STOCKHOLM – January 12, 2009 – Educating end users, resellers, distributors and systems integrators about SIP trunking is on the agenda as Ingate® Systems partners with TMC, leading IP-PBX vendors, SIP trunking service providers and industry thought-leaders to offer “SIP Trunking: Everything You Need to Know” seminars at the INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & Expo East 2009.


Free to all ITEXPO attendees, these seminars will provide a comprehensive overview of SIP trunking, and include general information panels and technical insight sessions from both the service provider and enterprise perspectives. Speakers from VOIPSA and the SIP Forum will also participate.


The seminars will be held February 2-4, 2009 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in room B114/115.


SIP trunking is a secure, cost-effective way for enterprises to adopt SIP. For carriers and VARs, it is a powerful way to build business. SIP trunking also represents an opportunity to expand the use of SIP to support the protocol’s long-term promise of Unified Communications,” said Anders Eriksson, chief executive officer, Ingate Systems. “These seminars provide vital information from the perspective of IP-PBX vendors, SIP trunking service providers and other distinguished voices in the industry. We are thrilled to have such a strong group of panelists to provide their unique perspectives on SIP trunking.”


Session for Carriers with J. Arnold & Associates

A new session, Just for Carriers: SIP Trunk Intensive Workshop,” will feature an in-depth analysis on SIP trunks to address the unique needs of this audience. The seminar will be presented by Jon Arnold, principal, J. Arnold & Associates and Marc Robins, president and managing director, SIP Forum, followed by a crash course in deploying SIP trunks with Avaya and Ingate.

The ROI of SIP Trunking

Case studies detailing real-world deployments will illustrate how SIP trunks deliver a significant return-on-investment. These seminars will be presented by the SIP trunking users themselves as well as their partner ITSP and/or IP-PBX vendors. In addition, J. Arnold & Associates will present a Technology Survival Roadmap session discussing opportunities for today’s economy.


Security Seminars, Live Demos, “How-To” Sessions on Deployments

Security sessions with VOIPSA will discuss VoIP and SIP trunk security. Step-by-step, interactive whiteboarding seminars with Avaya and BandTel will illustrate the what, why and how of SIP trunking architecture as well as the ITSP perspective. A SIP Trunking Boot Camp for “Basic Training” on SIP trunk installations, led by Ingate, is free for all attendees this season.
