2024 Schedule

Keynote

Anthony has more than 25 years of experience in software engineering. He was the original founder and author of an open-source software defined telecommunications platform called “FreeSWITCH”, created in 2005.

Generative Conversational AI Interoperability

Explore the transformative power of OVON Linux Foundation AI&Data Specs in enabling Conversational AI Interoperability, which ensures smooth, platform-independent voice assistant communication that is both open and ethical.

Giving AI the Gift of Knowledge

LLM engines are good at understanding and synthesizing data if it is presented correctly, but ingesting and processing existing documents presents multiple challenges. We will walk through the iterations that brought the SignalWire Datasphere component to market, using open source tools.

G2NG (Geek to Non-Geek) Communications Masterclass

When Geeks speak to each other, most of the time it just works… However, when addressing less technical audiences, oftentimes Nerds aren’t Heard. Attend this session to find out how to be an Engineer that engages (and even energizes) those you wish to communicate with.

SIP Transport Layer Gateway with Kamailio

SIP has been designed to cope very well with various transport layer protocols, it can be transmitted over UDP, TCP, TLS, SCTP or WebSocket (WebRTC). Join this session to learn how to build a transport layer gateway with Kamailio and get a few tips and tricks to make it secure and scalable.

Flutter & WebRTC

This presentation will include a live demo showcasing the integration of Flutter and WebRTC with SignalWire, a robust platform for building communication applications, providing a practical example of how to implement and leverage these technologies effectively.

Scaling and Managing RTC Workloads in Kubernetes

This session covers the following including demos:  Things to consider when deploying multi-region SIP based services; HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler); Graceful shutdowns and post start practices; Deploying new updates without dropping calls; Single global ingress (security and simplicity)

The Challenges of Building an RTC Architecture in Cloud

Hepic Cloud – some mistakes were made when designing its architecture, to the point where we are now in Hepic Cloud version 2. After all the struggles to get here, we want to share lessons learned and how Hepic Cloud drastically simplifies your observability stack. And yes, AI is part of the equation.

Harnessing the Power of AI – Cutting through the Noise

Join industry experts for an in-depth roundtable discussion exploring the transformative impact of AI on the telecommunication industry.

Featuring: Anthony Minessale, Jeff Pulver, Kristian Kielhofner, Diego Gosmar, James Tagg.

Build Your 5G Stand Alone Private Network With Open Source

Mobile network technologies, for a long time, were known to be anything but affordable, especially for small companies and individuals. However, over the past few years, supported by software defined networks, the costs for radio access hardware went down.  This session presents how one can build an affordable 5G SA private network using open source only software, which then can be used for testing, prototyping and beyond.

Dynamic SIP Credentials

Learn how to use Kamailio to generate dynamic SIP credentials that expire after a certain amount of time. Engineers sometimes forget to remove SIP credentials of test carriers from a customers system after performing testing, and wouldn’t catch it until a fraud notification from the carrier or receive the monthly bill. Therefore, we created a RESTFUL endpoint called “/lease” and it creates a set of SIP credentials that are only active for a defined timeframe.

Humans and Machines Work Together, Improving Contact Center Operations

The synergy between humans and machines is revolutionizing contact center operations, leading to enhanced customer service and operational efficiency. This collaboration leverages the strengths of both human agents and advanced technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI on the Frontier – The Worlds Fastest Supercomputer

In this talk Kristian will provide an introduction to Frontier – the #1 system on the TOP500 list of supercomputers. From system specifications, to implementation details, to tips on how to submit applications for your own projects this is a “who, what, when, why, how” for US Department of Energy Exascale compute systems.

Meet Homer 10

Join this lunch n’ learn to discover Homer 10 and its integration with Observability.

Connect to Everything with FreeSWITCH

Seven shares his experience of how to contribute code, write modules, and how he extended FreeSWITCH to connect to other systems and platforms including but not limited to MCU, SFU Microsoft Teams and ChatGPT.

Modernizing a Legacy VoIP Stack

Your VoIP stack is the engine of your business. It connects the calls. It makes the money. But, what do you do when it’s stale, old, and no one knows how it works?
