Wholesale VoIP specialist Solegy (News - Alert) announced this fall a new hosted VoIP service, designed to enhance its ServicePDQ platform. The new service can easily be integrated with network applications.

 

Solegy’s new managed presence service supports a variety of protocols, including SIP/SIMPLE, XMPP, Parlay and IMS. It manages the “presence” of users by indicating whether they are present, online, busy, or away.

 

In an announcement about the service, Solegy explained that clients can use the solution to insert, query and share information about the status, location and capabilities of registered users. That information can include private or public IP addresses, latitude and longitude, terminal type, and availability of video.

 

By providing these capabilities, Solegy said in its announcement that the new service, when used with the ServicePDQ platform, enables enhanced capabilities such as online charging, real-time resource allocation, and delegated administration. This makes entry into VoIP low-risk, and empowers a range of next-generation applications.

 

The new service is available as a managed, carrier-grade platform, designed specifically to help service providers and network operators incorporate presence management into their online applications with a minimum of CAPEX and OPEX (News - Alert). It is equally suited for peer-to-peer and server-centric applications.

 

Also available is a hosted peer server, which takes advantage of the service’s distributed architecture. Pricing ranges from $.10 to $2.00 per subscriber, depending on number of subscribers.

 

As part of the roll-out of this new service, Solegy also announced a cross-platform component as part of its Open Source SIP initiative, designed to speed up deployment of applications.
