May 12, 2008

MERA Systems invites IT and telco industry professionals to register for a free webinar held on May 20, 2008 in order to discuss the impact of IPv6 on VoIP networks.

Toronto, ON, Canada — May 12, 2008 — The company announced it is sponsoring an upcoming live webinar at TMCnet titled “IPv6 in the World of VoIP: Crucial Upgrade or Major Technical Challenge”.

TMC’s webinar events feature live, interactive presentations covering relevant topics, and presented by top industry executives. Attendees watch and listen to the presentation as it happens over their computer, and have the opportunity to submit questions to the speaker in a real-time Q&A session. TMC has over 40 webinars scheduled for 2008, in addition to the Mera Systems presentation on May 20.

The MERA webinar will be presented by Oleg Goryunov Chief Marketing Officer, MERA Systems; Vitaly Potapov, Senior Sales Manager, MERA Systems; and Erik Linask, Associate Editor at TMC. Speakers will discuss the most burning issues of Internet Protocol version 6 transition and particularly how IPv6 affects VoIP networks.

“The recent US Federal mandate requiring all vendors to switch to an IPv6 platform has generated many questions, not only in the USA but in other countries” said Rich Tehrani, TMC’s president “While IPv6 offers many advantages in the long term, there are some legitimate discussions needed about the many impacts this change will have on carriers’ VoIP networks. That is why we are excited to be working with Mera Systems on their upcoming webinar,” Tehrani continued. “The webinar will answer some of the many questions surrounding IPv6 while providing you with information to help find out how your own network will benefit from IPv6.”

“Today’s networks are not ready to leap to the new version right away, and IPv6 transition is seen as a serious technical issue that needs immediate attention,” said Konstantin Nikashov, CEO of MERA Systems. “The two protocols will coexist for many years but the sooner VoIP service providers learn about IPv6 advantages the more efficient their networks will become in future. We are pleased to join forces with TMC to discuss this hot topic. ”
