Pre-conference interactive workshop: Monday 6th December 2004 VoIP World – the opportunities and threats of VoIP Led by Neil Kinder, Technical Director, EMEA & Latin America, Sonus Networks Sonus Networks, a pioneer in the voice over IP industry, will lead a full-day, interactive workshop dedicated to VoIP, covering the operational, business and competitive implications of this exciting technology. Clearly, VoIP is no longer the technology of the future – it is a reality today. Introduced in the late 1990s, carrier-class VoIP infrastructure solutions deliver the robust qualities and features that service providers require and have come to expect. In a relatively short period of time, many major carriers and service providers have successfully transitioned their voice networks from a circuit-switched architecture to the packet-based softswitch model, and many more will in the years to come. The move to a truly converged network, where applications and voice services are transport-independent, is fundamentally changing the way carries compete to serve their customers, and has the potential to redefine the structure of the industry. And VoIP is at the heart of this transformation. 08.30 Registration 09.00 Start of Workshop This interactive pre-conference workshop day will provide an overview of the opportunities and threats, and will address a variety of issues facing carriers today, including: * The new economic model of the VoIP business * Voice over IP technology – are the barriers falling? * VoIP from core to edge: how can VoIP benefit you? * The operational challenges of delivering on VoIP * Generating additional revenue – how can IP carriers deliver toll quality voice at IP prices? * The realities, cost and complexity of deploying a voice network * Thriving in a multi-protocol, multi-service environment: providing the scale and quality for VoIP 16.00 End of Workshop carriersworld.com
