Business/Applications Service Providers and OTT - WebRTC Game Changer? RTC-06 Dean Bubley Founder Disruptive Analysis WebRTC could be the biggest threat and opportunity in the Service Provider market since deregulation & the advent of broadband. It has the potential to move or displace billions of dollars of revenue from existing telephony services to new socalled “Over The Top” players, or to fuel advanced services that will enable the existing players to extend their business for years to come. How WebRTC is perceived and used will drive the transition – will capabilities be delivered as billable “services”, or just embedded as “features” or “functions” of other apps or the browser itself? This session will focus on how Service Providers, vendors and Internet/IT peers should look at WebRTC, where they should participate, and how it may change the landscape.

Business/Applications Extending 4G Communications with WebRTC RTC-25 Anne Lee CTO, Advanced Communications Solutions Innovations Alcatel Lucent With the advent of smartphones, tablets, and mobile app stores, the demand on wireless bandwidth is exploding. Operators are responding to this demand by the introduction of 4G – LTE. Along with 4G – LTE data is the corresponding migration of operator wireless communications services to an All–IP multi–access solution called IMS – IP Multimedia Subsystem. More specifically, the 4G wireless version of this solution is called VoLTE.This session will look at 3 key areas driving the convergence of 4G–LTE + IMS + WebRTC. First is an overview of the wireless market trends propelling operators to All–IP. Second will be a review of the standards evolution and attributes of LTE and IMS to address the limitations of today’s current systems. The third area examines the integration of WebRTC with IMS including E2E application solution examples that utilize WebRTC – thereby, extending 4G communications into and leveraging the value of the web.

Business/Applications Mobile Devices - WebRTC Walks Around RTC-12 Geoff Hollingworth Head of Business Innovation, Silicon Valley Ericsson Ian Small Chief Executive Officer TokBox Inc Reid Stidolph Solutions Architect Acme Packet Chris Vitek (Moderator) President Enterprise Telemetry With more than a billion new mobile smart devices in 2015, WebRTC will have a plethora of deployment options and platforms. This session will examine some of the issues and how WebRTC will be deployed in the mobile world. Access to the World Wide Web is happening more and more through the window of a mobile device. With web sites reporting rising usage of mobile versions of their content, and the lines between The Web, and apps on mobile platforms are blurred. How will WebRTC impact The Mobile Web? This session examines the promise and perils of bringing WebRTC to the world of Mobility.The lack of interoperability between browsers and mobile devices has been a major barrier for developers looking to embrace WebRTC. As fragmentation of devices, browsers and networks continue to grow, it becomes increasingly difficult to develop an application that just works, no matter who your end user is. This session will explore how existing live video platforms are leveraging WebRTC to provide developers with the quality benefits WebRTC has to offer, while providing a flexible, customizable mobile development tool.

Technology Libraries and How to Use Them RTC-11 Nenad Corbic VP of Software Engineering Sangoma Technologies Jose de Castro Voxeo Lab's Cary Fitzgerald (Moderator) Terje Strand Architect ORACLE While simple WebRTC sessions can be created with as little as 40 lines of Java Script, creating well managed and behaved user experiences require thoughtful design and careful implementation. Just as the tools to develop web sites and other applications have made the developer’s job easier by building on top of well defined capabilities and SDKs, WebRTC promises to have a new set of building blocks. In this session, early developers of WebRTC toolkits will discuss how their offers will reduce time to market and improve performance, reliability and user acceptance.

Dean Bubley (Moderator) Founder Disruptive Analysis Geoff Hollingworth Head of Business Innovation, Silicon Valley Ericsson Boris Seltser Director, Product Management ORACLE WebRTC promises to have a huge impact on existing enterprise telecommunications solutions. From how Unified Communications is implemented for BYOD to Contact Centers and from reducing long distance through WebRTC guest portals to changing business processes, WebRTC opens new doors for business. The existing vendors are all working to understand how to use WebRTC to enhance their offers and meet growing customer demands. This panel session will feature major vendors discussing how they see using WebRTC in their portfolios and offers.

Technology Edges and Security RTC-13 Patrick McNeil Senior Security Engineer Acme Packet Mohan Palat Product Marketing Sonus Jerry Ryner CTO Sansay Justin Uberti Software Engineer Google WebRTC, as the nexus between realtime communications for both Webbased, and traditional VoIP services, is vulnerable to a superset of their security challenges. From identity assurance and privacy protection, to defense against fraud and theft of service, this discussion focuses on security in the expanding world of WebRTC. It covers mitigation and protection strategies, including encryption and D/DoS protection, which are especially critical when exposing existing VoIP communication infrastructure to The Web. In this session the leading Session Border control companies will discuss how they see WebRTC security threats and potential solutions.

Keynote Luncheon - Web RTC as a tool for Future Communications LUN-02 Martin Körling Head of Research Silicon Valley Ericsson WebRTC is moving rapidly from standardization into reality. The focus now is on how to make use of WebRTC as a tool, and on what role WebRTC will play in future solutions for communication.There are many ways to segment the evolving landscape of solutions: consumer/enterprise, web/telecom, vertical/horizontal, standalone/integrated/contextual, mobile/fixed, etc. This points to the need for a platform approach, with core components and flexibility for integration, based on REST interfaces.Of key importance is to leverage open innovation, driven by mobile broadband, advanced devices, and cloud software. Concrete examples show both how communication is added to vertical services and how horizontal enterprise communication can be enhanced. Carriers have key assets to build on, for example the universal address space of phone numbers and a scalable interconnected infrastructure.
