Nortel to Showcase VoIP at Upcoming NXTcomm 2007
At next week’s NXTcomm 2007 in Chicago, Nortel plans to show attendees and carriers how to best use increased bandwidth, how to save money, and how to take full advantage of VoIP service.
“Hyperconnectivity is fast becoming a reality. This industry trend is fueled by business and consumer demand for bandwidth-hungry services and applications like video, gaming and streaming music, as well as seamless connectedness all the time, anywhere, and on any device,” said John Roese, chief technology officer, Nortel. “At NXTcomm 2007, Nortel will showcase powerful, cost-effective innovations that will help carriers to benefit from this megatrend and provide the network capacity and the IP core essential to tomorrow’s wireline and wireless networks - critical to coping with the demand of a hyperconnected world.”
Nortel’s NXTcomm demonstrations will include:
- Carrier Ethernet, powered by Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), to enable Ethernet as the primary means of network transport. Ethernet is simple to deploy and maintain compared to other approaches and provides network agility, great bandwidth capacity and reach. Nortel and key industry solutions providers will launch the Carrier Ethernet Ecosystem at the show and, for the first time, demonstrate how PBT can seamlessly operate a multi-vendor environment.
- High Performance VoIP for regional carriers driven by the Nortel Communication Server 1500. This complete solution uses Ethernet transport and broadband access to replace today’s aging rural networks with a simple and inexpensive solution custom designed for small to medium carriers.
- A true mobile broadband experience delivered over WiMAX, including video conferencing and video surveillance on mobile devices. Nortel will also showcase an end-to-end solution for the delivery of VoIP over mobile WiMAX.
- New revenue-generating quadruple play services such as Interactive web-based applications blended with entertainment and communications over IMS. This demonstration will showcase a voting application integrated with IPTV and IMS and include communications with a call center operator and mobile subscriber.
- New carrier SIP applications including Fixed-Mobile Convergence with Call Grabber functionality, Web Services and, from the Nortel Microsoft Innovative Communications Alliance, computer desktop applications that enable instant messaging, click-to-call, voicemail and conferencing capabilities.
