You don't want to miss this show: The SIP Forum has announced that it will host the second annual SIP Network Operators Conference (SIPNOC US 2012), a two-day educational conference focusing on the challenges and opportunities related to the deployment of SIP-based carrier services globally. SIPNOC US 2012 will be held in Herndon, VA on June 25-27, 2012 and will build on the success of the inaugural event last spring, which attracted leading technical and operations personnel from the global carrier community and earned high praise from attendees for its educational, non-commercial and technical content that focused on the real-world challenges operators face when deploying SIP services in global IP networks. Unlike other events, this conference is designed for SIP network operations personnel, such as NOC engineers and network architects, instead of a high-level conference for marketing executives.
