The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. software, today announced that it has joined both The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C (World Wide Web Consortium, www.w3.org) An international industry consortium founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee to develop standards for the Web. It is hosted in the U.S. by the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT (www.csail.mit.edu/index.php). ), an international consortium committed to leading the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web, and the SIP Forum The SIP Forum is a non-profit organization devoted to advancing the adoption of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), a signaling protocol for use in initiating, modifying, and terminating an interactive user session that involves multimedia elements such as voice, video, instant , a non-profit consortium that is the meeting place for developers of commercial Session Initiation Protocol (protocol) Session Initiation Protocol - (SIP) A very simple text-based application-layer control protocol. It creates, modifies, and terminates sessions with one or more participants. Such sessions include Internet telephony and multimedia conferences. It is described in RFC 2543. (SIP) based services and Internet technology. As a member of the W3C, BlueNote joins a worldwide list of leading company members, such as IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Intel, Google and Yahoo, committed to the development of, and education about, Web technologies, standards and interoperability. Through the use of Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs), businesses can build distributed applications using Web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. based on open Internet technologies such as SOAP, WSDL (Web Services Description Language) An XML-based language for defining Web services. Developed by Microsoft and IBM, WSDL describes the protocols and formats used by the service. and other specifications. BlueNote will continue its support for the growth and adoption of these existing and evolving Internet and Web-based standards to achieve an open, distributed application foundation for business applications. BlueNote will attain this through events, case studies, work group participation, standards promotion and more. SIP is a powerful, open communications standard based on Internet and Web technologies. SIP has emerged as the protocol of choice for establishing conferencing, telephony, multimedia, instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or and other types of communication sessions on the Internet. As a member of the SIP Forum, BlueNote will take part in the advancement of product interoperability and continue to help promote awareness about what existing and emerging SIP-compliant technologies and solutions can do for users and customers. "BlueNote is pioneering the integration of SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records. (2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability. and SIP, bringing together voice and video communications with data application development for the first time," said Sally Bament, vice president of Marketing at BlueNote Networks. "Our SessionSuite software provides the foundation to combine the distributed application capabilities of SOAs with SIP-based multimedia communication services, to deliver a powerful and flexible platform for the development of interactive communication applications. Membership in such quality institutions as the W3C and SIP Forum are a great opportunity to expand our leadership and contribution in this area, while ensuring we are at the forefront of the best technological advancements."
