Featured Speakers

Ted Fagenson, Executive Vice President, Strategic Business Development, 2Wire

• Session: Addressing Femtocell Integration Challenges
• Description: Mobile operators are looking at femtocells as a means to introduce new revenue generating services and offer consumers the advantages of fixed-mobile convergence. However, before femtocells become a viable solution, several challenges need to be addressed. As more access points are added to the network, the technological integration and convergence becomes a key factor for the success of femtocells. This session will address the femtocell integration challenge and the benefits, disadvantages and market drivers behind different femtocell architectures.

• Session: What Will It Take to Deploy IPTV?
• Description: According to industry analyst firm iSuppli, the number of IPTV subscribers in Europe alone is projected to more than triple in 2007, reaching nearly 7 million homes. In five years from today, that number is projected to climb to 47 million. A leading U.S. carrier admitted that “rolling out IPTV is much more complex than people thought it would be.” The challenges range from the use of middleware, which must be integrated from a variety of sources and disparate technologies, to one of the main barriers to widespread roll out and adoption of IPTV services — the issue of bandwidth constraints of the current telecom infrastructure. The speakers in this session will discuss the hurdles of bringing IPTV successfully to market and the standards and specifications that need to be addressed before IPTV is adopted by the masses and reaches the point of market saturation.

• Session: Accelerating IMS Deployment
• Description: Telecom is undergoing a transformation in the face of rapid adoption of new, bandwidth-intensive applications. As carriers wrestle with the growth of bandwidth-intensive applications, IMS emerges as a promising choice for two key reasons. First, IMS promises to unify the delivery of many different types of services using common networks and protocols, which in turn leads to the development of an array of services. Second, IMS enables consumers to receive services from different providers, creating competition and better pricing, while decreasing the types of infrastructure that network providers are required to support. The presentation will discuss trends in IMS as well as key market drivers need to bring new applications to market quickly.
