A-Z Listing of SIP Technology Companies

t's been a tough year for telecom vendors and carriers as capital expenditures have been slashed and network builds have been scaled back. However IDC's Worldwide IP Telephony Equipment Forecast 2002-2007 suggests the long-term prospects for voice-over-packet technology remain excellent despite the telecom downturn. In 2003, the voice over telephony market is expected to grow by 39 per cent and will touch $ 3,336 million. The overall market is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 45 per cent to reach a revenue base of $15.1 billion by the year 2007. "

As voice-over-IP gains momentum in large organisations, they should also familiarise themselves with SIP. As deployment of VOIP services and networks increase, SIP would reside at the core of the deployment. Designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the Internet Engineering Task Force's standard for multimedia conferencing over IP. SIP can be used to establish, maintain, and terminate calls between two or more end points. With its foundation in Internet protocols, SIP provides the ability to integrate traditional voice services with Web-based data services, including self-based provisioning, instant messaging, presence, and mobility services. Like other VOIP protocols, SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling and session management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-end call.

According to a White Paper produced by Cisco SIP provides the capabilities to:

• Determine the location of the target end point-SIP supports address resolution, name mapping, and call redirection.

• Determine the media capabilities of the target end point-Via Session Description Protocol (SDP), SIP determines the "lowest level" of common services between the end points. Conferences are established using only the media capabilities that can be supported by all end points.

• Determine the availability of the target end point - If a call cannot be completed because the target end point is unavailable, SIP determines whether the called party is already on the phone or did not answer in the allotted number of rings. It then returns a message indicating why the target end point was unavailable.

• Establish a session between the originating and target end point-If the call can be completed, SIP establishes a session between the end points. SIP also supports mid-call changes, such as the addition of another end point to the conference or the changing of a media characteristic or codec.

Handle the transfer and termination of calls-SIP supports the transfer of calls from one end point to another. During a call transfer, SIP simply establishes a session between the transferee and a new end point (specified by the transferring party) and terminates the session between the transferee and the transferring party. At the end of a call, SIP terminates the sessions between all parties.

Service providers are deploying converged voice-and-data services based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to meet the demands of a changing business environment, to attract new customers, and to add to their portfolio of revenue-generating services. It promises to have the same impact as HTTP on how we communicate in real time on mobile or standard phones, using computers, personal Digital Assistants or over any type of IP-based device. In the Telecom and networking area SIP would be a hot area.
In the first of its company series.
