Wireless VoIP 2007

Evaluating the impact of Mobile Technology on the IP Telephony market

18th-20th September 2007, London, UK

CONFERENCE BACKGROUND

Voice over IP is emerging as a viable technology option, seen by many as a disruptive technology that will have a fundamental impact on the telecoms landscape. The explosion of brands like Skype has sparked interest with multinational corporations, who can see the full market potential of the solution. But is VoIP an opportunity or a threat? This conference will tell you.

VoIP is now challenging established technologies with the introduction of products and services that meet the needs of modern business and techno-savvy consumers, Providers are consequently looking for ways to offer VoIP services to consumers. In the enterprise, IP-based and hosted IP telephony services are gaining in importance, and are now replacing TDM-based products. Traditional PBX vendors are also being forced to develop products that are IP based. This conference will tell you which markets will see the highest growth in PBX and hosting IP telephony lines and revenues. In the consumer market, ISPs are beginning to challenge fixed-line service providers by promoting VoIP as a second line that includes added benefits such as free and cheap rate calling.

VoWLAN and Wi-Fi communications products and services are also starting to appear in the enterprise and consumer markets. This is forcing handset vendors to develop new products to meet the demand created by implementation of these technologies. Other companies are also developing products and services including handsets for both VoWLAN and Wi-Fi.

Fixed-line and mobile operators are equally affected by VoIP, and face several threats that are forcing them to re-formulate their business plans. ISPs have started offering inexpensive VoIP call services, which erodes the revenue of traditional operators. This erosion is occurring simultaneously as that experienced as a result of fixed-mobile substitution. This conference evaluates measures that can be adopted by operators to counter these threats and exploit the potential opportunities on offer.
