Leading IP Communications Conference Comes to San Diego Convention Center Next Month

Norwalk, CT, [Sept. 14, 2006] — Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) today released an updated conference agenda for their INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2006 in San Diego featuring newly added sessions created to educate service providers seeking to profitably deploy ‘Triple Play’ solutions to their subscribers. Triple play refers to a bundled offering of digital voice, video and data services from a single provider.

The new Triple Play Solutions conference track will take place Friday, Oct. 13, 2006, day four of INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2006, which runs October 10-13, 2006 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.

According to TMC president and conference chairman Rich Tehrani, “Intense competition among service providers has made it virtually impossible for service providers to drive profits by offering traditional ‘per minute’ pricing models to their subscribers. As IP communications and broadband telephony create even more choices for businesses and consumers, ‘Triple Play’ bundles hold the greatest potential for providers to turn a profit on their offerings.”

The Triple Play Solutions track at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2006 features the following individual sessions:

”Architecture and CPE: A Vision for the Triple/Quad Play Connected Home/Subscriber” (presented by Comverse); “Managing Triple/Quad Play Services” (presented by Rodopi Software (News - Alert)); “Preparing Home Networks for the Triple Play” (presented by Ruckus Wireless); and “Quality-of-Service (QoS) - Enabling Triple Play (Voice, Video, Data)” (presented by Jungo Software Technologies).

In addition to the Triple Play Solutions Track, INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2006 features more than 125 individual educational sessions for service providers, large and small enterprises, SMBs, developers and resellers.

Important topics covered include IPTV (News - Alert), IMS, IP security, IP contact centers, voice peering, open source, wireless/mobile, solutions for verticals, regulations, SIP, and IP conferencing.
