The HSS SIP Server Framework
Looking to develop a next Wireless or Wireline Killer Application?.
Looking for a SIP Proxy implementation?
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has today established
itself as the most preferred standard for Voice over Packet
(VoP) networks. SIP's success stems from its simplicity of
implementation, modularity of architecture and ability to
deploy future-proof software components. It is poised to become
the very foundation of a slew of new services on the block
such as Unified-messaging, Follow-me, Presence and Location
based services.
To a company formulating its strategies to roll out SIP based
products and services, Hughes Software Systems' (HSS) SIP
Server Framework (SF) can help capture the two more critical
success factors: time-to-market and mature, robust and well-tested
product/service offering.
The SIP-SF is a true rapid application development environment.
It provides tested and standards complaint core SIP functionalities
like Proxy, Registrar, Redirect, B2B UA, and Location Server.
More importantly the framework allows application developers
to build upon these core functionalities and deliver niche
applications.
What can you build using the HSS SIP Server
The HSS SIP Server Framework provides a robust platform to
build SIP-enabled:
- P-PBX
- Call Centers
- Conference Controller
- Next Generation Application Server
- Network Router
Success Stories
HSS SIP SF: A case study in success
The HSS SIP SF already enjoys significant acceptance in the
next generation network industry. Several HSS customers have
used the SIP SF in varied networks to deliver differentiated
next generation applications. Following are some SIP SF success
stories :
Application platform vendor chooses the HSS SIP Server
to develop and deploy its application switch platform
- UV Systems Corp., an application switch platform vendor,
enables service providers to offer managed telephony applications
such as IP-PBX and IP Centrex. UV Systems Corp chose the
HSS SIP SF as the platform to develop and deploy its application
switch platform. HSS' SIP SF provided UV Systems with a
well-tested and mature implementation, thereby drastically
reducing the product development cycle.
Further, the architectural flexibility of the SIP SF allowed
UV Systems to use and chain together standard SIP components
such as Proxy/Registrar/Redirect of the SIP SF to develop
its niche server application functionality.
Telecom equipment vendor benefits from the rapid-time-to-market
advantage through the HSS SIP Server Framework
- XM Networks, a telecom equipment vendor specializing in
next generation network equipment, provides IP-network integration
services to network service providers and enterprises. XM
Networks benefited from the rapid-time-to-market advantage
through its investment in HSS' SIP SF as a core network
SIP proxy. Since the HSS SIP SF is designed and tested for
carrier grade reliability and scalability, XM Networks could
satisfy its customers with successful trials within one
month of its decision.
Application Server Vendor develops software for real-time
collaboration using the HSS SIP Server
- AB Software Corp., an application server vendor specializing
in next generation network multi-media collaboration applications,
develops software for real-time collaboration and communication
over computer networks. HSS' SIP SF provided ready to run
functionality for standard conferencing systems, and also
provided powerful extension mechanisms. AB Software was
easily able to add extensions and proprietary code to uniquely
address their market segment.
Simplicity of implementation, modularity of architecture
The HSS SIP Server Framework' success stems from its simplicity
of implementation, modularity of architecture and ability
to deploy future-proof software components. The HSS SIP SF
builds on these inherent advantages of the SIP standard and
provides a rich foundation of re-usable and extendable components
required for implementing SIP servers.
HSS' SIP SF superior architectural flexibility ensures that
the server can be configured to suit diverse architectural
requirements and yet provide carrier grade reliability and
scaling.
Moreover, the HSS SIP SF offers the flexibility to dynamically
change the behavior of the framework to work as any of the
above components on a call-by-call basis. It also provides
additional control through a rich XML-based configuration
file, which the user can modify to change behavior, as well
as complete control through a rich set of callbacks and hooks
that the application can over-ride.
The framework is fully scalable and performance sensitive.
It isolates the user from all SIP specific protocol and behavioral
details so that people building solutions focus on what services
to provide and the framework can take care of how. While the
HSS SIP SF serves as an out-of-box, ready-to-use solution,
its architecture is component-based and allows the various
components to be chained in any fashion to obtain a desired
functionality.
Maximize value and creating an enhanced customer experience
The SIP SF offering from HSS offers several high-end comprehensive
technical advantages:
- Implemented in C++ to offer full object oriented interface
- Load balancing and high availability integrated
- Performance oriented code
- Multi OS portability
- Basic, MD5 authentication
- In-built support for LDAP, DNS
- Abstract database interface with ODBC plug in
- Thread pool for scalability
- Remote configuration - SNMP, HTTP, API
- Full compliance to RFC 3261 of SIP
- Full compliance to RFC 2327 for Session Description Protocol

The HSS Commitment
"The HSS SIP Server Framework is yet another demonstration
of our commitment to help our customers in reducing costs
and getting to revenue faster," said Arun Kumar, President
and Managing Director of Hughes Software Systems. "Our
stated roadmap for interoperability and ensuring product adherence
to changing standards will reduce risk for our customers while
adding value through higher RoI.
