In addition to carrier participants, SIPNOC has also attracted a myriad of SIP community stakeholders from vendors, governments and research organizations such as Acme Packet (which has also signed on as a SIPNOC Diamond Sponsor), the FCC, Avaya, Cisco Systems, Microsoft Corp., IBM Research, CableLabs, Dialogic, Broadsoft, Ingate Systems, MetaSwitch, Polycom, Commetrex, Sonus, Sagemcom Canada, NGN Data Services Corp. and the Illinois Institute of Technology. The SIP Forum has also developed a world-class lineup of speakers at SIPNOC, which will be announced in detail shortly. "When we initiated SIPNOC, we knew we were embarking on a new type of event for the industry and that there would be interest, and the response we have received has justified our enthusiasm, and then some," said SIP Forum Managing Director, Marc Robins. "We expect this event to be far more than just an educational conference, but a meeting of the brightest industry minds from across the entire spectrum of the global networking operator community.  Our vision for SIPNOC is to make it a place for network operators of all shapes and sizes to come together to share their perspectives and ideas on how to make IP communications better, and hopefully provide tangible results that further accelerate the development and propagation of SIP and SIP services in the years ahead. " SIPNOC will focus on issues critical to the reliable and successful deployment and operation of SIP-based services in carrier networks. The agenda will feature special presentations and panel discussions covering key topics by network operators related to SIP-based services and infrastructure, including security, application development, SIP trunking, FoIP, HD Voice, call routing and peering, troubleshooting and monitoring, establishing performance metrics, SIP and IPv6, large-scale SIP interoperability, emergency services and more. While the international carrier and service provider community is the lynchpin of the event, industry stakeholders involved in major SIP initiatives such equipment vendors, government representatives, large enterprises and research organizations are encouraged to attend.
