: 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.
