Wave Three Software Chooses Hughes
Software Systems' SIP Technology
HSS SIP Server Framework used as infrastructure for industry's
first fully SIP-controlled video conferencing and collaboration
suite
Boston, USA, September 24 2003
Hughes Software Systems (HSS), a leading provider
of global software outsourcing services, today announced a
co-development relationship with San Diego, CA based communication
company Wave Three Software, Inc. Wave Three has selected
HSS' SIP Server Framework to power its platform for multipoint
SIP video conferencing, the SessionTM Conference
Server.
The HSS SIP Server Framework is fully compliant
with the Internet Engineering Task Force's RFC 3261 and a
host of other drafts dictating the Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) standard. HSS launched the product in 2002 and it subsequently
won Internet Telephony's product of the year award. The SIP
Server Framework comes with built-in standard SIP functionalities
such as Call State Control Function (CSCF), Proxy, Registrar,
Redirect, Presence, B2B UA, and Location Services. Its architectural
flexibility ensures that it can be configured to suit diverse
customer requirements, while maintaining carrier grade reliability
and scalability. The server offers a rich set of reusable
components, which can be combined in a plug-and-play fashion
to implement new services. It is an ideal fit for core routers,
3G-based and CSCF function-based Call Servers as well as other
SIP-based network elements.
"With rapidly evolving IETF standards,
we sought a flexible and scalable solution that would allow
us to introduce innovative audio and video services without
any concerns about protocol and conference call control changes,"
said Jim Schwartz, Senior Vice President of Product Development,
Wave Three Software. " HSS' SIP Server Framework allows
us to offer a robust, standards-compliant solution capable
of supporting the rapid development of new features to meet
our customer demands."
Manoranjan Mohapatra, Executive Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer, HSS commented: "Our SIP
infrastructure is continuously aligned with industry standards
to deliver future-proof solutions. Our customized services
ensure product evolution in line with standard protocols.
We believe in setting market trends, and with the Wave Three
deployment, we have hit another landmark in our quest to stay
at the forefront of communication technology."
Wave Three's Session Conference Server Software
is the industry's first fully SIP-based solution offering
multipoint Voice over IP, Video over IP and data sharing capabilities.
The Conference Server includes three modules: Conference Management,
which handles call reservation and general network administration;
Call Control, for setting up and tearing down calls; and Multimedia,
which pushes shared images and files to users. The suite can
run on a single Windows 2000 server or be spread over multiple
locations, depending on network configuration and the number
of users being supported.
Wave Three currently sells the Session Conference
Server to research, higher education and medical customers
as a low cost, high quality alternative to existing hardware-based
multipoint video conferencing solutions. "Session is
an appealing SIP-based application for video and audio,"
states Christine Perey, President, Perey Research and Consulting.
"It is priced to be attractive to companies piloting
new rich media communications technologies."
