In addition to our traditional focus on the issues critical to the successful deployment of Call Authentication solutions, SIPNOC 2026 will feature special coverage of renewed efforts to accelerate the national transition to an All-IP network infrastructure due to its foundational significance on the reliable delivery of call authentication, branded calling, and a host of other communications services and applications.
This special coverage of All-IP will include key regulatory actions and a new industry standard - the "Agreement-Less IP Interconnection over the Internet" (ALIII) standard - designed to help accelerate the transition.
