The SIP Tutorial takes place on Tuesday, Jan. 19 as a pre-conference workshop. 4GWE Conference runs January 20-22. Both events will be held in the Miami Beach Convention Center.

This full-day tutorial is presented in cooperation with the Illinois Institute of Technology. Attendees can earn a continuing-education certification for attending the SIP tutorial.

Henry Sinnreich and Alan Johnston, who have been at the heart of the IETF and SIP standards since the beginning of SIP, will lead the conference sessions.

This event will present the latest information on the standard, and it will help academics, network planners and SIP developers stay ahead of the curve, by sharing the plans for changes that will affect SIP for wireless applications and voice. 

“If you work with SIP, or if you intend to implement SIP for wireless applications and voice, then attending this tutorial will teach you more in a single day than you could learn in months of training elsewhere,” said Carl Ford, Co-founder of Crossfire Media and chairman of the 4GWE Conference. 

The SIP Tutorial features an introduction to SIP and all of its associated protocols. Client-client server and peer-to-peer SIP systems will also be discussed in detail. Various Internet-traversal issues, and SIP security issues will be evaluated, and SIP-specific solutions will be presented. Numerous examples of SIP-based communication applications will be provided in the areas of telephony, presence, instant messaging and multimedia. 


The complete agenda for the SIP Tutorial is available online. Conference and Expo registration for the SIP Tutorial, 4GWE and ITEXPO remain open. Members of the media interested in media credentials should contact Todd Keefe at todd@firpr.com.
