IP (Internet Protocol) -based data networks
have gained widespread popularity as the unifying platform to carry voice, video, fax, and
data. IP Telephony Gateways have emerged as cutting-edge devices that allow the
packetization and transportation of voice over IP, and also serve to bridge the gap
between the traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and IP-based data
networks, allowing voice calls to traverse voice and data networks seamlessly.
One of the considerable challenges facing the IP Telephony
industry is a lack of standardization and interoperability among different vendors
products. The ITU's H.323 protocol is the front-runner in the standards space, but there
are also a number of other specifications competing for industry mindshare
including SIP and MGCP.
ConvergeNET is
a TCP/IP-based network that will bring IP Telephony Gateways and Gatekeepers together in a
proof-of-concept environment. The ConvergeNET platform will provide the means to interface
various Gateways and Gatekeepers and examine their degree of standards compliance and
interoperability.
ConvergeNET will be a network that we construct, allowing
exhibitors to connect with other exhibitors for the purpose of proving that their Internet
telephony products interoperate with others. Interoperability is crucial in the Internet
telephony field and ConvergeNET will be the proving ground.
