SipExchange 0.0.4a released
SipExchange gets a technology face-lift
June 03, 2007,
Raleigh, NC.
We are pleased to announce the public release of
SipExchange
r0.0.4a. This is an Alpha release to give users a preview of the
system. The initial releases of SipExchange used underlying software
technologies that are being now replaced with more powerful and
advanced technologies. For some time, we have been considering
migrating to newer technologies so that SipExchange can take full
advantage of the recent advances. This release is one of a number of
releases that will move SipExchange to the latest technologies. In this
release, we have migrated the back-end business logic to the latest
J2EE technology. In the upcoming releases, we will migrate the
web-based user interface to a newer technology. Although the end-user
will see no new SIP features with this release, but it will allow us to
offer new features in future releases much more easily and
quickly.
SipExchange is an open-source softswitch that provides
standard SIP services like registration, proxy and presence. Using
the
SipExchange application, service providers can offer telephone services
to their subscribers as well as other services based on voice, video
and instant messaging. SipExchange supports many of the standard
subscriber features offered by the traditional
telephone exchanges and PBXs. In addition, SipExchange supports
external call
control capabilities using which service providers and software
developers can create new features and
services rapidly and plug them into the SipExchange application.
The following are the highlights of the release.
- SipExchange now is developed using the EJB3 architecture.
The EJB3 architecture is the latest J2EE specification for enterprise
application development. Although the end user do not see any
difference but it is now much easier to develop back-end business logic
because of this new technology.
- Initial (experimental) support for web services is
provided.
- The automated unit tests have been revamped.
- A number of bugs have been fixed.
