SIP: How Does it Work? Where Does it Fit?
Developing SIP Solutions
Jonathan Cumming, Director of Marketing,
Protocols Software, Data
Connection Ltd (DCL)
The interoperability and functionality supported by the SIP
protocol has improved in recent years, both in terms of
standardization and the availability of reasonable implementations.
However, there are still areas where either the standards are
lacking, or the implementations are out of date, and the reality of
a deployable SIP solution does not match the promise. This session
will explore these areas to explain what can be accomplished using
available SIP equipment and where to expect difficulties. We will
also discuss how the standards are evolving to resolve this
situation, as well as what support tools are available for
developers in this space.

and Presence Leveraging Extensions) for enterprises looking to
deploy the protocol into their infrastructure. Discussion will
include a review on SIP and the architecture needed to support it, a
full explanation of the SIMPLE protocol and its relationship with
SIP, and SIMPLE-centric applications like Presence Management,
Instant Messaging, and mobility tools. Security and third-party
development will also be explored.
1:30 -
2:15 pm
Call Control XML & SIP
RJ Auburn, Chief Technology Officer, Voxeo
Call Control XML (CCXML) is the W3C's specification for doing
advanced call control applications with VoiceXML. In this session
attendees will learn the basics of CCXML and how it applies to the
SIP world. The session will start off with a short overview of the
CCXML language including an overview of some sample application
source code to give attendees a feel for how the language is
structured. There will also be a review of the history of CCXML and
and its current status in the W3C standards process.
2:20 - 3:05 pm
Developing Presence Applications
Ray Ryan, Executive Vice President & CTO, iQ NetSolutions
Doug Tucker, CTO Americas, Ubiquity
Presence is the ability to know where people are, what devices can
be used to communicate with them, and the real-time status of those
devices. This session will present an overview on how to develop
presence applications with an eye toward deploying them in public
SIP networks, resulting in vastly-improved productivity tools that
foster communication between end users and customers, suppliers, and
other mission-critical parties.
3:15 - 4:00 pm
HMP Versus DSP — Battle of the CPUs
Speakers TBA
Host Media Processing is considered by many to be a disruptive
technology, promising a transition away from DSP-based media
processing. Yet, many experts concede that HMP will not completely
replace DSP, but serve as a complement for a wide range of
applications moving forward. This panel discussion will feature
speakers drawn from the ranks of both HMP and DSP vendors,
presenting their position on Host Media Processing versus Digital
Signal Processing. Attendees can expect a lively discussion
answering questions such as: What's reality and what’s hype? How can
a developer build both a low-cost enterprise application and a
highly-scalable application to meet large deployments? Is there a
common goal?

Developing IP Video Solutions
Eli Doron, CTO, RADVISION
Video over IP is taking off, in large part due to increased
broadband deployments and the ever more ubiquitous nature of IP.
Mobile phones and PDAs are all beginning to see tight camera
integration. Perhaps automobiles, MP3 players, and laptops will be
next. It is only natural to connect these camera weilding devices
and applications via videoconferencing and other exciting
applications like streaming. As the need for multimedia over IP
increases, so will the opportunities for developers to develop
standalone systems and to integrate video into other innovative
applications. Come learn how to develop solutions that take
advantage of the latest chips, codecs, and compression schemes. See

Wireless Apps for the Mobile User
Dale Hartzell, VP of Marketing,
Sand Cherry, Inc.
Brian Marquette, CTO, SandCherry, Inc.
Service providers and enterprises have made significant investments
over the past few years in Web-based applications, providing content
and service access to simplify or improve cost-effectiveness,
access, and efficiency. Being Web-based and thus data/text-oriented,
however, has limited these benefits to PC users - phone and mobile
users are either unable to use these applications or are given
cumbersome touchtone access to a limited set of functions. This
session will discuss developing a new breed of solutions designed to
offer the speech capabilities required for delivering applications
effectively to mobile users while extensively leveraging the
substantial investment in Web-based applications and infrastructure.
1:00 - 1:45 pm
Wireless Broadband
Dan Hochberg, VP of Marketing,
RADVISION
This session will focus on the technical issues of developing and
rolling out broadband applications over Wi-Fi, 2.5G, and 3G wireless
networks (CDMA-2000 and WCDMA). Included will be a discussion of the
evolving broadband wireless standards; the migration path and
challenges for service providers as they move from 2G to 3G; the
opportunities of true multimedia communications over these broadband
networks; interworking broadband endpoint and services with wireline
networks (TDM and IP) and various emerging applications that take
advantage of broadband mobility and functionality.
1:50 - 2:35 pm
Service Creation in Next-Generation Networks
Atul Varshneya, Principal Architect,
BayPackets
In today's highly competitive telecom environment, the most
effective way for service providers to differentiate themselves is
to deliver a rich set of enhanced services and to introduce new
services in their networks at an ever-increasing rate. To do this,
telecom operators need to be able to deploy a flexible service
introduction solution, which allows developers to create and deploy
robust (tested) services in the network. This session will address
the opportunities facing developers of VoIP applications as the need
for more innovative differentiated services continues to grow.
2:40 - 3:25 pm
VoIP-Enabled Apps for Collaboration
Jan Linden, VP of Engineering, Global IP
Sound, Inc.
There is an increased interest today in real-time collaboration.
Key to providing a complete solution is a VoIP soft client or VoIP
enabled application that will enable high-quality real-time voice
communication between users of the application. Making a sound
investment in a flexible framework that includes quality-enhancing
algorithms will guarantee faster time-to-market and a sound total
life-cycle cost, given the amount of redesign, support, and
maintenance any quality issues would otherwise generate. This
discussion will cover these and other issues that need to be
addressed in order to successfully offer voice capabilities.
3:30 - 4:15 pm
Migrating from TDM to IP:
Real-World Business and Technology Stories
Brough Turner, Sr. VP of Technology,
NMS Communications
Everybody's talking about it, we're convinced (maybe) of
the value, and a few leaders in the telecom ecosystem have done it,
actually making the move from a TDM-based environment or application
to IP. These transformations have involved more than a change in
enabling technology, itself no trivial undertaking. Business models
and operations have been re-cast. Target markets, partnerships and
alliances have been reassessed and renewed, reinforced or redefined.
A panel of those who've broken through to the other side will
discuss business and technical drivers, challenges, and rewards
experienced by infrastructure, enabling technology and application
providers.
Panelists will discuss:
- The specific business and market considerations involved in
planning a migration from a TDM to IP-focused business and
solution
- How companies are transitioning from enterprise to network
markets
- The different requirements of network operators and enterprise
customers for hosted and stand-alone solutions
- Technical strategies: ones that worked, and some that,
surprisingly, didn't
- How leaders communicate their new value propositions, often to
new audiences
4:15 - 5:00 pm
The Consumer VoIP 'Food Chain'
Moderator - Allan Armstrong, Program Director,
Communications Semiconductors, RHK, Inc.
Panelists - Marty Wachi, Director Strategic Product Development,
V-Tech/Advanced American Telephones
Pradyumna Sant Sr., Business Development Manager - Mobile and
Netcoms, Renesas Technology America, Inc.
Jeff Bonforte, CEO & President, SIPphone.com
Residential broadband deployment continues to grow unabated and
consumers are clamoring for VoIP services. This panel discussion
will address the complete product food chain required to deliver
VoIP services to consumers including software/hardware vendors,
OEMs, and service providers. Panelists will focus on OEM and service
provider requirements and how hardware and software vendors address
these considerations. Beginning with the feature, cost, size, and
support challenges faced by an OEM, the discussion will evolve to
include service provider provisioning, privacy, and management
needs. The presenters will discuss specific solutions including how
semiconductor product portfolios address VoIP devices inducing the
integration of crypto blocks and DSPs, codec, codec identification,
and package types. Finally, the panel will address the
considerations of embedded software environments including the
unique software issues faced by consumer VoIP devices such as custom
signaling integration, network topology traversal, device recovery,
QoS, remote management, and provisioning.
