The transition to an all-IP Network is erasing lines of distinction between wireline and wireless, cable and telco, mobile and fixed. It is also eroding the distinction between voice, video and data services.
In its place is emerging an entirely new ecosystem built around Network Innovation. No matter what the subject – M2M, Cloud, Optical Transport, Network Convergence – it is clear that innovation is the order of the day in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Whether companies are opening Innovation Centers, working as part of diverse ecosystems, or collaborating internally across vast geographic boundaries, at the heart of today’s Innovation model is The Network.
The TIA 2012 Conference and Exhibition is designed to capture this transformation on multiple levels for the global ICT industry. The event brings together leading minds in technology, in the network business model, in network innovation and a transformed customer experience.
