IntelliNet Technologies to Host Interoperability Event for Diameter Protocol.Leading Industry Players to Meet to Prove Interoperability of Key IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. Protocol and Applications MELBOURNE, Fla. -- IntelliNet Technologies, a leading provider of IMS technology and convergence solutions for wireless, wireline and IP networks, today announced that it will be hosting an interoperability event for the Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the (IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force ) Diameter protocol in association with the IETF Diameter Maintenance and Extensions Working Group. Participants include network equipment providers, application developers and service providers. The event will enable vendors supplying the Diameter protocol and solutions based on it to test their products in a standardized environment and to rigorously test the protocol and its applications in a controlled setting. The Diameter protocol evolved from the RADIUS protocol and provides the critical functions of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA AAA: see American Automobile Association. (Triple A) A common single-cell battery used in a myriad of electronic devices of all variety. Like its double A (AA) cousin, it provides 1.5 volts of DC power. When used in series, the voltage is multiplied. ), the framework for applications requiring subscriber access, charging and policy control in IP Multimedia Subsystem An integrated network for telecommunications carriers that uses the IP protocol as its foundation for packetized voice, video and data. Supporting voice over IP (VoIP) in all its flavors (SIP, H.323, MGCP, etc. (IMS) networks. Originally developed by the IETF, the Diameter protocol has also been adopted by several other standards groups covering wireless, wireline and broadband cable technologies, including the 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol , 3GPP2, ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe. TISPAN TISPAN TIPHON (Telecommunications and Internet Protocol Harmonization over Networks) and SPAN (Services and Protocols for Advanced Networks) (ETSI) and ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union . "The Diameter protocol has become increasingly important with the adoption of the IMS architecture by major network operators and the resulting rush to supply the network elements and consumer applications that will take advantage of the capabilities of the architecture," said John Loughney, chair of the Diameter Maintenance and Extensions working group of the IETF. "Interoperability testing events are critical to assure that such applications can be deployed seamlessly, fulfilling the promise of the IMS architecture." The Diameter Interop event will be held in Orlando, Florida from January 29 through February 2, 2007. It is open to all companies. "The hosting of this event is an indication of IntelliNet's focus on IMS technology," said Anjan Ghosal, president and chief executive officer of IntelliNet Technologies. "We have combined our growing expertise in IMS technology with our many years of experience in providing convergence solutions to become a one-stop shop for equipment vendors and application developers wanting to participate in the rapidly expanding IMS market."
