How Interoperability Accelerates the Launch of FMC Services and Application
Monday 25th September 2006 | Led by: Leo Nikkari,
Executive Chair, MobileIGNITE & Alan
Hadden, President, GSA
MobileIGNITE will be leading a workshop on fixed-mobile convergence and
how the launch of services can be accelerated through interoperability.
We will examine what is going on in the market and look at any services
launched. Throughout the session we will focus on key interoperability
issues and the applications and services needed in a FMC deployment. MobileIGNITE
will examine the best practices around three key areas:
IMS Handover, Messaging and Presence and FMC based IP-Centrex
/ IP-PBX for the enterprise
