Meet the Presenter: James Cavanagh

James Cavanagh was working with ATM and Frame Relay back when telecom industry leaders called them “kinky technologies”. Jim Cavanagh has been using the Internet from the time it was inhabited with Gophers, before there was any RISC, and in an era when GNU Emacs was, well, new. He has been putting voice into packets and sending them around the globe before it was called VoIP and before it challenged the established world order of telecom. So, what can you learn from an old telecom practitioner like Jim Cavanagh? If you are like several thousand people every year, you can learn a lot: from the dozens of articles he has written, his free 300+ page "The Definitive Guide to the Successful Deployment of VoIP and IP Telephony" or five other books, or from his VoIP and VoIP security classes. Class participants learn as much from Jim’s stories of developing the global Voice over Packet architectural blueprint for a Fortune 2 company as they do hearing his insider stories of the development of standards and products. They gain as much insight from his firsthand accounts of US government’s early adopters of VoIP as they do from his tales of intrigue as DoD tries to convert the mammoth governmental nets from IPv4 to IPv6 before “it’s too late”! They enjoy his insight and enthusiasm and his analysis and candor. And so can you. During January Jim will be returning to Washington DC for a rare five day deep dive into the business, technical, procurement, implementation and operational aspects of VoIP. Detailed Bio.

Workshop Descriptions:

Jan 28-29, Part 1 (course code P-VOIP1, fee $1,177)

A fast-paced, two day knowledge transfer program packed with basic concepts of packet telephony, details of VoIP and the US government’s FTS2001 program, technologies from H.323 to SIP and SIP-T, and practical aspects of implementation. This course will interest all audiences, whether they work with the US Government, government contractors, corporations, universities, local, county and state agencies, or international businesses. This course will be taught at an introductory-to-medium technical level and will be just as beneficial to those with little technical background as it will be to old hands who wish to fill in gaps in their knowledge. Detailed outline.

Jan 30-Feb 1, Part 2 (course code P-VOIPADV1, fee $1,677)

VoIP with Emphasis on SIP Part 2: Technical Deep Dive, Voice & Call Quality and Security (course code P-VOIPADV1)
