It’s almost here… that wonderful time of year where we are amped up about keeping our New Year’s Resolutions (for a month at least), excited to see if the elusive iPhone 5 will finally be released and pumped (especially if we live on the East Coast) about heading to Miami, Fla., for ITEXPO East 2012.

In just a few weeks, the world’s largest communications conference and expo will be underway Feb. 1-3, and one company ready to hit the ground running at the event is Ingate Systems who just announced that there will be a new SIP Trunk Academy as part of the SIP Trunk-Unified Communications (UC) Seminars at ITEXPO.

As in past years, the seminars will feature a variety of speakers from big-shot companies such as Broadvox (News - Alert), ShoreTel, Bandwidth.com, Commetrex, Dialogic, FaxCore, Grandstream, Intertex Data AB, NACR and Unified Communications Interoperability Forum (UCI Forum).

Other highlights include a discussion from Microsoft officials about SIP trunking with Microsoft Lync as well as Microsoft Office 365; insights from IP industry blogger and Vice President of TMC/CTO and Executive Technology Editor/SEO Director Tom Keating (News - Alert), who will discuss the state of SIP, SIP trunking and Unified Communications; and presentations from Joel Maloff of Maloff NetResults/Phone.com, who will also moderate the sessions.

The seminars will be held in room B114/115. Sample sessions include: “What is SIP Trunking?,” “SIP Trunking in the Customer Network,” “SIP Trunking in the Cloud,” “Overview of an Internet+ Model,” “SIP Trunking with Legacy PBXs,” “Deployment Demo,” “Drill Down: Microsoft Office 365,” “UC in the Cloud,” “Fax-over-IP Block,” “Building Your Business with SIP Trunking and Unified Communications (News - Alert),” and “Birds-of-a-Feather Session: Internet.”

Those interested can schedule a Free Assessment of Your Installation @ ITEXPO (News - Alert) Schedule – a free, one-on-one consultation at ITEXPO with Bandwidth.com, Broadvox, ShoreTel, Ingate and/or Intertex (News - Alert) Data for a personalized assessment of your specific network deployment.
