If you're among the thousands heading to Enterprise Connect in Orlando next week, there will be lots of opportunities to hear Sprint people offer their perspective, on everything from SIP Trunking to mobile Unified Communications.

During the course of the annual conference, five panels – four of them on Monday the 18th – will include Sprint representatives. As you're putting together your must-see Enterprise Connect schedule, here are the sessions that we recommend:

SIP Trunking: Who's Offering What? This 9 a.m. Monday roundtable discussion has a stageful of panelists, including Sprint's own Dimitrios Kioukis, Manager of Converged Solutions Engineering. The focus of this session is how an enterprise can procure the right SIP Trunking services and equipment to make a SIP technology initiative a success.More...

For the past decade, enterprises have wanted to see more hybrid phones, those that do both cellular and WiFi. While we have been able to demonstrate this approach ad nauseam in the labs, the challenge has been in providing enterprise-class feature/functionality using the technology. My Sprint EVO does both 3G/4G cellular and WiFi, but while I have had Skype client on this phone for a while, I haven’t used it. Let me remedy that… More...

There’s a school of thought out there that cloud transport can and should be just a commodity. A dumb pipe that gets you to your data or app destination. Then, inside that destination, all the intelligence resides in the software, along with the security and reliability. More...

When it comes to the highway to the cloud, it will be paved with partnerships, between ASPs (and other solutions providers) and carriers. Sprint, preferably, but there’s probably room for other carriers, I suppose.

We’re not the only ones with this partnership perspective. This article from CRN makes the point that while there has been a traditional divide between solution providers and carriers, that divide is no longer practical in a world where enterprises simply want to be cloud-connected in the most effective and reliable way possible. Increasingly, this is what customers want and demand. More...

Despite growing usage of, and interest in, the cloud, enterprises and even providers are still feeling their way around in this relatively new technology environment. Like explorers in a new and largely unexplored frontier territory, we’re learning as we go, and dispelling mistaken perceptions along the way. More...

The many advantages of 4G wireless for the enterprise network are the subject of a July 21 webinar, featuring Sprint’s own Solutions Engineering General Manager, Dave Fischbach, along with Sidecut Reports editor Paul Kapustka and Carl Ford, Co-Founder of Crossfire Media. More...

As a beta user of Sprint 4G Enterprise WAN, Senior Network Engineer Greg Wagnon of Explorer Pipeline already has a lot of positive experience with it, thanks to a highly successful deployment at an Explorer Pipeline fuel storage facility in Houston. More...

Enterprises that need fast, reliable communications solutions – installed quickly – can now fill those needs with the newest broadband service from Sprint, 4G Enterprise WAN. It is the first solution of its kind in the industry to bundle 4G and 3G wireless WAN connectivity, with secure and reliable access to the Sprint Global MPLS network.More...

Enterprise IT knows it’s coming: the tsunami of wireless data, video, and voice traffic. Cisco forecasts video to dominate IP traffic in the next few years. Today, companies are virtualizing data storage and moving as much of their business to IP as they can to help curtail the data deluge. On top of that, more employees work in a virtual or mobile environment, increasing the need for wireless communication. Enter 4G. More...

It’s always reassuring when a chef eats what she cooks or an auto worker drives the brand he builds. So when Sprint uses its own technology, you can be sure we believe in it.

For instance, we recently announced how we’re using a 4G mobile application that enables our commercial property inspectors to accomplish their tasks in half the time. A company our size has a lot of properties, as you can imagine. More than 750 facilities, as a matter of fact, and each one has to be inspected annually.More...
