Leaders from telecom, broadcast, and IP industry standards bodies and forums will convene at this year’s TelcoTV Conference and Expo for three days of exhibitions and presentations. The TelcoTV09 Conference and Expo is scheduled for November 10 through 12 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

ATIS’ IPTV Interoperability Forum (IIF) – a global leader in IPTV standardization – is participating in the event. The IIF focuses on the most critical aspects of IPTV’s effective deployment: broad industry agreement on both standards and the appropriate technology path. The IIF defines industry requirements, the overall industry reference architecture and critical standards to support various aspects of IPTV delivery, including Digital Rights Management and Quality of Service. The IIF is the leading developer of requirements, standards, and specifications for IPTV.

The IIF can be found in the TelcoTV Exhibit Hall’s Standards Pavilion. The Pavilion is located in the North Hall B, Booth #SP215.
