Security in a World of Open, Packet-based Networks Download the Presentations (800K)

Network security is a showstopper when it comes to deployment of IP-based networks and services. Systematic and consistent security policies must be implemented in order to provide security for customer networks, and between different networks. Areas of security concern among providers include SS7 firewall, packet filter¬ing, and optical control, and application-related security issues, to include voice application, messaging, firewall/NAT translation and transparency. This panel presentation will offer perspectives of both service providers and vendors on network security, and how operators are successfully safeguarding their networks

IPTV Content Delivery and Digital Rights Management Download the Presentations (1.2MB)

IPTV programming, video content and digital rights management are areas of intense scrutiny for service providers as they prepare to compete aggressively with cable TV. As carriers establish and announce content acquisition arrangements, numerous issues abound. How comfortable are content providers with the security and functionality of IPTV technology? How will carriers manage content in a manner that satisfies content providers? How will IPTV technology move secured content across the network? How are piracy concerns being addressed? This informative session will reveal how content providers and service providers are forging relationships and addressing technology concerns as IPTV moves forward.

WIMAX: Will Carriers Take the Leap? Download the Presentations (5.3MB)

WIMAX is being eyed with great anticipation by global service providers as a promising and powerful high-speed, fixed wireless broadband service. Certified WIMAX products are expected to enter the marketplace before the end of 2005, shortly followed by the certification of “mobile” WIMAX products. While industry-wide standards and certification should drive cost down, other technology challenges remain, to include spectrum availability which, if unresolved, could adversely impact equipment costs and interoperability. This session will explore both the technology and the business case for WIMAX – offering both the service provider and vendor perspective on this new and exciting technology.

E911 Services in the VoIP Environment Download the Presentations (900K)

Interconnected VoIP providers are now required by the FCC to provide reliable E911 emergency services as a standard feature, rather than an optional feature among interconnected VoIP service offerings. Interconnection agreements with carriers or with third party E911 service providers are options toward addressing the Commission’s ruling. This session will explore the technical issues surrounding reliable E911 services in the VoIP environment, as well as identify the deployment options available to VoIP providers.

IP Multimedia System: The Key to Convergence Download the Presentations (1.7MB)

IP Multimedia System (IMS) is gaining rapid industry support as the architecture of choice that will set the course for the evolution of the converged Next-Gen Network. Launched by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to support 3G wireless services, standards organizations such as the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and the European Standards Telecommunications Institute (ETSI) are supporting the implementation of IMS for purposes of “network agnostic” service delivery both inside and across wireless and wireline networks. This session will explore how service providers will define the migration path for IMS, and ultimately trial and deploy IMS-based services.

Building the Profitable Carrier Class Ethernet Service Download the Presentations (2.7MB)

The advantages of Ethernet services are cost-effectiveness, operations and customer management simplicity, and the ease with which carriers can achieve service interoperability. While Ethernet is a mature technology in many respects, the market for Ethernet Services is expected to double in size over two years, as standards organizations and service providers narrowly define Carrier Class Ethernet Service. This session will explore the attributes of Carrier Class Ethernet, and identify the business, residential and mobile service opportunities for Ethernet technology.
