January 16, 2011. World test day for IPv6 announced.
There's been plenty of talk about the shortage of IPv4 addresses and the imminent arrival of IPv6 as its replacement.What's not clear is how effective companies' IPv6 strategies are stacking up. However, a group of major web companies are ganging together to test how IPv6 will work in practice. Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Akamai have agreed to designate 24 June as World IPv6 day. According to a blog from Google network engineer, Lorenzo Colitti, nearly all Internet users should experience no problems
on the day but wrote that "In rare cases, users may experience connectivity problems, often due to misconfigured or misbehaving home network devices. Over the coming months we will be working with application developers, operating system vendors and network device manufacturers to further minimise the impact and provide testing tools and advice for users."
The problem is becoming more urgent as the world's supply of IPv4 addresses is expected to run out some time this summer - although it's hard to put an exact date as to when the last block of addresses will be released, although there are very few remaining now. Google is hoping that further companies will join the initiative as a co-ordinated co-operation by a multitude of websites will help to stress the IPv6 connections being used.

January 4, 2011. China Stop VoIP.
The Chinese regulator has declared Internet phone services other than those provided by China Telecom and China Unicom as illegal, which is expected to make services like Skype unavailable in the country.The decision was criticized as a measure to protect the duopoly of state-owned telecom carriers, media reports said yesterday.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said all VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) phone services are illegal on the Chinese mainland, except those provided by telecommunications carriers China Telecom and China Uniom. The ministry gave no timetable on when the ruling takes effect.
VoIP is an Internet-based service that helps people save on phone calls. For example, a call to Japan or South Korea costs about 3.99 yuan (60 US cents) a minute, compared with 10 US cents a minute or even free for Skype users.
The decision is expected to make Skype, UUCall and other similar services unavailable in China.
"It's ridiculous," said Kan Kaili, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. "VoIP is a popular technology worldwide." Skype was not available to comment yesterday.
The ruling is designed to protect the state-owned carriers, a Xinhua report said.

November 10,2010. Switch VoIP hostedPBX system.
We post a good article that you can read completely in this site.
VoIP service has parked itself everywhere in the world with much oomph. Now avoiding it seems impossible since this technology is very cost effective and beneficial from all respects. Below are the eight chief points which allow you to convert your PBX system to a VoIP hosted PBX.
1. Shopping for a conventional landline appears as if you are shopping for a new vehicle. Once it starts functioning, the decrease in value begins to ooze out. In addition to that, the apparatus has to be replaced eventually. But why not to save the costs by just going for a voice over Internet protocol hosted PBX system.
2. With voice over Internet protocol hosted PBX, you are at liberty for buying the quantity of users you need now. Besides later on more users as per the requirement could be added. This surely saves you money.
3. Having a VoIP PBX service system has no loss at all for you whereas a regular exchange comes with a depreciation loss. The moment you purchase the normal PBX exchange, it decreases the value to almost 70% but buying a VoIP PBX, you have no worries at all since you will not buy any equipment in the future.

CAFE: Converged Application Framework Essentials Sailfin. SailFin CAFE is a server-side Java framework on top of JSR 289 (SIP Servlet 1.1) with media-control and IMS capabilities for simplifying the development of SIP and Converged applications. SailFin CAFE is a sub-project of SAILFIN. This framework enables rapid development of converged communication services usingJava EE. SailFin CAFE provide the implementation of the communication scenarios and exposes a Java API to use them in an effective way. These services include Call Control Scenarios, Conferencing,Media control, Presence and Instant messaging (pager and non-pager). The API make use of Java EOD features and principles like POJOs, Annotations and dependency injection. At thecentre of the CAFE framework is a POJO annotated with an annotation called CommunicationBean. These Communication Beans act as the event listener for any communication operationinitiated in the network. For example, when a SIP INVITE is sent by user, that would result in an event in the CommunicationBean. A method in a Communication Bean, when annotated with a particular event annotation (with appropriate attributes) act as the event listener for the communication. |

July 13,2010. IMS Operator Surveys Show Trend toward Mobile Deployments.
Source: Voipplanet.com As part of its Continuous Research Service (CRS) series of analyst notes and surveys about telecom carrier next-generation voice markets, Infonetics Research this month published two global service provider surveys: !IMS Product Features and Vendor Ratings and IMS Service Strategies. The surveys provide insights into carrier IMS service strategies, preferred IMS core product features and capabilities, drivers and barriers for deploying IMS, and how service providers perceive vendors in the IMS market. "Infonetics has been surveying service providers about their IMS plans for six years now, and this year’s results represent a turning point, with IMS now perceived as becoming a more mature technology, and indications that there are no longer any big barriers to IMS deployment. Another important trend is that—although fixed-line VoIP continues to dominate deployments—there is a clear rise in plans for mobile services over IMS by 2012. On the vendor front, Ericsson continues to be the leading IMS vendor in terms of equipment installed by respondent operators, followed by Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent," notes Diane Myers, directing analyst for service provider VoIP and IMS at Infonetics Research.Source: |
April 15, 2010: AT&T's signal boosting 3G MicroCell hitting the shelves in San Francisco today.
If AT&T gets a bad rap for having poor signal quality in any city, it’s San Francisco. Part of this is due to the sudden influx of iPhones in the Silicon Valley that began in 2007, putting an almighty strain on the network; of the roughly 800,000 or so people living in San Francisco, we’re estimating that around 10 million of them (or 1,150%) are carrying iPhones. Throw in ridiculous topography and monstrous buildings, and it starts to get tough to properly blanket the entire area in radio waves. Thus, it should come as no surprise that San Francisco is one of the first cities to be getting AT&T’s cell-tower-in-a-box, the 3G MicroCell. AT&T just hit us up to let us know that we should start seeing the little router-sized, broadband-powered signal boosters on the shelves in their San Francisco stores beginning today. If you’re in a dead zone or if the ridiculously sized buildings around your home are causing your calls to fail on the regular, you might want to consider picking one of these up. It’ll set you back $150 bucks up front, but there’s no monthly fee — that is, unless you want unlimited minutes whenever you’re connected to your MicroCell. That’ll set you back $20 bucks a month. We just got our hands on one of these things this evening, and we’ll be heading up to the city later this week to give it a spin. Check back for a hands on report some time this week. March 3, 2010.

January 19, 2010. ITU options for the 2.6 GHZ band.
January 14, 2010. 2.6 GHz Band Vital for the
Growth of LTE According to GSMA Backed Research. The licensing of the 2.6 GHz band will be critical to unlocking the benefits of global scale economies in the Mobile Broadband market, according to a new report* by US-based research firm Global View Partners in partnership with the GSMA. The research found that the 2.6 GHz spectrum, which has been identified globally by the ITU as the ‘3G extension band’, will be vital in satisfying the demand for greater capacity for Mobile Broadband and launching next-generation networks such as LTE, which will start to be deployed commercially around the world this year. “There is clear evidence that the volume of data flowing over mobile networks is growing rapidly and is being accelerated by the popularity of smart phones and the growth in music and video downloads,” said Tom Phillips, Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer at the GSMA. “The report highlights that the 2.6 GHz band will allow operators to address rapidly increasing traffic volumes in an efficient and harmonised way. Recent licensing of this band in Hong Kong, Norway, Finland and Sweden, for example, has highlighted that there is more demand for paired (FDD) than unpaired spectrum (TDD) and that the ITU’s recommended Option 1** plan is the best structure to stimulate market growth in a technology-neutral and competitive environment.” Read More January 5, 2010. AT&T sends Letter to FCC, ask the end of PSTN networks. More info
AT&T has asked the FCC to set a firm deadline much like the deadline given to television broadcasters to switch from analog to digital transmission so that telephone companies can stop supporting legacy voice systems and focus their efforts on building and supporting the new IP network. Since VoIP was the industry of the decade, this latest move could truly spell the end for Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS). AT&T's language did not mince words: "with each passing day, more and more communications services migrate to broadband and IP-based services, leaving the PSTN and POTS as relics of a by-gone era." Ouch. Looks like what's next for IP-communications is that the VoIP industry will be the voice provider of the very near future.

Verizon wireless is finally saying when it will go live with Long-Term Evolution, in this week's roundup of news on the new mobile broadband technology. March 18,2010: The Event for SIP's Developers SIPit 26
What is SIPit? The SIPit, or Session Initiation Protocol Interoperability Test, is a weeklong event where people bring their SIP implementations to ensure they work together. SIPit has been organized by the SIP Forum for over ten years, contributing to greater interoperability between SIP implementations and improvements of the IETF SIP specifications. Each SIPit is open to anyone with a working SIP implementation. The goal of the events is to refine both the protocol and its implementations. SIPit is a driving force shaping SIP into a globally interoperable protocol for real time Internet communication services. To watch a video presentation of SIPit 25 by Dan York - click here! Currently, SIPit is held twice a year. Different companies or organizations host each event, and each host chooses the venue. SIPit 26 is hosted by Edvina in cooperation with Tandberg.

January 5, 2010. Good tools to boost the traffic!!!
Nordic-based mobile marketing company, More Mobile Relations, has helped regional operator Telia Sonera dramatically boost uptake of its multimedia services by using MMS as a marketing tool. More Mobile Releations began sending a group of Telia Sonera subscribers a set of MMSs with the aim of increasing their knowledge of the various services offered by their operator. Included in the messages were information about what a mobile portal is, what it contains, and where the user has to go to access it. It was sent directly to subscribers’ mobile inboxes, which were equipped to receive MMS messages. Source and more info December 18, 2009: Who wins with SMS and Voice over LTE?
Despite the fact that data traffic is growing exponentially, mobile operators are witnessing a divergence of data revenues and traffic load curves due to flat rate price models. Thus, network efficiency must improve in order to ensure that the cost-per-bit to deliver a service is attained at a bare minimum in comparison to the existing cellular technologies. Many opine that the next generation long term evolution (LTE) technology can achieve these goals, with the technology currently being trialled by several operators worldwide.
