ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) announced today the inclusion of Ericsson, Juniper Networks and Nokia Siemens Networks in the list of major sponsors of TIA’s annual industry event, TIA 2011: Inside the Network. They join Alcatel-Lucent, GENBAND, and Walker and Associates in supporting TIA’s new Summit and Exhibition being held this May 17-20 in Dallas, Texas.

TIA’s summit is designed for leading ICT network innovators and will serve as an integrated business, learning, networking and marketing event, both live and virtual. TIA 2011: Inside the Network is the first of its kind for the ICT industry.

TIA 2011: Inside the Network will facilitate business and technical conversations about how broadband communications suppliers, providers and operators will meet the needs of customers of all kinds with One Network - secure, reliable, scalable, and sustainable.

Earlier this month TIA announced that AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson will deliver the opening keynote address.

“TIA 2011 is more than an event, it’s an open-ended conversation that addresses a need we've heard from the industry, to bring together the most innovative ICT industry leaders to discuss challenges and opportunities relating to the future of the network,” said TIA President Grant Seiffert. “With the support and participation of such thought leaders, TIA will produce an event that will engage, energize, and expand the industry’s future, supporting President Obama’s call in last night’s State of the Union address for innovation and investment in ICT technology.”
