CHICAGO November 29, 2005 The International Engineering Consortium (IEC) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) announced their continued partnership to bring EntNet to the first-ever Broadband World Forum Americas 2006, last night in a signing ceremony during the 2005 IEEE Globecom conference in St. Louis, Missouri.

Providing enterprise practitioners, business owners, researchers, designers, developers, integrators, and technical leaders with solutions to the latest in communications technology, the IEC and IEEE's EntNet will focus on enterprise network requirements and technology evolutions.

IEC Senior Director John Janowiak commented on the continued relationship: The International Engineering Consortium has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with the IEEE. Both organizations strive to serve the industry's continuing education needs through quality programs such as EntNet.

The educational program will reveal details on cutting-edge technology important to enterprise, such as implementing IMS, wireless communication, real-time enterprise challenges, enterprise Web services, advanced VoIP technologies, quadruple play, interoperability and integration of enterprise networks and services, and more.

The IEEE;s Dr. Shri Goyal, director of meetings and conferences, added, "The unique IEEE ComSoc and IEC partnership facilitates serving both the technical and practitioner community, utilizing the technological innovations for business applications and pitching it to business leaders. Our successful collaboration on the Enterprise Networking and Services Conference, EntNet, is a testimonial to this win-win strategy. We look forward to continued success!"

Through each of its sessions, EntNet will show businesses how to cut operations costs, increase profit margin, gain in employee productivity, and increase efficiency in information and communications efforts.

For EntNet's sixth year in existence, previously at SUPERCOMM, the IEC and the IEEE have once again teamed up to bring visionaries, vendors, practitioners, and technology experts to one symposium. The continued relationship allows EntNet to return for industry professionals at the first-ever 2006 Broadband World Forum Americas, which will provide networking opportunities and present services issues and solutions. The business- and technology-oriented panels, workshops, and tutorials fulfill the IEC and IEEE's commitment to education and progress in technology and business.
