As a valued member of the press, you are invited to attend and cover SoftSwitch Expo 2001 in San Diego. SoftSwitch Expo 2001, the global conference and exposition on softswitch technology, will cover the hottest topics in today’s e-business economy. SoftSwitch Expo is expected to be the largest exhibition of Next Gen Softswitch technology to date.

The 3-day event will include over 50 top-drawer presenters in four simultaneous tracks, pre-conference workshops, and keynote speeches.

"Softswitch" is an all-encompassing term for next generation communications systems that employ open standards to create integrated networks with a decoupled service intelligence capable of carrying voice, video and date traffic more efficiently and with far greater value-added service potential than is possible with the existing Public Switched Telephone Network.

Offering visitors an opportunity to explore the latest in Internet Technologies, the Internet Librarian 2001 exposition will feature top companies including ACE*COMM, Clarent, HUGHES SOFTWARE SYSTEMS, RADCOM, Siemens and Unisphere Networks.

pulver.com in partnership with the International Softswitch Consortium is producing this event. Softswitch Expo 2001 will be the place the entire Softswitch Industry will be getting together to showcase their technologies, talk to their customers and help educate the telecommunications industry on the future direction of telecom.

The International Softswitch Consortium (ISC) exists to promote worldwide compatibility and seamless interoperability of softswitch operation. Our members are at the forefront of a technological and market revolution in the communications service industry, and we work closely together to advance the worldwide adoption of next-generation multimedia communications by providing the industry's largest forum for the identification, discussion, and definition of softswitch components and functions.
