ATIS’ OBSERVATIONS
ICT is an industry in transformation.
• Transition From Hybrid to All-IP Networks
• Hardware-based Solutions Migrating to Software-based
Solutions
• Vertical Web Delivery Migrating to Horizontal Cloud Integration
• Collision of IT, Content, Web, Communications, and Network
Businesses
• Non-Traditional Players Challenging Business Models and the
Eco-System
• Innovation Cycles Shorter
• Cost Reduction Pressures Higher
• Defining and Delivering the Ultimate Customer Experience

HIGHLIGHT OF ATIS ACTIVITIES
ATIS’ Current Priorities Reflect ICT’s Transformation:
• Software-Defined Networking/Network Functions
Virtualization – ATIS is launching a comprehensive effort
focused on inter-provider NFV.
• All-IP Transition – ATIS is addressing every aspect of this
transition by enabling interoperability for new services,
addressing cost structures, and providing interconnection
protocols, templates and processes.
• Leveraging Network Intelligence – Enabling operators to
increase their return on their big data assets by taking
advantage of emerging technologies to better utilize available
network information.

HIGHLIGHT OF ATIS ACTIVITIES
• ATIS’ “Analysis of the SPDY Protocol and SPDY Proxy”
addresses Google’s experimental protocol for a faster web.
• SPDY has been submitted to the IETF for standardization as
HTTP 2.0.
• ATIS launched the Open Web Alliance (OWA) to develop
requirements for an open service optimization proxy to
meet the service needs of all stakeholders in the web
ecosystem while supporting the goals of encryption and
privacy – issues central to HTTP 2.0’s success.
• To address SPDY’s impact on network management and valueadded services, OWA will publish an open service optimization
proxy document before the completion of HTTP 2.0
(November 2014).

HIGHLIGHT OF ATIS ACTIVITIES
• ATIS’ Device Solutions Initiative (DSI) directs the Open Real-
Time Communications APIs (ORCA) project which:
• Simplifies call control for real-time web applications
• Provides web developers with APIs that are consistent
across service providers
• Combines the reliability of standards-based
interoperability with the speed and innovation of open
source software solutions
• An ORCA demo is planned for Q4 2014:
• Demonstrate the functionality, value and capabilities of
ORCA APIs to encourage adoption by app developers and
IT managers

ATIS’ DIRECTION
• Rapid integration of network and IT will enable
companies to provide services with interoperable,
media-rich, service-oriented networks.
• Advancing the value of ATIS’ members’ networks
demands continual transformation in how we develop
solutions and standards.
• Increasing end-user value, acknowledging the changing
business models of ATIS members, and delivering
innovative output -- embracing open source solutions
in addition to standards and beyond -- are central to
ATIS’ focus.
