RADVISION Releases New SIP Protocol Toolkit With Java APIs
Monday April 10, 8:30 am ET
Java SIP Toolkit 2 Enables Faster and Simplified Development of Advanced Telecom
Applications
FAIR LAWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2006--RADVISION (Nasdaq:RVSN -
News), a leading provider of multimedia conferencing and communications
platforms, today announced the release and immediate availability of a Java
version of its award-winning session initiation protocol (SIP) toolkit for
real-time communication applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and instant
messaging (IM). The new toolkit significantly shortens development cycles
thereby enabling even faster time-to-market for a variety of new and innovative
services.
"The release of the Java version underscores RADVISION's position as the leading
developer of SIP toolkits and is highly supportive of the ongoing migration of
telecommunications towards Internet Protocol (IP) using SIP technology," said
Adi Paz, Senior Director of Product Management and Marketing for RADVISION's
Technology Business Unit. "Many of our customers have been expressing the need
for a Java SIP toolkit, and we are pleased to meet their growing requirements."
Java programming language, which is rapidly gaining popularity among developers,
can be used to write software on one platform and run it on another, create
programs that run within web browsers, develop server-side applications, and
write applications for cell phones and other consumer communication devices.
Java SIP is a fundamental building block for web-based endpoint-oriented
communication applications.
The Java SIP Toolkit can be used to develop click-to-talk applications, as well
as a variety of applications for web call centers, and soft phones for laptops
and PDAs. It also can be used as a major building block for innovative and
time-critical advanced telecom services on the server-side such as: least-cost
call routing, smart call diversions based on user preferences, smart
conferencing, as well as for transforming text messages to voice playback.
Similar to all of RADVISION's SIP toolkits, the Java SIP toolkit addresses
carrier-side applications for soft switches and application servers. The Java
SIP Toolkit supports operator-grade loading of busy hour call attempts (BHCAs)
and has enhanced carrier-grade features, including advanced SIP signaling
functionality. The small footprint allows efficient operation in SIP terminals
and IP handsets, as well as network-side implementations. In addition, Java SIP
is considered to be the ideal advanced technology for service delivery platforms
(SDPs).
The Java SIP toolkit complies with the latest version of the JSR32 standard,
version 1.2, of which RADVISION is an active contributor.
Considered an industry-leading solution, RADVISION's award-winning SIP product
portfolio and the Java SIP Toolkit provide multiple application program
interface (API) layers for optimal control and flexibility when used to develop
new products and services. Designed from the ground up to be robust, highly
versatile development tools, the toolkits simplify development of communications
systems and devices based on Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) SIP.
