Use SOA and SIP to provide next-generation Network Services

As application developers and operators use standard-based information technology to create a new era of integrated and real-time communication, the prospect of telecom services is becoming more and more similar to that of the Internet industry. BEA Systems and Cantata Technology have been working closely together to enable operators in the Internet era to develop, apply, and deploy rich media services. BEA, the main application infrastructure provider, and Cantata, the world's leading independent enable communication technology provider, form partners to help operators provide rich next-generation multimedia services through fixed networks and mobile networks.

BEA provides a leading SOA infrastructure and a powerful, standard-based platform that allows you to build applications and manage SOA in even different IT environments. BEA WebLogic Communications Platform WebLogic communication Platform) is the first Platform that integrates IT and telecom services in a carrier-level environment. It enables operators to enhance the use of fixed network and wireless networks to carry out a variety of digital content and video services, thus increasing revenue. The WebLogic SIP server provides required call establishment and session management. However, carriers still need advanced media processing capabilities and standard interfaces that can interwork with BEA solutions, this allows carriers to provide scalable voice, video, and multimedia services. They also need a media gateway for cross-network connection. Cantata works with BEA Systems to provide reliable interaction and operability with BEA's WebLogic SIP server. At the same time, carriers can use Cantata's SnowShore IP Media Server and integrated media gateway 1010 to implement cross-fixed network and wireless network voice and multimedia services.

Cantata SnowShore IP Address Media Server

Cantata's SnowShore IP Media Server is the industry's leading software-based carrier-level IP Media Server Running in Red Hat Linux. Many industry-standard hardware platforms support this server. It makes full use of the simplicity, openness, and flexibility of SIP, VoiceXML, and MSCML to provide the industry with cost-effective and scalable media server solutions, this solution will provide comprehensive voice and video service support for the next generation of fixed network, wireless network, and broadband networks.

Cantata is the first Media Server Based on the SIP protocol. It launched the industry's first pure software product. The SnowShore IP server provides a highly optimized carrier-level architecture, making it an ideal choice for providing rich multimedia and next-generation IP services. It provides:

Advanced speech processing
Advanced Audio Processing
Rich multimedia processing
Industry-standard SIP/XML interface
Carrier-level
Flexible operation on industry-standard servers
SnowShore IP Media Servers use industry-standard server platforms and standard IP protocols, the server uses the evolution of the current network architecture and processor technology to provide future-oriented media processing solutions for next-generation IP applications. The server provides software-based media processing resources that support a wide range of applications, from basic instant messaging, multi-party meetings to prepaid services and video emails.

Operators can flexibly adjust their media processing capabilities by leveraging the scalable media server architecture that has passed tests in the world's busiest Web server applications. Cantata has brought the benefits of its large-scale investment in server technology, open-source development, and Moore's Law to the IP Media Server market.

Cantata integrated media gateway 1010

Cantata integrated media gateway 1010IMG 1010 ?) Is an integrated media and signaling gateway that can provide any voice network connection, it also makes it possible to provide the SIP service to the traditional SS7/PRI network and implement codec conversion for applications between IP networks.

IMG 1010 has a compact, high-density, 1U integrated SS7 terminal, software authorization for service expansion, and an Element Management System Based on a graphical user interface. It is a carrier-level VoIP gateway and decoder, it allows operators to quickly add IP-based services and provides a clear direction for full VoIP network migration. IMG 1010 can be deployed by the carrier on the edge of the access/transmission network for PSTN, mobile network, DSL or cable network connection.

Real-time service development

BEA and Cantata solutions allow operators to quickly develop multimedia services. For example, BEA recently developed a demo system to demonstrate speech and video conferencing applications. The application was completed by two developers in about ten days. BEA presented the application at the VON conference. Similarly, carriers can use industry-standard and powerful development tools and advanced SIP servers and media servers to accelerate the development and provision of multimedia services.

In the preceding application, a user creates a Multimedia Conference session. This meeting is just like a business meeting of operator-based voice conferencing systems that we are familiar. The difference is that it uses Web-based graphical interaction, allowing users to create a list of meeting times and invited participants. In addition, the application also sent an email containing the contact information related to the meeting. It also makes full use of the advanced multimedia features of the Cantata SnowShore media server to provide a rich multimedia experience for conference participants.

Text in the figure) through the easy-to-use graphical interface, participants can easily create Create a multimedia meeting.

This application is written by BEA WebLogic workshop and runs on the BEA WebLogic SIP server. You can use the GUI provided by the BEA WebLogic Portal to create a meeting. BEA WebLogic SIP server uses the SIP protocol to communicate with the Cantata SnowShore IP Media ServerCantata SnowShore IP Media Server. It also uses the MSCML control Media processing function. By using XMLBeans, the application generates and compiles MSCML. XMLBeans is an open-source XML binding tool developed by BEA. The BEA WebLogic Workshop tool allows developers to easily create Web-oriented SIP and XML interfaces Integrated Applications created by using the SnowShore Media Server.
