- Overview of new IP based services
- Evolution of the integration platform
Presented at IMS World Forum 2013 in Barcelona, Spain.
How did KPN experience its digital transformation in cooperation with Comarch? How can other Telecom operators learn from KPN's best practices? Strenghten - Simplify - Grow are three key words describing KPN's transition.

Evolution of the Telco Services Plane
Greg Sikora, Business Development OVOO
Over the past decade the number of telecom service providers has exploded with IP-based telecom services, CPaaS / UCaaS / CCaaS providers, enterprises running their telecom services, xVNOs, etc.
All these new players have brought new skills and new approaches to the creation of telecom services, and belatedly telcos are now adopting new approaches for their Telco Services Plane.
Given our experiences across a range of service providers we’ll describe the evolution of the Telco Services Plane to support new capabilities both within and without the network. Let innovation flourish!

Open Source Telecom Survey 2021 Results & Discussion: General Survey
Alan Quayle, Independent Consultant in Programmable Communications
This is our 3rd year of the survey, thank you for your continued support.
We received 114 responses to the general survey, +163 project survey responses giving a total of 277 received.
The general survey covered: Security, Serverless, STIR/SHAKEN, barriers and benefits of OSS, telcos and OSS, Training, IoT, and general geographic / category info.
Training: An interesting dichotomy is where people do not expect to pay for training when investigating a project but will pay when the project is part of their business.
MOOC.org pricing is interesting. It’s free if you just want to learn, if you want the training recognized, then there’s a fee. This enables people to investigate for free, and then if they require support, the training needs to be verified. This avoids training through support.
Open Source telecom software is part of a suite of open source projects used.
Perhaps we should investigate dominant architectures?
Companies that use open source make a long-term commitment to building an organization that understands open source, and is committed to owning the product, its roadmap, and the customer experience.
Companies successful with open source do not happen overnight, they are built over years.

A multi sided marketplace platform for telco enabled products
Werner Eriksen, CTO WorkingGroupTwo
Why has there been so much more innovation in the web- and mobile than other industries? One reason is that the internet and the two major mobile platforms have been great at enabling third party developers to build a wide range of products, as well as offering a great distribution channel towards end-users.
We believe this multi sided marketplace approach is the next step for the telecom industry as well. WGTWO has created a programmable mobile core network, built as a platform, API’ed and delivered as-a-service, along with marketplaces where operators, developers and end-users interact.
This enables 3rd party developers to create great products that people love – helping operators to start using and redistributing these products – and allowing subscribers to find, add, and manage extra products on top of their price plans.Making this a reality is not straightforward.
Let us share our journey, where we started – where we are right now – and the direction we are heading.

As the world continues to become digital and mobile, the communications ecosystem is being disrupted. Rather than trying to defend an obsolete business model, operators need to change their point of view and consider the broader possibilities being created by this very transformation as it disrupts every other industry.
The characteristics of the new environment are such, that the current "cambrian explosion" of apps will continue with no end in sight - especially as new technologies such as wearables, connected car/home, the internet of things and even implantables appear on the scene.
To support the massive proliferation of apps, a new breed of players is appearing: the Communications-as-a-Service Platform providers (CaaS). They will do to the communications stack what Google Maps did for maps or Paypal for payments: simplify it to the point where any developer is able to integrate it into their application with just a few lines of code.
In this new world, operators need to partner with CaaS providers to fully participate in the tremendous value creation opportunity, leveraging the strength of the startup world with their own, to unleash the hidden potential in their own capabilities and infrastructure.

Odată ce un client este convins să folosească Skype for Business / Microsoft Teams pentru comunicații unificate, întrebarea rămâne: să nu fie cloud sau nu?
Majoritatea companiilor ar putea să nu poată efectua o tranziție drastică la CloudPbx (Phone System) într-un timp foarte scurt. În timp ce abordarea pură a cloud-ului este calea viitorului, va dura ceva timp pentru a ajunge acolo, în special la nivel global.
De-a lungul anilor, întreprinderile au construit o dependență de sistemele lor vechi și de furnizorii de servicii, iar abordarea cloud pură nu poate permite o migrație ușoară.
Cea mai bună modalitate de a proteja investițiile curente ale companiilor (asigurând totodată un set complet de funcții de voce pentru acestea și garantând că toate filialele companiei din întreaga lume sunt deservite și respectă aceleași reglementări) este o soluție hibridă care oferă cele mai bune din ambele lumi și permite beneficiile UC astăzi, cu o migrare sigură și fără probleme la voce în cloud când va fi disponibilă.
Video conferencing:Bringing together business colleagues from across the worldEES Africa (Pty) Ltd
State-of-the art information and communication technology (ICT) makes it increasingly easy for people the world over to communicate in real-time. Perhaps the pinnacle of communication technology is Video Conferencing (VC) which enables virtual interaction to take place between business colleagues from different sites or remote sites, as if they are situated right next to each other.
On April 27th and May 5th, Paul Hillman presented his 'news and views' from the 3rd Annual, "invitation-only" UC Summit in La Jolla, California.
IT professionals and business executives around Michigan learned the cold, hard facts about the top UC providers, including Microsoft, Cisco, Avaya, IBM, NEC, and Siemens.

End Point Evolution TADSummit Americas 2019Alan Quayle
Todd Carothers, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at CounterPath
Softphone Endpoint: From Product to API Driven Platform.
From SIP-based endpoints to WebRTC the mobile and web are pushing the limits and forcing solutions to adapt to customers’ workflow as opposed to the other way around.
This means vendors bending reality to make solutions mold to specific yet varying requirements.
However, the SIP community is becoming more silo’ed and locking customers into a single vendor solution.
How will this play out? Who will lead the charge? Who wins and who loses?
Open Source Telecom Software Landscape by Alan QuayleAlan Quayle
There are tens of successful Open Source Telecom Software projects, with vibrant communities supporting them. Asterisk, the most successful and longest running is 20 years old. We heard from them earlier in the agenda.
We’ll review the many other projects to help people understand the depth, breadth and rapidly evolving nature of these projects. As we’ll as some of the new projects like Drachtio.org, and used recently at TADHack-mini Orlando Online 2020, for the hack SMB Reschedule.
We’ll also review the results from an anonymous survey of open source telecom software. Comparing the different projects, the preferred application areas of the projects, common issues and solutions, sharing where the industry sees these projects in 5 years’ time.

4. What we'll cover today
Unified Communication (UC) Trends.
Desktop Video Conference system - definition
How an Open Source iPBX can improves the Desktop
Video Conference session.
Example of a modern UC system: a Fixed-Mobile
Convergent iPBX used as telephony gateway for a real
Desktop Video Conference platform.
Where’s the money?
5. Unified Communication
Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications 2007
A Unified Communication System (UC) coordinates multiple
communication channels (MQUC2007).
A Unified Communication System:
• Respects the enterprise culture
• Improves business processes
6. Video Conference Trends
Gartner (MQUC2007): “like in many other
application fields, in the UC market the
software choices are driven by bottom-up
dynamics.”. Users are the driving force.
7. Video Conference Trends
The Video Conference solutions are changing from specialised
technologies for few users to an enterprise-wide collaboration tool
(Desktop Video Conference)
Says Gartner:
From 2009, the 40% of newly installed video conference systems
will be “on-premise” (daily use of audio/video meeting)
From 2010, video conferencing is standard facility for 75% of new
enterprise installations (compare with email, presence, IM).
“There’s demand out there.”
8. From Voice&Video To UC
Important issues:
• You remember
– The 20% of what you hear
– The 30% of what you see
– The 70% of what you hear and see
• Your working space is where-ever you create value for your
Company (office, home, hotel, airport, etc...)
• Quality of the end user experience – voice and video are one
10. What the market wants...
and needs !!!
Enterprise users may accept an (i)PBX & separate Video
Conference platform
BUT
a Unified Communication Suite doing VoIP, (Desktop) Video
Conference & Collaboration increases usability / reach.
All analysts agree: “the core of any modern UC solution is the
Online Presence service.”
11. Unified Communication Suite
• Most installed Video Conference suites are MCU hardware / set-
top-box systems. Limited set of specialised vendors (ex: Polycom,
Tandberg).
• New market scenario: add networking vendors and
manufacturers of IP Telephony systems.
• OPPORTUNITY: the core of a UC Suite is a VoIP PBX with
Presence and IM functionalities via the SIP protocol.
• The Video feature is provided by Software MCU.
13. The mantra is: “Anytime, Anywhere,
Anyplace... & AnyDevice”
This means Mobility:
• real time collaboration
• immediate access to critical information
So, challenges:
• operational
• commercial
• maintaining quality, end–to-end
14. I forgot Asterisk?
We said:
• Dedicated video conferencing systems turning into Desktop
Video Conference capabilities
• Telephony and Video are converging into Unified Communication
• The core feature of UC is the Presence online application
• A modern UC suite is an iPBX with Presence
Hence:
YES - an Asterisk-based system in the heart
of a modern Unified Communication Suite
15. What Asterisk can do.
Asterisk inside a UC Suite can provide at least the following
services (example short-list):
• Presence online and Instant Messaging (XMPP)
• Voice, of course...
• Extended Audio Conference
• Conferencing gateway for VoIP, PSTN, GSM and Skype
• Conferencing gateway for H.264 SIP Client
16. A modern UC system: Fixed-Mobile
Convergence (FMC) for SMB.
DR
AF
T
17. Where’s the money?
• Value proposition up the ladder
• Increased technical complexity
• Scalability / compatibility
• Channel partners / distributors; capabilities, market reach
• Market penetration of existing systems high at board level,
financial sector, large corporates, followed by governmental
organisations.
• Video increases customer loyalty (influence in users’ micro-
cosm).
• For hosted SP’s: likely increased bandwith usage.
