is a tricky proposition when integrating SIP into any enterprise. This session will cover the basics of SIP, its history, evolution, and predictions for the future, with a focus on solutions for traversing the firewall for SIP-based communications.

Why SIP Will Dominate Enterprise IP Telephony
(SIP-06)
Friday - 01/27/06,  8:30-9:15am
As demand for IP telephony and SIP services and implementations continues to accelerate, the public telephone network faces change. A mainstay of the global economy for the past ten decades, it is losing ground to a network of world-wide IP communications integrated with simple, secure, standards-based, applications-rich implementations and services. There can be little doubt of the important role that SIP will play in facilitating this transition and enabling powerful enterprise applications that reduce cost, improve user productivity, and strengthen customer interactions. Some vendors will be slow to appreciate and take advantage of this opportunity. They may focus their energies on attempting to retrain the transition rather than exploring its possibilities. Come to this panel to learn more!

SIP & Session Border Control
(SIP-07)
Friday - 01/27/06,  12:15-1:00pm
A relatively recent development, session border controllers are playing and ever increasing role in next-generation network design. Many service providers and carriers depend on session border controllers (SBCs) to provide peering functionality between networks. However, many SIP advocates complain that SBCs break the SIP architecture and are harmful to the overall adoption of SIP in general. This presentation will explore the role of SBCs in pure SIP networks, and analyze standard compliant ways of providing similar functionality without breaking SIP architectural rules.

Service Provider Issues Relating to SIP
(SIP-08)
Friday - 01/27/06,  1:15-2:00pm
As support for SIP continues to grow, creation of SIP-based services becomes a key element for developers to focus on as they scramble for market leadership. This session will provide a close look at examples of promising enterprise, wireless, and wireline applications of SIP, including Push-to-Talk, Infotainment, and the like. The speaker will also focus on the promising wireless applications enabled by SIP as well as the technology and market challenges facing the SIP community.
