Why Fall 2007 VON?

• What enhancements are gained when supporting presence and positioning?
• How does an IMS platform help or hinder third party development?
• When supporting mobility are applications distributed as well?
• With enterprise oriented app servers coming into telecom what are the requirements?
• What is the impact of being able to provide end to end IP communication?
• How can feature interaction be avoided and rapid service development be achieved?

• Application Focused Discussions!
  VON has always been about ways to make revenue and differentiating a service from other solutions. The emphasis of the show will be to take us back to our roots and provide the people who are delivering the differentiation the opportunity to speak.
• Technologies with a Purpose!
  SIP is the protocol of record for applications in most companies, and IP Multimedia Subsystems is the wrapper that carriers trust to give them an advantage. Find out more about this advantage that they are looking for, third party development, at VON.
• Mobility Infrastructures!
  The ability to deploy using a wide range of mobile technology forces questions about implementation. Is it possible to build an alternative service model that truly is technology independent while providing access services at the same time? Explore the wide range of opportunity for delivering voice, video and data applications.
• Innovators in Action!
  The fifth track is a lightly moderated "unconference" where startups and developers gather together. Hear the innovators share the new capabilities web 2.0 has brought to service creation Demos and hot topics will be interweaved in a track that not only show what is new, but answers the question, "Why now?" Web development is at the center of telecom's apps these days. If you are looking for the new and exciting sit back and prepare to be amazed.
