IEEE 4th International Symposium on Advanced Networks and Telecommunication Systems (ANTS) 2010

Broadband networks are witnessing a convergence in both technologies and delivered services. Next-generation services require unified and scalable technologies spread across the network protocol layers facilitating a converged service model across all partitions of the network. Advanced integrated systems and network platforms have benefits in terms of deployment cost as well as the ability to provision new services. Motivated by the tremendous success of the first two IEEE ANTS events in Mumbai in 2007 and 2008, and the third in New Delhi in 2009 which highlighted advances in systems and networking, the theme of IEEE ANTS 2010 continues to be communication systems and networking technologies for realizing converged ubiquitous broadband connectivity.
