Introduction To WiFi Telephony
(W-01)

Thursday - 01/26/06, 8:30-9:15am

Mobility in the enterprise is quickly becoming a major consideration on a customer’s wish list. As more companies investigate the costs and benefits of wireless communications, they face a number of questions specific to deploying 802.11. This session will discuss many of these issues, including network security, delivering enterprise-specific features throughout an 802.11 network, technical considerations when integrating 802.11 into an existing converged infrastructure, and vendor-neutral practical applications.

Application Performance Requirements for VoWiFi Network Design
(W-03)

Thursday - 01/26/06, 1:30-2:15pm

Are wireless networks and technologies mature enough to deliver voice? It’s certainly easier to successfully deliver data than voice. Data can be rapidly transmitted without worrying about the effect of network delay, latency, QoS, etc. WLAN providers, equipment manufacturers, network designers and operators must now prove that WLANs and wireless handsets can meet the strict network performance requirements required for high-quality delivery of voice. To achieve acceptable voice quality, they must understand relevant performance requirements that affect the network’s ability to manage voice and other real-time applications. This presentation will discuss performance requirements and the emerging standards that are being developed to support voice.
