What will we found on ElastixWorld?

In this edition we’ll a lot of surprises, beginning with the classic conference space where we will see the best of the best in VoIP and Open Source communications.
Mark Spencer, the creator of Asterisk, Olle Johansson a renowned figure on SIP and VoIP, and other important figures complete an iconic line up.
Software developers and entrepreneurs will have their 15 minutes of fame with the second "Addons Challenge", a space designed to promote and show the best addons available on the Elastix Market Place.

 

"ElastixWorld was a great moment for me. I had the opportunity to meet the Elastix Project team and see many large companies such as Grandstream and Sangoma. It was three days full of many conferences that allowed me to discover new technology, new hardware, etc ... It was very interesting, I will never forget it"

Franck Danard RoomX - France


"It was my pleasure to discover and be able to participate in ElastixWorld, a conference that surprised me with the quality of its presentations as well as its organization. Even if you are note an Elastix user, if you're interested in VoIP or RealTime Communications, you should go"

Saul Ibarra Blink - Spain

Pedro Huichalaf Roa

Telecommunications with sense. Breaking geographical barriers for citizens

"The Undersecretary of Telecommunications, will talk about the technology advancements and how to take social a advantage."

Michael Iedema

OpenBTS - Building Real Mobile Networks, Big or Small

"OpenBTS implements a complete GSM stack for voice and SMS. It also supports GPRS and UMTS 3G data standards. With an off-the-shelf server and SDR (software defined radio), it is now possible to build real mobile networks. These networks can be used to support true fixed-mobile convergence, bring coverage to remote areas or just experiment and innovate within the cellular network itself. Because OpenBTS converts all cellular signaling and media directly to SIP and RTP, the development environment should be familiar!"

Joachim Vanheuverzwijn

Everything you never wanted to know about mobile voip

"Best practices to maximize reliability, quality and battery life for your mobile customers. A closer look at OS bugs and limitations, codecs, NATs, timeouts, keep alive packets and the effect on battery life and reliability of incoming calls."

Emil Ivov

Adding Truly Scalable Video Conferencing to a SIP Platform with Jitsi Videobridge

"Until recently video conferencing has been all about having tons of CPU in armies of video mixers, the endless hassle of handling reservations on video-bridges, proprietary endpoints ranging from expensive to super expensive and, most of all: multi-party video conferencing has always been about poor quality. Well ... No more! These times are over!
In this presentation Emil is going to take us through the mechanics of routing-based video conferences and the way that the jitsi.org community has implemented them in Jitsi Videobridge and Jitsi Meet. We are going to talk about how Jitsi Videobridge (and SFUs in general) handle bandwidth optimisation, adaptivity and, most importantly: How to add scalable video conferencing to your existing SIP framework."

Dean Rotherham

"Mobile learning applications in Africa

"Sterio.me has developed a mobile learning platform that enables SMS and voice based learning via GSM. The use of voice-based learning helps people with language and literacy barriers and with no ability to consume free and open data. An example case of the use of applications with a big social impact and an innovative use of Asterisk/Elastix."

Olle Johansson

10-4-1 : The Open Communication Revolution agenda

SIP 2.0 was published as an RFC in 2002 and started a revolution in the telecom industry. The big move away from traditional technologies is still happening and things are moving fast. But 99% of the implementations of SIP are still focused on ISDN-over-IP, something that is very frustrating to many that believe that there are much more functionality in SIP. WebRTC is about to become standardized and we already see some early implementations. How will this affect the SIP industry and what should be in focus for the coming year? Olle delivers his thoughts, ideas and will give some clear instructions about how to move forward.

Juan Oliva

Security on Open Source VoIP: putting the icing on the cake

"Voice over IP is the most popular tool in unified communications; the appearance of Asterisk allowed a greater number of companies to have access to this technology. As a service that is performed on the IP protocol, is subject to the same threats as other services which were already used by companies, and gradually, recommended practices begin to appear on the scene, however at a lower rate than implementations in the world. What opportunities present distributions of open source VoIP and how they pose in front of the current digital insecurity?"

Saul Ibarra

Don't trust in anyone. The operation of security in signaling and media

"For many people, using SIP over TLS and SRTP is enough to consider its communications secure, wrong! In this presentation we will explore in depth the issues of media and signaling security, assuming a hostile environment where no one can be trusted."

Ernesto Casas

SBC's as a response of secure support for remote users. Cases of use

"During this presentation you'll get familiar with the use of an SBC to make incorporation of users to an IPPBX easier. These users can be mobile, remote or with a non-default location. You will also understand the challenges of security, privacy and functionality."

Gaston Draque

Phone Apps... for the desk-phone

"Development of applications that are loaded on the phone and executed locally, based on both internal and external events without the need for a middleware server. Description of the experience, challenges and solutions encountered in the process."

Pablo Umanzor

The Asterisk of things

"An analysis of how Asterisk is being integrated into the TI world and how things can be controlled using the phone's keypad, or even with voice commands using ASR and speech recognition techniques."

Jon Bonilla

Kamailio in Elastix 3

"One of the cool things about Elastix 3 is the inclusion of Kamailio, a proxy, as a fundamental component of the SIP traffic. During the presentation we will talk about: The place of the proxy on the architecture, the functionality added to Elastix, The possibilities with this addition to the code and several considerations that may arrive."

Edgar Landivar

Elastix: what's comming?

"In this talk Edgar will discuss the roadmap of Elastix, future plans and ideas and demistify the classic romours."
