The ATCA & Communications Ecosystems Conference is a key opportunity to evaluate the real time-to-market and cost reduction benefits being delivered by the latest off-the-shelf solutions for the converged IP network. Using these solutions, vendors are delivering new systems and services in a fraction of the time required for conventional developments. Presented by Light Reading and Heavy Reading with support from leading industry organizations this conference is the most comprehensive one-day event covering ATCA and related solutions including MicroTCA, AMC, off-the-shelf middleware, carrier-grade operating systems, and fully integrated systems.

In such a quickly growing market, expected to reach $7.2 billion by 2012, this event will bring attendees up-to-date on the latest developments from all levels in the supply chain – from component and middleware vendors to system integrators, equipment vendors, and carriers. The event will be of particular benefit to anyone developing or planning systems for telecom and enterprise services including IPTV, 3G and 4G mobile data, VoIP, network security, and broadband.

* Compelling speakers and panelists who provide unmatched insight into the evolving ATCA and communications ecosystem

* Twin tracks covering platform hardware and platform applications and middleware in addition to general sessions addressing key business and system development issues
