SITA invites you to join Fabiano Chies and Denis Berger on Wednesday, June 6th for a webinar on "a community-based approach to Voice peering for the air transport industry."
The air transport community faces extraordinary challenges, including rising fuel costs, increased competition and ever growing passenger numbers. It is also a uniquely global industry, with operations in over 220 countries and territories, 24/7. As a result there is a clear need for a cost effective, globally available, community-based approach to the delivery of voice and convergence services, which has led to the creation of the first inter-company voice peering service, the SITA Voice Exchange.

Fabiano Chies joined SITA in 2004 to establish the company’s Global Voice and Convergence Services, and is the father of the air transport industry’s first Voice Exchange. He is also the Chairman of the .aero council, the top level domain reserved exclusively for aviation.
