Motorola Announces its First VoIP Open Application-Enabling Platforms
Integrated Platforms Enable Telecom Equipment Manufacturers to Create VoIP- Enabled Products Faster, Using Less Resource
TEMPE, Ariz. — 25 Oct. 2005 — Motorola (NYSE: MOT) today announced its first Voice over IP (VoIP) Open Application-Enabling Platforms and outlined plans to extend the product range in the future.
The first generation of VoIP Open Application-Enabling Platforms is based on Motorola’s FACT-SIP software integrated with ComStruct™ CompactPCI packet voice resource boards.
The FACT-SIP software package allows Motorola’s ComStruct packet voice resource hardware to be controlled by sending Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) commands across an IP socket from an application. This makes it easy to interface existing SIP-based applications and devices directly to ComStruct hardware to create VoIP enabled applications, such as IP-PBX and VoIP access gateways.
Motorola also intends to create new VoIP Open Application-Enabling Platform families that integrate FACT-SIP software with MicroTCATM and AdvancedTCA® hardware. The increasing adoption of SIP supports Motorola’s vision of seamless mobility by making it easier for devices and applications to communicate.
“SIP is at the core of our VoIP Application-Enabling Platform strategy. This open industry standard is becoming the de-facto call control protocol for setting up and controlling voice and multimedia services across IP links,” said Nigel Forrester, Media Products Marketing Manager with Embedded Communications Computing, Motorola. “Our strategy is to integrate packet voice resource boards with SIP software, creating tested VoIP Platforms that make it easy to voice-enable SIP applications, without the need to generate low-level code or directly control hardware. Motorola’s Open Application-Enabling Platform approach can help telecom equipment manufacturers to speed up VoIP product development while helping to reduce risk in the development process.”
FACT-SIP integrates proven, open-standard SIP protocol software with robust voice processing resources including codecs, tones and carrier-class echo cancellation. FACT-SIP also includes a simple management interface that enables a packet voice resource board to be reconfigured using a web browser.
FACT-SIP is expected to be available in the first quarter 2006.
Business Risks
Statements about VoIP Open Application-Enabling Platforms and the functionality of these platforms are forward-looking and involve risk and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements include (unforeseen events related to the network architecture, performance of the networks to standards, performance of participant products) and other factors in Motorola’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
About Session Initiation Protocol
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a call control protocol used to set up and control voice and multimedia services across IP links. It has been standardized through the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) under RFC3261.
SIP uses a small set of commands and a group of simple three digit response codes. This straightforward structure has stimulated the development of a multitude of SIP devices and applications and this trend is expected to accelerate.
About ComStruct™ Packet Voice Resource Boards
The ComStruct™ family of CompactPCI® packet voice resource boards is designed to provide high-density packet voice functionality. The PVRB384, PVRB672 and CPCI-8220 support 384, 672 and 2016 voice channels respectively. Suitable for VoIP media gateway and line card applications, ComStruct CompactPCI boards have an extensive range of I/O capability via the CompactPCI backplane and an RTM. These include in-shelf or external Gigabit Ethernet ports, local OC/3 ATM and DS3 or DS1 line termination, plus a full H.110 implementation for additional voice traffic.
