Trillium Announces Availability of Feature-Rich SIP Stacks.Business Editors LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2000 SIP Expands Trillium's Portfolio of Internet Telephony Another term for IP telephony and VoIP. In the late 1990s, some people made a distinction between Internet Telephony and VoIP: Internet telephony referred to voice over the public Internet, while VoIP referred to voice over private IP networks. Software Solutions for Fast and Easy Deployment of Voice-over-IP Trillium Digital Systems, an Intel company and leading provider of communications software (communications, software) communications software - Application programs, operating system components, and probably firmware, forming part of a communication system. These different software components might be classified according to the functions within the Open Systems solutions, announced the availability of its carrier-class, feature-rich 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) stacks to enable multimedia conferencing See videoconferencing and data conferencing. and Internet telephony. Scheduled for shipment starting in January 2001, the SIP stacks will complement Trillium's existing offering of award-winning Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) telephony software solutions including H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP See MGCP/MEGACO. MGCP - Media Gateway Control Protocol ), Media Gateway Control (MEGACO/H.248) and SS7-over-IP (SIGTRAN (SIGnaling TRANsport) An IP telephony protocol from the IETF that is used to transfer SS7 signals over IP networks. The telco switch sends SS7 signals to a signaling gateway (SG) that converts them into SIGTRAN packets, which travel over IP to the next signaling gateway or ). Trillium's SIP stacks, in conjunction with Trillium's other IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. software solutions and its Quick!Start service program, will empower communications equipment manufacturers to quickly build and deploy IP telephony network elements that exceed the performance requirements of next-generation networks. SIP is a signalling protocol used to transmit voice, video and data through applications in IP telephony, video telephony See videophone. and multimedia conferences. This standards-based protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). specifies the basic and supplementary services to create, modify and delete multimedia sessions or calls. SIP will play a major role in the deployment of IP 3G wireless networks and will enable robust wireless applications such as mobile Internet. Trillium's SIP stacks conform to the Trillium Advanced Portability Architecture (TAPA(R)), and aim to deliver the same advantages customers have come to rely on from Trillium's comprehensive suite of communications software solutions. These advantages include proven reliability, support and quality through compact code size, high performance, heightened portability, scalability, and optimal modularity and extensibility. "With our SIP offering, Trillium furthers its position as a premier provider of IP telephony solutions to enable next-generation network applications," said Rich Cahalan, president and COO of Trillium Digital Systems, Inc. "We are pleased to offer customers the industry's most complete suite of standards-based IP telephony solutions." Trillium's SIP stacks are a full function software solution in C source code with a powerful management interface that provides detailed call statistics and accounting information, robust error detection and recovery, and efficient run-time controls. Trillium's SIP stacks can act as a standalone registrar, proxy or redirect server with minimal interaction with service-user applications. It is capable of performing multiple logical functions (such as user agent, proxy, redirect and registrar server) simultaneously. Furthermore, Trillium's SIP has a rich set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that allows support for different network configurations. Trillium's optimally designed SIP stacks can be rapidly deployed across different platforms ranging from desktop or mobile SIP phones to carrier class infrastructure equipment. In addition to its flexible implementation benefits, Trillium's SIP provides unique mechanisms for ensuring efficient usage and management of system resources in real-life, high-stress, carrier-class infrastructure environments.
