Details for the conference and presentation are as follows: Event: VoIP Developer Conference Session Title: IMS & Wireline to Wireless Convergence Speaker: Pat Moran, VP, Partner Technology and Systems Engineering Time: 12:00 - 1:00pm PT Date: Tuesday, August 2, 2005 Location: San Francisco, CA Website: http://www.tmcnet.com/voipdeveloper In the progression of IP as the transport of choice for next-generation communications networks, IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is emerging as an important standard for the delivery of converged services. IMS is an open, standardized, operator friendly, next-gen multimedia architecture for mobile and fixed IP services. IMS is a VoIP implementation based on a 3GPP variant of SIP, and runs over the standard Internet protocol (IP). It is used by telecom operators on next-gen networks (which combine voice, data and video), to offer network controlled multimedia services. IMS & Wireline to Wireless Convergence - Panel Session Abstract Continued development of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) in mobile networks has created the framework necessary to converge fixed and mobile services using real time protocols. The presenter will discuss how the development and implementation of cornerstone technologies such as SIP, IPTV, and IMS are pushing the intelligence of the network beyond the core into its connected devices, blurring the distinction between premise, access network, and the edge. In addition, Mr. Moran will explore how the inclusion of new access methods into the network will not only introduce competition into the space, but will also create an additional battleground between Wireless and Wireline providers as operators seek to reclaim users lost to past mobile substitution.
