ATIS and MultiService Forum partner for interoperability event
June 19, 2008 - The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) has partnered with the MultiService Forum (MSF) for the MSF's biannual Global MSF Interoperability (GMI) event, to be held in October of this year.
The event will be attended by vendors including NEC, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Nortel and ZTE, and will be hosted by carrier, government and academic laboratories with the aim of creating a "real world" global network to verify the interoperability of critical next generation network (NGN) elements in a range of practical scenarios. Carriers participating include Verizon in the US, BT and Vodafone in Europe, and China Mobile in Asia. GMI 2008 will include additional test laboratories, enhanced test scenarios and a wider range of service capabilities including end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS), Location Management and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), as well as IPTV.
"GMI 2006 proved that IMS architecture was ready for real world deployment," commented Roger Ward, Office of the CTO, BT Group and President of the MSF. "Now the main emphasis at GMI 2008 will be to show that key emerging services, such as IPTV, can effectively leverage this enabling infrastructure."
