SIP ENDPOINTS
Hotsip
Active Contacts from Hotsip is client software for PCs, PDAs, and
mobile terminals (supporting Windows, Pocket PC, EPOC and Java/J2ME),
which allows the creation of an operator-branded end-to-end solution.
Furthermore, Active Contacts is a Web and PocketPC-based application
designed to provide users with the ability to intercommunicate via VoIP,
instant messaging, text messaging, video conferencing. The PC client
version supports USB soft phones, which enables users to make and receive
telephone calls from the Internet or the PSTN.
Through its three-level architecture Active Contacts PC is designed to
support open standards and open interfaces. It is extensible through
plug-in concept for easy addition of new services. The client can with
great advantage be fully utilized together with the Hotsip server software
product suite and can be customized to match the customer�s brand. An SDK
is available for developing themes (look and feel), communication plug-ins
like conferencing, and automation programs for exporting and importing
presence information using APIs for e.g., Outlook Calendar integration.
Interactive
Intelligence, Inc.
Though SIP-based softswitches are made for next-generation call transport
over packet networks, they generally lack certain interaction management
applications. For example, inherent features such as voice mail still
require multiple communications servers and boxes within a SIP network.
Which is where the Windows 2000-based, SIP capable Interaction Center
Platform technology comes in.
In addition to replacing multi-box communications systems with a single
server, Interaction Center Platform supports a full suite of interaction
management software products that deliver voice mail and more. It can also
integrate with SIP-compliant Proxies and Registrars in addition to new IP
telephony boards. As a result, the Interaction Center Platform can drive
entire SIP oriented networks from just one server while also opening the
door to new SIP solutions from VoIP infrastructure providers.
Because the Interaction Center Platform supports the SIP RFC,
organizations leaning toward SIP standards can now get a full range of
voice- and Web-based interaction management features via a converged
voice/data network.
