Webcast Alert: OPEN NETWORKS: The Challenges of the Anywhere/Everywhere World of Telecommunications

BOSTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- In a perfect world of "open" networking, telecom operators function in an environment built on collaboration and coexistence with immense benefits for all. In the real world however, complex market forces such as the rise of the mobile Internet and social networking are forcing networks into a new level of competition. Today, operators must satisfy the growing expectations of customers by offering more devices, services and applications in a world where the device in the user's hand will work as well on a competitor's network as on their own.

How can operators successfully manage the next generation of IP networks? Can they find solutions that:

    -- allow them to fully capitalize on the transition to an IP environment?
    -- will securely handle millions of fixed, mobile and converged voice,
       data and multimedia SIP sessions simultaneously at unprecedented
       speeds?
