Brooktrout Perspective on SIP to be Presented at Voice on the Net Europe 2005 NEEDHAM, Mass., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brooktrout Technology will be presenting at the VON Europe 2005 Conference next week in Stockholm, Sweden. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990806/BRKTTECH ) Where: Voice on the Net Europe, Stockholm International Fairs, Stockholm, Sweden, Stand 839 When: 23 -- 26 May, 2005 What: Brooktrout Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media processing, and call control products, today announced that its Senior Product manager for IP, James Rafferty, will participate in two panels at the upcoming Voice on the Net Europe in Stockholm, Sweden. On May 25th, Mr. Rafferty will bring his SIP knowledge to an expert panel addressing the topic of "TISPAN: Migrating the PSTN to SIP", where he will examine issues concerned with technology adoption. It is rare that a network starts from scratch with all- new technology. In fact, more often than not, the shift from one paradigm to another involves several years of migration. ETSI's TISPAN Standards Activities is helping carriers plan their migration for landline services so that it is aligned with the wireless Internet future. Additionally, on May 26th, he will participate on the "Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Update" panel where he will explain how IETF is the centre of efforts to coordinate VoIP solutions. Standards bodies are often where the future is created and they can be instrumental in helping the industry pick the next market mover. Mr. Rafferty will focus on the following specific themes: -- What standards work is helping to promote Interoperability? -- What impact will the standards have on enabling competitive markets? Mr. Rafferty is the Senior Product Manager for IP Telephony at Brooktrout Technology and is responsible for Brooktrout Technology's IP and carrier voice product lines. Mr. Rafferty is also active in the IP Telephony standards process through his work with the IETF and ITU-T Study Group 16. He is the author of numerous RFCs and was instrumental in extending the T.38 IP fax standard to enable support for SIP. Mr. Rafferty holds a B.S. and Master of Engineering degrees in Management Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Brooktrout will display its SnowShore IP Media Server(TM), which is a software-based IP media server platform for next generation networks and service at Stand 839 in the exhibition hall. Also on show will be the NS700(TM) SS7 product line that provides a robust SS7 signaling feature set; the TR1000(TM), voice and speech processing platform; the TR1500(TM), carrier-grade voice processing platform; and the TR2500(TM) platform for voice over packet gateways and enhanced services. CTI2 will be demonstrating their InTouch messaging application on the Brooktrout stand. InTouch provides a complete Unified Messaging system, offering advanced GUIs, including a mobile client, which uses the capabilities of the Brooktrout SnowShore IP Media Server.
