Software, a pioneering Internet-infrastructure software developer, announced recently that it has joined the Sonus Networks (Nasdaq:SONS) Open Services Partner Alliance (OSPA OSPA - Office of Sponsored Projects AdministrationOSPA - Office of Systems Product Assurance OSPA - Ohio School Psychologists Association OSPA - Oklahoma School Psychological Association OSPA - Open Services Partner Alliance (Avant Telecom, Inovative Systems, Nextone, Sonus) OSPA - Operator Service Providers of America OSPA - Oregon School Psychologists Association OSPA - Oregon State Poets Association). Designed to provide a framework that offers service providers end-to-end packet-based network solutions, Sonus' OSPA aims to empower standards-based interoperability between applications, hardware vendors, and the Sonus product suite. Indigo will bring to the program the latest versions of its SIP user agent (1) The mail client in a messaging system. See messaging system. (2) A field in the HTTP request header that contains the name and version of the Web browser. See HTTP request header. and SIP proxy (Session Initiation Protocol proxy) A server in a SIP-based IP telephony environment. It is required in large companies with numerous telephone numbers or when the Internet is the long distance transport. The SIP proxy takes over call control from the terminals and serves as a central repository for address translation (name to IP address). The SIP proxy server provides similar functionality to a gatekeeper in an H. server, as well as other key network components. "We are pleased with the way our alliance has created so much interest in the telecom industry. Indigo's involvement illustrates the extent to which the program has attracted top companies that want to work with Sonus in promoting packet voice technology such as Indigo's SIP-based software and development tools," said Terri Griffin, Vice President of Marketing Programs, Sonus Networks. "Along with Indigo and other partners, we are focused on helping carriers provide next generation services to end users." "We are delighted to lend our support to this initiative to further the development of standards-based interoperability between communications infrastructure providers," said Edward Keegan, Head of Business Development at Indigo Software. "The OSPA helps speed up the delivery of our innovative new products to the carrier market." The Indigo Software product offering is a complete suite of SIP-centered software and development tools meeting the exacting communications industry requirements of reliability, scalability and performance. Indigo will be a featured participant in the Sonus Networks OSPA Live Demo at Supercomm 2001 in June.
