Homer: Woo-hoo. Four-day weekend.

SIPit 20 (SIP Interoperability Test Event)

Date: April 16-20, 2007
Location: Flanders Congress and Concert Centre in Antwerp, Belgium
Host: Alcatel Lucent

The SIPit (SIP Interoperability Test Event) is the premier international test event for real-time IP communication using the Session Initiation Protocol. Twice a year, around one hundred companies engage at the SIPit for a week of testing to refine both the specification and implementation of the world's next communication infrastructure.

The purpose of the SIPit event - SIP interoperability test event - is to test for interoperability of SIP implementations, to determine the source of incompatibilities and if necessary to prepare a revision of the specification.

This event is open only to implementers with working SIP implementations. It is not a trade show, public demonstration, conference or workshop.

How will SIP and Presence transform business communications?

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is quickly evolving into the underlying technology for converged communication. SIP can support any type of communication session whether it is voice, video, or instant messaging. Presence is one of the exciting applications of SIP - it allows you to locate a user and determine their availability to communicate via phone, e-mail/text or video. Both people and applications can use presence information, providing the opportunity to integrate communications into business processes.

IMS at the crossroads

After years of uncertainty over standards and compatibilities, IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) technology has come to a crossroads, its acceptance spurred by carriers that want to cut costs and embrace the promise of next-generation networks, but full-scale deployments hampered by a lack of applications. Many IMS proponents, however, insist IMS is set to boom this year, with initial deployments by fixed and mobile carriers in Asia, Europe and the Americas already rolling out.
