The land of Promise is the land where VoIP first took on the roots of commercial application. The world-leading event for the IP communications industry will take place in Tel Aviv, October 14-15 2007.
Israel has been the hot bed of IP communications. Israel raises over 1B in venture capital each year that has been weighted to technology start ups. Israel success is shown in the leading corporate names that have locations such as Intel, IBM, Microsoft and Motorola. But also the success of Israeli companies such as Audiocodes, ECI Telecom, Checkpoint, Comverse and RAD; companies that lead the 1,000+ companies in communications and related technologies. Israel’s corporate success can be seen by the 100+ companies publicly traded in the US markets.
In Israel itself the market is expanding as well with the privatization of Bezeq and the adoption of 3G wireless by the cellular providers reaching to a population that has adopted wireless already by 95%. But the consumer is also one of the most connected to broadband access which is why Israel is in the top 5 of connectivity.
And if all this was not enough to bring VON the Industry’s leading IP Communications event to t Israel, the 30,000+ engineers and the $10B (USD) of annual technology export business.
VON Israel will enable the virtual network of contacts to become a meeting of substance between people looking to present, partner, and produce winning strategies for servicing the VoIP market.
VON is more than Voice over Broadband
VON includes the wireless plays of WiFi for the ISP and IMS in the cellular market. VON also includes the network infrastructure equipment that matches the needs of a Greenfield market like Israel with the edge devices that allow the user to take advantage of worldwide applications.
Whether the request is for IPTV or Instant Messaging, VON has the community. And at VON Israel 2007 we’ll profit from face-to-face discussions about the near future and the current opportunities.
This is VON.
VoIP Happens Right Here.
