Datang Selects Ubiquity for VoIP Applications Datang GoHigh Data Networks Technology Co., Ltd., an industry leading high-tech company based in China, today announced at the CHINA VOIP Conference that it has purchased Ubiquity’s SIP Application Server to create a suite of SIP-based VoIP communications applications aimed at service providers and enterprises. Datang Group’s communications software division, Datang GoHigh Data Networks Technology, is responsible for developing turnkey application solutions for service provider and enterprise customers. Using Ubiquity’s standards-based, programmable Service Creation Environment (SCE), GoHigh is initially creating a SIP-based prepaid calling application for carriers both in China and internationally, followed by conferencing, unified messaging and a host of other new IP-based services.“We have a deep understanding of telecommunications network architecture and services in China and have accumulated abundant service development experience,” said Desheng Zhao, CTO of Datang GoHigh. “We were impressed with the power and flexibility of Ubiquity’s open, SIP-based Service Creation Environment and are confident that together we will develop highly competitive services for next-generation and 3G networks. Ubiquity’s SIP Application Server provides us a way to harness our expertise in telecom services to rapidly create exciting new communication applications for our customers who are building IP-based next generation networks and seek to deliver value-add services.” The Ubiquity SIP Application’s SCE allows developers like Datang GoHigh to use a familiar and intuitive programming environment to quickly and cost-effectively create IP converged services like audio and video conferencing, unified messaging, prepaid calling, contact center and intelligent IVR services using a common, reusable set of Application Building Blocks. “We are proud of the enabling role our SIP Application Server is playing in GoHigh’s application development strategy,” said Alberto Cairo, Chief Operating Officer at Ubiquity. “Global operators can enjoy a best-of-breed solution that couples Datang GoHigh’s comprehensive expertise in developing sophisticated telecom services with Ubiquity’s carrier-grade SIP Application Server.” SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) SIP is a standard for setting up, modifying and terminating multimedia services or calls to one or multiple subscribers. SIP is based on the HTTP-based Internet approach. It is the protocol for networks of the future in that it provides not only telephony, but also services like presence, message notification, push services and their integration into the existing IP environment in the enterprise and carrier fields. SIP’s independence of “lower layer” protocols and its versatility and modularity make integrating new services into existing IP-based networks easy. |
