IP Services for Wireless Networks Karan Ponnudarai Narus, Inc. KaranP@narus.com
Description :

Wireless service providers are in a prime position to take advantage of new and advanced service offerings. However, because there has been no comprehensive, reliable way to identify and bill in real time for the different kinds of traffic on their networks, there has been little incentive to introduce these services. Now there are infrastructure tools that allow wireless service providers to easily see in real time what kind of traffic crosses their network, and charge users according to the differing values of services provided. These tools will enable wireless service providers to roll out new services, stay competitive, and reap sustainable revenue.

Building the Business Infrastructure for Delivering Wireless Data and Internet Services Stephen Cheng Portal Stephen@portal.com
Description :

Today's wireless and Internet technologies and companies are rapidly converging to enable a new class of mobile Internet technologies that combine the richness of Web content with the mobility of wireless devices. As a result, wireless data and Internet service providers are now able to take full advantage of these two growing business opportunities to deliver new, value-added services to their customers. As the wireless Internet industry matures, we will see many chnges occur to carriers' business and billing models. The major shift will be from using simple, flat-rate monthly billing models to more sophisticated IP-oriented billing strategies that include price-tiering, cross-product promotions, loyalty programs, content revenues, and others.

This presentation looks at the emerging trends in wireless data and Internet applications and sercvices and the impact of those trends on Internet business models. This presentation then goes on to examine the critical technology requirements for successfully delivering wireless data and Internet services, and discusses how Portal Software. Inc. delivers the industry's most complete and effective customer management and billing solution for providers of wireless Internet applicatoins and services.

Attendees will learn;
- How next-generation customer management and billing services support wireless data and Internet services
- How a comprehensive real-time system can become the ultimate competitive weapon
- How to use "smart rating and billing" features to take advantage of emerging new business opportunities and rate, track, and analyze customer usage and billing as it happens

Next generation networks and services Hussam(sam)
Ramadan
Lucent ramadan@lucent.com
Description :

In today¡¯s information age, just about the only thing you can be sure of is rapid, constant change. Demand for new services, deregulation, and the convergence of voice and data networks are shaping the future of the information age in the 21st century. Consumers as well as corporate demands have dramatically increased for new applications and services. E-commerce, unified messaging, collaboration, and customer relationship management are among applications integrated and hosted by a service provider. For service providers developing next-generation networks and services, the ability to keep pace with that change means the difference between success and failure. Traditional connectivity service offerings will no longer suffice to remain competitive and profitable in the new information age.

In this presentation the speaker will explore the forces driving the pace of change, and steps service providers must take to stay competitive. The speaker will also discuss the evolution and capabilities of next generation networks in providing hosted services such as e-commerce.

Attendees will learn about

-Changes in the rapidly changing telecommunications world
-Evolving next

-Next generation services

Moving the Intelligent Network applications into the Internet Vincent Wong Lucent Technologies vwong@
lucent.com
Description :

Application service providers include a new generation of companies that manage high-availability data centers that deliver application-hosting services. In the ASP value chain, the ASPs partner with the content or application suppliers and deliver the services to the business-to-business and business-to-customer through the Network Service Providers. The business model is based on monthly recurring charges, where each service provider in the chain will realize its share of revenues predictably as their customer base grows.

While it looks promising when the application portals are coupled with Internet for access and delivery, it also creates unprecedented changes to the infrastructure of the NSPs towards the explosion of bandwidth and packet based services demand. This presentation will examine some of the problems of these changes and how Intelligent Networks will serve as an enabling technology to deliver the Next Generation network services and killer applications for the value chain, opening up new revenue streams beyond the conventional software delivery business model.

The Economics of a Profitable Enhanced Messaging Service Tim Lambie NetCentric Corporation tlambie@
netcentric.com
Description :

Despite the rise in the use of email, fax communication continues to grow at a remarkable rate of nearly 30 percent compounded annually. The avergae fax machine generaties approximately $8,750 per year in usage charges. The average Fortune 500 corporation spends approximagely 40 percent of its annual telecommunications bill on fax transmission. Fax transmissions generate a global annual telephone bill in excess of $100 billion.

In this presentation, Mr. Lambie will discuss the advantages of Internet faxing over PSTN faxing, and the business case for companies and NSPs to develop the Internet as the next generation telephony backbone for fax communications.

Attendees will learn;
- Internet fax operation options
- How FoIP works with desktops, fax machines, LAN fax servers, and production fax applications
- The scope of service offerings for Internet fax-point-to-point, broadcast, indbx, e-fax
- Service provider economics of fax as an Internet telephony service

Wormhole Caching and Multicasting for Internet Content Distribution Philip Chen OrbLynx Inc pchen@orblynx.com
Description :
Internet expansion has created a "bigbang" problem for content users and content providers. Based on a wormhole concept in the Web space, IDS (Internet Distribution System) provides a comprehensive solution for linking both ends of the network. An HTTP Push protocol, a reliable IP multicast service and a Content Management Framnework will be discussed. Comparison with others technologies will be discussed also.
Implementation of IP Multicast Streaming via Satellite Network David T Khim, Ph.D Techsystem Limited khim.david@

Description :

- IP Based Multicast Streaming over Satellite : Concept
- Multimedia Satellite System Configuration
- Global Standard : DVB/MPEG2
- Client and Server Applications for Streaming
- Scrambling of Streams - Scheduler
- Case Study : SpeedCast Satellite ISP

Satellite can be the optimum carrier for IP based multicast stream. Multicast streaming service was basically designed to serve point to multi-point receiver site, but standard Internet protocol is designed mainly to support point to point communication protocol.

IP Stream can be generated from stream server applications such as Netshow Server. The IP-DVB Gateway has a function to transform this IP packet into standard DVB/MPEG2 stream. Multiplexer combine this standard DVB/MPEG2 stream with any other standard video or audio stream and transfer to satellite uplink facility.

Streams can be originated from Netshow Servers, Real Audio and Video Servers, Silicon Graphics Streaming Tools etc. The only requirement is that the streaming tools use the IP protocol for the transport of their data.

Streams can be sent out in Free to Air (FTA) Mode or in scrambled mode. In FTA mode streams are receivable on any DVB compliant receiver card. In scrambled mode the broadcast can be specifically addressed to those receivers with certain access rights. Scrambling of streams can be done at two different lays; 1) IP Packet Layer, 2) DVB Layer. The software scrambling system on IP packet layer have more precise control over the multimedia data delivery and it can also be highly flexible and easy to implement to many standard receivers in the market.

DVB scrambling mechanisms were originally designed with TV broadcasting in mind can be used for the scrambling of multimedia streams. They are however not flexible enough for the scrambling of file transfers.
