How to VoIP: Numerous Options, Critical Choices
(SP-01)

Tuesday - 09/01/09,  9:00-9:45am

ISPs entering the VoIP services arena face numerous choices in bringing a service offering to market. Among these, one of the most key decisions is in choosing a platform for offering the services. Some carriers have built their service offerings upon in-house systems utilizing various open source and internally developed components. Many ISPs choose to simply resell the services of another provider and merely take a commission of those sales. Other ISPs invest in commercial platforms which are installed on the ISP’s own premises. This session will use real world data to compare the cost vs. benefit and present an ROI for these options.

SIP Trunking Plus
(SP-02)

Tuesday - 09/01/09,  10:00-10:45am

While SIP Trunking is largely perceived as a low-cost replacement technology – exactly the sort of VoIP services that have traditionally sold well – it is also a doorway to a variety of services and applications that have a notable, growing audience. Once a SIP Trunking service provider can focus on individual applications that increase productivity, work better with mobility, improve the existing PBX functions and allow for growth, there is a huge potential for VARs and service providers to generate new, recurring monthly revenue through add-ons that are of great benefit – in both cost and functionality – to the enterprise. Also, what is very important to note is that with integration through the pre-existing SIP Trunk, there is little or no service disruption. Leveraging the powers of creativity, we call these services SIP Trunking Plus. In this session, the speaker will highlight several examples of applications that would be useful to the SMB market, and that SIP Trunking providers could easily add to their menu of products/services

Fiber & Wireless Backhaul – Two Technologies That Actually Feed Each Other
(SP-05)

Tuesday - 09/01/09,  1:45-2:30pm

Since the invention and commercialization of both fiber and wireless transport there has been a perception of competition between the two. Vendors positioned their products and services as a “one, or the other” choice. Very recently it has become very apparent to the mainstream buyer that fiber and wireless actually complement each other. There is probably no better example of this than with 4G wireless deployment and backhaul needs of wireless data from cell towers. This session will provide an overview of the current state of wireless backhaul over fiber, the benefits, where it is and is not happening, and why.

Maximize Your Investment with a Network Management Strategy
(SP-10)

Wednesday - 09/02/09,  10:30-11:15am

Companies across the globe are facing a perfect storm of information explosion — from VoIP to IPTV to secure content, and management fragmentation. This has put tremendous stress on IT departments and their ability to ensure delivery of key information, business and infrastructure services. What’s necessary is the ability to tie this information together — across what are disjointed domains — making it possible to manage the information delivery chain in an automated fashion. Companies need to have end-to-end service visibility and control across all silos, whether they be physical assets, virtual assets or mixed. Furthermore, the convergence of voice and data networks combined with growing overall traffic volume, increased numbers of discrete applications and a broadening array of systems and servers is presenting formidable challenges to the integrated network operations staff tasked with assuring voice and data service quality. This presentation will outline best practices for network operations managers and other staff managing voice and data service performance to integrate these three elements for cost-effective, simplified and proactive management.

Leveraging Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to Maximize Network Efficiency
(SP-11)

Wednesday - 09/02/09,  11:30-12:15pm

Many broadband service providers are beginning the process of embedding technology within their networks capable of treating each session flow — OTT video, VOIP, gaming, etc. — with the service quality it is engineered to expect. This puts content distribution networks (CDNs) in the position to deliver, for the first time, guaranteed quality of service. One key trend is the role for mobile CDNs. Current mobile networks have limited data throughput, less than a typical DSL connection. Simultaneously, devices such as the iPhone, G1, and others are encouraging dramatic increases in mobile data usage (both downstream and upstream). With these improved handsets, the network throughput has become the bottleneck in delivering high quality video. A variety of solutions to these challenges are being developed today, however, there’s room for significant debate on which solutions are best.

Network Planning to Ensure Quality of Experience
(SP-12)

Wednesday - 09/02/09,  1:15-2:00pm

Carriers are struggling to roll out new services as fast as possible without sacrificing Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. This task is especially difficult for IP-based services, which are more sensitive and prone to adverse network effects. Telecom operators will need to revise their operating models as they implement Next Generation Network upgrades. Provisioning, delivery, monitoring, maintenance, performance analysis, billing, management will become even more complicated as they attempt to deliver next-generation services. This session will explore the importance of proper network planning to smoothly introduce new products and services at optimal cost. It will also illustrate how integrating business planning, marketing and engineering enables carriers to build a network that handles service demand fluctuations in near real-time, giving customers the quality of service they expect.

Assuring Network Performance for High-Quality Video
(SP-14)

Thursday - 09/03/09,  9:30-10:15am

While much of the discussion around IP video is about content acquisition and delivery, quality assurance is the key to customer retention. As video traverses the IP network, ensuring correct timing, signaling and synchronization, as well as the ability to identify and remedy impairments is unglamorous, but crucial to successful IP video service offerings. The launch of any successful video service depends on the service providers’ readiness in the lab, and their capacity to act swiftly to acknowledge and address issues in the field. This session will discuss the various approaches to monitoring video streams, and how these approaches directly impact the residential and enterprise focused video services from a quality, and price, perspective.

Using IMS to Deliver Services Across 3 Screens
(SP-15)

Thursday - 09/03/09,  10:30-11:15am

With more and more service providers looking to deliver IP-based voice, data and video services to subscribers’ TVs, PCs, and mobile devices, the NGN/IMS architecture – which defines and standardizes network architectures to enable voice, data, and IP video service interoperability across networks – will play a critical role in handling video session initiation. IMS is also critical to maintain subscriber and session awareness when users switch from their TV to their mobile device and pause that stream to quickly make a voice call. Coupled with service delivery platforms (SDPs), which is where such blended services are created, the IMS architecture ensures these IP video services are delivered to the right subscriber and the right device.

This session will explore:
• How long it will take to achieve the converged NGN/IMS network down to the third screen on the mobile phone
• The role of the NGN/IMS architecture in delivering IP video across converged networks
• How SDPs deployed for IP video services will evolve to support the integration of mobile devices

Fused Vs. Bundled – The Next Evolution of Operator Services
(SP-17)

Thursday - 09/03/09,  2:00-2:45pm

As demand for bandwidth and mobility continues to grow, traditional telecommunications markets need to evolve to meet market changes. Service providers’ bundled services, a combination of voice, video and data, were the first step in giving consumers a converged network. Today, customers are looking for a way to make their daily lives easier using less electronics equipment, and service providers are looking to provide services that increase ARPU. To meet that need at home and at work, service providers are evolving their networks to support new services for entertainment and managing communications that are always-on, content-rich, and offer integrated use of voice, video and data that can be delivered to any end-user device.
