Ubiquity Launches Integrated Service Creation & Delivery Solution for Service Providers with IBM

The integration of Ubiquity’s SIP Application Server into IBM WebSphere software provides service providers faster, easier runtime deployment and management while orchestrating the high availability strengths of J2EE and SIP Servers. Integrated with IBM Rational software, the Ubiquity SIP Toolkit offers service providers a unified development environment, managing the lifecycle of service creation. Ubiquity solutions are enabled with Linux, IBM DB2 Universal Database, IBM eServer BladeCenter and IBM eServer xSeries. The IBM BladeCenter integrates servers, storage, networking and software to create an environment that is reliable, secure and easy to deploy and manage.

IMS Converged Services Gateway

A whitepaper contribution from Ulticom

The 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is rapidly becoming the defacto standard for real-time multimedia communication services. Although the IMS was originally specified for 3G generation mobile networks, it also provides an excellent service deployment architecture for any fixed or wireless network, and all IP based wireless networks such as WiFi, corporate Enterprise LAN's, and the public Internet. IMS standards define open interfaces for session management, access control, mobility management, service control and billing. This allows the network provider to offer a managed SIP network, with all of the carrier-grade attributes of the circuit-switched network, but at a lower cost and with increased flexibility. In addition, the use of SIP as a common signaling protocol allows independent software vendors to leverage a broad range of third party application servers, media servers, and SIP-enabled end user devices to create next generation services.

SIP Call Redirection

The third in a series of mini tutorials presented by... SIPKnowledge, Inc.

Motivation:

It is 10pm. Joe is just about to join a four hour conference call. That means he will not be able to accept incoming calls. His girlfriend Lena is traveling in far away Europe. He knows she is about to call any moment from a pay phone using her calling card. He wants to let her know about the reason why he may miss her call. He knows that once her call comes in she will get redirected to his voice mail. If he could only have a special greeting playing for her letting her know the reason for his unavailability. At the same time his normal voice mail greeting should be playing for all other incoming calls.

See how SIP can solve the problem here...

SIP Center Blog list - A new page has been created with links to dozens of blogs on SIP, VoIP, Wi-Fi and other cool and interesting stuff.

 

The new Nortel Multimedia Office Client

At Supercomm 2005, Nortel announced a major breakthrough in enterprise communications with the introduction of a new multimedia communications plug-in for the world's leading corporate e-mail application, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

Nortel's new Multimedia Office Client is a stand-alone solution that leverages the 'Office Anywhere' capabilities of Nortel's Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based Multimedia Communication Server 5100 and 5200 to provide business users anywhere, anytime access to a full range of multimedia business communications. By integrating real-time multimedia communications within Outlook, and enabling these services to be used with existing business voice systems, the Nortel Multimedia Office Client can greatly simplify and enrich the business communications experience.

The Multimedia Office Client will reside within Outlook 2003 as a toolbar that enables users to manage and personalize voice, video and text communications, and to initiate calls from a desktop phone or headset simply by clicking on a contact name - all from within Outlook 2003. This plug-in, which can be deployed as an enterprise owned or service provider hosted service, goes beyond voice or text to provide a rich multimedia communications experience. The integrated video and collaboration services can use existing Centrex or enterprise voice systems for audio, complementing business voice services currently in use.

IP PBX and Service Provider Interoperability Task Group

SIP Forum Task Group Proposal

The deployment of IP PBXs among enterprises of all sizes is increasing rapidly. According to leading industry market research, including studies conducted by Frost & Sullivan, Synergy Research and CompTIA, IP PBX revenues are expected to surpass traditional TDM-based PBXs for the first time during 2005. Additionally, SIP, or Session Initiation Protocol, is fast becoming the dominant industry standard. Many new IP PBXs support SIP phones and SIP routing between one or more PBXs. Deployment of SIP infrastructure by service providers is also increasing, driven by the demand for commercial VoIP offerings. The result of these parallel deployments is an emerging need for direct IP peering between SIP-enabled IP PBXs and SIP-enabled service providers.

Existing SIP standards define a comprehensive set of building blocks that are currently used to achieve basic interconnection between SIP-enabled IP PBX systems and a service provider's SIP-enabled network. While such an interconnection allows the service provider to build service offerings for traditional PSTN call origination and termination, implementation details vary considerably among PBX vendors, and support for the delivery of personalized services to end-users of the IP PBX is typically limited.

The IP PBX and Service Provider Interoperability Task Group is proposed to address these limitations. This task group will propose one or more SIP Forum Recommendations that define the protocol support, implementation rules, and features required for predictable interoperability between SIP-enabled IP PBXs and SIP-enabled VoIP service providers.

SiPIT 17

SIPIT 17 will take place September 11-16, 2005 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The event is hosted by Hotsip. SIPit (Session Initiation Protocol Interoperability Test) is a weeklong event where people bring SIP-enabled products (and services) and exercise them to improve overall interoperability across multiple implementations. The SIPITs are open to anyone with a working SIP implementation. The goal of the events is to refine both the protocol and its implementations. The SIPITs are a driving force shaping SIP into a globally interoperable protocol for real time Internet communication services.
