About MobileIGNITE

MobileIGNITE stands for Mobile Integrated Go-To-Market Network IP Telephony Experience. It is an independent multi-lateral industry association committed to developing best practices and use case that can be used to develop FMC solutions and is built on existing standards such as CDMA, GSM, UMTS, SIP, IMS, and 802.11/16.

In November 2005 MobileIGNITE became an independent organization after originally being founded by BridgePort Networks in January 2005 as a company program. MobileIGNITE is committed to using industry collaboration to accelerate Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) by promoting standards based end-to-end interoperable best practices and test cases that deliver converged services to improve the quality, coverage, flexibility and cost of mobile voice and data service delivery and the mobility of Internet Protocol (IP) communication services.

MobileIGNITE is guided by an Executive Steering Committee which is comprised of leading industry visionaries:

• Sanjay Jhawar (Chair) – SVP, Marketing & Business Development, BridgePort Networks
• Michael Luna, CTO, 724 Solutions
• Hermon Pon, VP, Corporate Development, Tekelec

MobileIGNITE holds regular meetings so that it can progress in creating interoperable best practices and test cases that bridge both the Mobile and IP worlds. MobileIGNITE is in a unique position as its members are from service providers and vendors that are involved in both wireless and VoIP.
