SIP Trunking Issues and Trends Emerge as a Key Theme at VON Enterprise in Atlanta December 4-6, 2006
BEVERLY, Mass., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Pulvermedia today announced
that it will host numerous events discussing SIP Trunking technologies at
the VON Enterprise Conference and Expo, December 4-6, at the Cobb Galleria
Centre in Atlanta, Georgia.
On Monday, December 4th, Pulvermedia's Vice President of Content &
Community, Carl Ford, will lead sessions discussing SIP Trunking standards
(from 1:30 - 2:30 PM), which will be followed by a session highlighting
carrier and vendor perspectives (from 2:45 - 4:00 PM). On Tuesday, December
5th, Carl will host the "Birds-of-a-Feather" session (from 6:00 - 7:00 PM)
discussing future opportunities associated with SIP Trunking, and
evaluating the issues that remain to be addressed in order to bring these
opportunities to market.
Senior level executives from BellSouth, Cbeyond, GlobalTouch Telecom,
iBasis, Ingate Systems, Level 3 Communications, NeuStar, Quintum
Technologies, Sphere Communications, and many others will share their
insights and opinions during these sessions.
Sip Trunking is gaining rapid popularity because of its ability to
provide local, toll-free, nationwide, and international calling services at
rates much lower than traditional analog services. Beyond cost, SIP
Trunking is having a profound influence on the way enterprises buy
equipment and select services from carriers.
"This technology is poised to fundamentally change the way companies
communicate, by blending premise equipment with network services to
distribute tailored calling features around an enterprise -- where they're
needed -- and all at a lower cost," said Carl Ford, Vice President of
Content and Community for Pulvermedia. "SIP Trunking helps companies apply
logic to where their features and functions are deployed, and we're going
to discuss all of the issues and opportunities associated with this
important trend next week at VON Enterprise."
VON Enterprise s a one-stop opportunity for companies, and executives
who are looking to set strategic directions, evaluate the latest IP
communications technologies, deploy solutions, and quantify the
return-on-investment for IP voice and video offerings. For additional

VON Europe Autumn 2006 -- Report from the floor
BERLIN, Germany -- The buzz was strong Tuesday as conference and Expo Delegates converged on the expo floor for the second day of VON Europe Autumn 2006 here. Exhibitors demonstrated the latest in software, infrastructure, testing and management tools designed to enable voice and video to be delivered via IP.
The buzz continued as the Expo Theaters kicked off the on-show-floor education programs with Nokia discussing mobility issues and Sonus discussing IMS architecture. Both sessions drew standing room only crowds. Many pre-planned and impromptu meetings are taking place both on and off the Expo floor.
Thorsten Deutrich, CEO of Communipen, one of the exhibiting companies at VON Europe, said the following: "This is the best expo that I have ever been at. I have been in non-stop conversations since the show floor opened two hours ago." When asked about the attendees, Mr. Deutrich said," The attendees are the highest quality. I have been talking to buyers from Germany, Canada, Australia and Qatar. This is truly a worldwide audience." Communipen is a company that chose VON Europe as the venue to launch their company and their new VoIP solution.
VON Europe 2006 Autumn continues through Wednesday.
