This report provides an independent and quantified view of what is happening in the industry on IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), through the presentation of results from an industry-wide survey that encompasses 137 interviews, 101 of them being operators. The report also includes operator and supplier case studies, presenting as factually as possible the current state of the art; without the hype and marketing spin that has frustrated many people on this topic. These two objectives are reflected in the two main sections of this report: market survey results and case studies which include Verizon, China Mobile, and Vodafone Spain.
Key Findings
IMS remains niche, with only 8% of those operators surveyed deploying IMS. Note, none of those operators have completed the conversion of their network, all considered it a 5-7 year process.
Another 12% are in an extended field trial, which is characterized by services being launched on the IMS core, with in some cases paying customers; but a decision has not yet been made to commit to service migration onto the IMS core.
IMS does not appear to be entering a period of rapid adoption, rather a linear growth in initial adoption over the next 5 years, with by 2014 about 32% of operators commencing an IMS deployment.
Regionally, NAR (North America Region) provides the bulk of the growth in years 2010 and 2011, while EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific) regions provide the bulk of growth in later years.
Lack of business case, lack of standards compliance and BOSS (Business and Operational Support System) integration were the top three barriers to adoption as identified by operators.
Target Audience
Mobile (CDMA and GSM), fixed, broadband and cable operators: providing an independent status report to cut through the marketing hype to aid in the definition of a realistic network evolution plan.
Network equipment providers: giving the market analysis necessary to determine where and when to make product investments, better meet operator requirements, better aid operators in their network evolution, and guidance on where to focus sales resources over the next 5 years.
Related network component suppliers, e.g. business and operational support system software suppliers, service broker / service middleware providers, SDP providers, customer premise equipment suppliers, mobile handset and software suppliers: providing the market analysis necessary to determine where and when to make product investments and where for focus sales resources.
Application developers: whether to invest in building IMS applications, and where to focus.
Investors: where the investment opportunities reside in the emerging IMS landscape.

From Subscriber to Silicon: Why end-to-end technology value chain insight is ...IHS
How do technology adoption trends impact the entire supply chain? What future opportunities are shaping today's raw materials, semiconductors, and displays?
It's a brave new world where "everything technology" is a common denominator for an otherwise uncommon explosion in disruptive innovations, shifting consumer behaviors, and volatile swings in supply and demand that reverberate throughout all technology-consuming markets. As the downstream battle for subscribers intensifies, the upstream battle for the silicon, intellectual property, and raw materials that are increasingly used within automotive, medical, industrial, and other sectors is just as fierce.
While most savvy organizations understand the interconnected nature of the supply chain, many also lack a fundamental understanding of the issues that will impact them most.
Join IHS and Supply & Demand Chain Executive as they share insights into some of the top issues impacting technology, media, and telecommunications value chains. They will raise questions to key issues like the future of pay-TV and how this impacts set-top boxes, software platforms, mobile devices, network operators, and chip production. They will outline the importance of having supply chain intelligence from "subscriber to silicon" by addressing such topics as:
How do technology adoption trends impact the entire supply chain?
How is the consumer having such a major impact on operator strategies and subscribers?
What future opportunities are shaping today's raw materials, semiconductors, and displays?
How are themes like higher resolution, touch, or interface adoption driving the supply chain?
How are pay-TV, smart technology, and other ecosystems disrupting adjacent markets?
Who are the winners and losers and why should you care?
Rapidly changing upstream and downstream events shape today's technology landscape, the effects of which can create immediate winners and losers in the supply chain. Don't miss this chance to learn the importance of understanding the end-to-end dynamics influencing your supply chain.

To connect the under or unconnected, Cambium Networks have released the new outdoor wireless broadband for many applications, from data backhaul to wireless video surveillance.
Founded in Singapore in 2019, Global Digital Management Solutions (GDMS) provides consulting, data center & cloud-based services, and digital solutions for various sectors including government and the finance industry. GDMS cloud computing services are available in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.
Our main objective is to assist enterprises and government offices with their digital transformation projects. To accomplish this, we operate a local cloud infrastructure that enables companies to quickly and securely transition to the cloud while keeping their data local.
Critical communications is no longer voice-only. Often, it includes integrated systems and rich data applications. Choosing the right network and tools for your critical operations has become even more complex.
Each network type has its advantages for certain applications and tasks, but it has become clear that no single network can serve the diverse needs of public safety agencies.
The challenge is to seamlessly combine next-generation tools with secure, interoperable mission-critical voice to increase user-effectiveness and dramatically improve outcomes.
This presentation will challenge the current mobility paradigms and provide an overview of how a unified critical communications approach can meet both mission-critical and business-critical needs.

Agile, DevOps, Cloud - practical tools of Digital Transformation by Paul Poli...Agile ME
Digital Transformation and Agile are an umbrella concepts covering many tools and processes. In this session, we will discuss some of the practical, modern IT tools that enable and implement Agile in the organizations. We will talk about digital transformation in general, cloud concept its benefits and applications, and DevOps methodology as one of the strongest tools enabling Agile. The aim of this workshop will be to demonstrate in simple non-IT, business language the mechanics of each of the above, how do they work hand in hand with Agile, why should you care and how to apply them in your organization.
Software in a box.Network appliance….this is why our margins are so high and we are not a telco provider
Oil & Gas companies such as Shell, Marathon, Occidental, BP, Tatweer, PDO, ADNOC and PEMEX use Redline gear to remotely monitor and manage oil wells PEMEX, both e’s sound alike, like mexico, pemberton
Many military organizations who depend on secure communications use Redline including - The US Marines , the US Army, ,The Coast Guard, the Egyptian Army, the US/Mexico Border Patrol, the Turkish Navy, Jordanian Air force, Argentinean Navy and many more.
In Mexico alone, over 50 states, municipalities and cities use Redline to power High Definition video surveillance systems for public safety including Mexico City, Tijuana, and Cancun
For telecom service providers, wireless with redline is faster and more cost effective than installing fiber. Companies like Orange , Du, Terago, zain, towerstream, clearwire, STC trust their networks to the reliable Redline products.
Fiber is the ultimate and it is the driving force behind the explosive growth of data…and its great!....but what do you do when you don’t have fibre…this is what we do we extend fiber and offer the same type of connectivity as fibre…we carry anything…we are 100% native IP. And this is exciting because…next slide

Frequency Agnostic.Long DistancesBig BandwidthCarry and connect anythingIndustrial wireless isn`t as easy to define or as standardized as wireless internet access for consumers – it can be the real-time monitoring and control of oil wells across an area hundreds of miles square, it can be a city wide video surveillance camera system that captures crimes in progress in real-time, it can be the ability to establish an instant voice and data network in a military theatre in Afghanistan or during a hurricane like Katrina or for cleaning up the oil spill in the Gulf, it can be the ability to bring internet access to a remote hospital or branch office or rural school. Redline products have been used for all of these and many more. It can be many things but it is much more than personal connectivity.Redline makes end-to-end industrial wireless possible by delivering high speed wireless as a cost effective extension of traditional fiber-based infrastructure into geographies where running fiberisn`t cost effective, or where running fiber is simply not possible.
