CommuniGate Systems Rolls Out Upgrades for VoIP and Sip Services
By Laura Stotler, TMCnet Contributing Editor
CommuniGate Systems has announced its “Trade In and Trade Up” program to enable carriers to upgrade to new value-added services including VoIP, SIP/XMPP secure IM and hosted PBX.
The program will enable carriers to trade in legacy email software, saving on support and maintenance services. They may then “trade up” to replace antiquated messaging systems and offer a full suite of IP communications solutions.
CommuniGate’s initiative will enables service providers to smoothly migrate their communications services to an IMS-ready platform. It is targeted toward providers that have customers unable to access SIP-based IP communications networks because their email solutions use legacy technology.
The providers will be offered a full CommuniGate Pro license, replacing their existing ongoing support costs. A simple migration will then enable providers to offer a number of enhanced IP communications services.
Carriers may choose which features of the CommuniGate Pro suite they wish to deploy. The modules offered include SIP Proxy, Session Border Controller (SBC), IP PBX, clustered voice through a SIP Farm, audio conferencing, XMPP support and voice mail.
The CommuniGate Pro programming language may also be used to develop custom applications. The XML Interface for Messaging, Scheduling and Signaling (XIMSS) may be used to create lightweight applications that may be quickly rolled out to market.
“We see a growing need in the carrier segment to build a new, integrated foundation for all IP Communications in order to strengthen their market position and create new applications for revenue,” said Jon Doyle, vice president of business development for CommuniGate Systems.
Doyle continued: “The feedback we are receiving is tremendous as the world is now adopting SIP based Communications. Mobility and productivity will rise and traditional closed and location locked access will die.”
“We will witness a fundamental change in the communications landscape over the next five years just as we saw in the early 90s with email becoming the communication standard medium for business,” added Doyle. “Holding users to a location with a phone number, or charging them for roaming to other locations will soon be replaced with the mobility and portability of VoIP -- where one address finds a person anywhere, anytime.”
