GMI 2008 will focus on providing a technical validation of the MSF Release 4 Architecture and supporting Implementation Agreements as the basis for interoperability between vendors within practical network deployments.

The MSF Release 4 Architecture and Implementation Agreements are particularly focussed on:

• IMS as a basis of carrier-grade session control;
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as a mechanism for rapid service creation with access to IMS session control;
• IPTV and location-based services as representative emerging services;
• elaborated QoS control as an essential underpinning for content-intensive services such as IPTV;
• the ability to monitor services from the user point of view;
• practical deployment scenarios that focus on realistic network evolution.

GMI 2008 will provide direct marketing value to the MSF membership by demonstrating their commitment to open, interoperable multi-vendor NGN networks.
