Continuous Computing enhances VoIP portfolio
October 19, 2004
Continuous Computing, a provider of high availability platform solutions for telecom equipment manufacturers to deploy converged communications, announced significant enhancements to its Trillium Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) product portfolio.
The company is introducing the Trillium IP Bearer Control Protocol (IP-BCP) offering for seamless integration into networks using Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC). Continuous Computing also announced product updates to Trillium SIP and Trillium GCP (H.248/MEGACO compliant) protocol stacks as well as roadmaps to address high availability and reliability for these products. With these enhancements Continuous Computing enables customers to deliver solutions that address the carrier-grade scalability needs of the VoIP and 3G Wireless network deployment.
3G Wireless technologies are gradually entering the commercial rollout phase and many carriers worldwide are adopting the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture to take advantage of the easier service creation environment to deliver revenue-generating services in a packet-based infrastructure. To support this ongoing market evolution, Continuous Computing's Distributed Fault-Tolerance/High-Availability (DFT/HA) architecture -- successfully field-deployed with the Trillium SS7 and Trillium SIGTRAN signaling products -- is now being extended to the VoIP signaling products. These enhancements will enable global telecom manufacturers to rapidly build network elements such as Call State Control Functions (CSCF), Wireless Media Gateways, SIP phones and servers, Softswitches, Multimedia Resource Control Functions (MRCF) and Bearer Interworking Functions (BIWF) for the decomposed IMS architecture.
"One of our core strengths is to identify new product requirements and to respond to new demands to enable our customers to deploy the most advanced solutions as VoIP and 3G Wireless networks rapidly evolve," said Neeraj Patel, Marketing Manager, Continuous Computing.
Current Trillium SIP protocol stack updates include support for Transport Level Security (TLS), Signaling Compression (SIGCOMM), 3GPP defined drafts, RFCs for specific use of SIP in R5/R6 network architecture and the addition of the redundancy module based on Trillium DFT/HA architecture. The updated SIP stack provides superior performance, PROTOS compliance and has been interoperability tested with multiple vendor solutions at recent SIPit organized test events.
