Session 1: “Communications as a Strategic Disaster-Recovery Tool”
Pre-positioning and rapid deployment of communications and “all-hazard” response systems is essential for first responders and emergency managers to prepare for and mitigate both natural and man-made disasters. From the world’s great cities to the smallest and moist vulnerable villages, access to cost-effective connectivity, real-time hazard assessment and integrated data management tools are imperative for ensuring humanitarian assistance, disaster recovery, and emergency management. This first session of two on communications for disaster management will explore the how, when, where and why of the latest solutions for emergency management and response.

Stealth Communication’s Voice Peering Workshop
Organized by Stealth Communications Inc.
Peering of VoIP traffic has radically transformed traditional voice services – and it is a leading indicator of new applications yet to come.
More than 100 billion minutes of VoIP traffic now transits peering arrangements annually, bypassing legacy switched networks and correspondent relationships. The Voice Peering Workshop will combine technology tutorials and capture the latest real-life implementations of network peering and interconnection. Participants will learn key techniques and strategies that enable bilateral and multilateral peering, and how Voice Peering Fabric (VPF) service providers reduce costs, simplify their networks, and increase revenues. Discussants will also examine Least-Cost-Routing, ENUM, SRV, SS7 over IP and much more!
