Edvina participates in SIPit 29

October 17, 2011

Edvina will participate in SIPit in Monaco in October 2011. SIPit has been running for 15 years, testing the IETF SIP realtime communication framework. SIPit is a place for developers, both commercial and Open Source, to meet and test implementations of old and new features in the SIP standards.

Edvina will participate with the focus to test SIP security standards and IPv6 implementations. During previous SIPit events, we have built test servers, the TLS-test-o-matic and IPv6-test-o-matic, for automated tests. We have also been participating in the group tests, evaluating various test setups and improving upon them.

-“SIPit is the place to be for everyone that develops SIP products. During our first few SIPits, we found and fixed hundreds of bugs in the Asterisk SIP implementation.” says Olle E. Johansson, CEO of Edvina and Asterisk developer. “In 2010, Edvina organized SIPit 26 in Stockholm Sweden together with Tandberg and .SE. Interoperability has been a key word in our business since 1987 and is now more important than ever, as we see proprietary solutions that lock customers into single-vendor solutions, like Skype and Microsoft Lync.”

Interoperability doesn’t happen by itself. Customers need to require it and developers need to test it. SIPit is important for everyone in the VoIP business. It improves products and standards, highlighting issues that need to be fixed in IETF’s documents as well as implementation errors. SIPit is organized twice a year by the SIP Forum in partnership with different hosts. SIPit in Monaco is hosted by ETSI.

Edvina SIP Masterclass in Oxford, UK – November 2011

October 15, 2011

Learn from the master: The Edvina SIP Masterclass is a five day training that  covers how to build scalable solutions with Asterisk, Kamailio and the SIP protocol, will be held November 7-11 outside Oxford in the UK. It’s a unique opportunity to spend one week with Olle E. Johansson – it’s the second public class this year in Europe! Olle is an engaging teacher that has years of experience in both teaching and developing large scale platforms for all kinds of environments, from carriers to universities, call centers and enterprises. He has over 20 years of experience in TCP/IP networking with Unix systems and have been teaching in a wide range of topics – from basic networking to PKI/TLS solutions, LDAP and during the last years, VoIP technologies and applications.

Understand the SIP architecture: The class gives a overview of the SIP core protocol in order to understand the IETF realtime communication framework and be able to build scalable multi-application platforms with SIP. Understanding the protocol is important not only for your architecture, but also for debugging and testing new functions.

Covers the major applications: The five day  Edvina SIP Masterclass is focused on Kamailio and Asterisk in a SIP network. The class assumes that you have knowledge about Asterisk compared with the Asterisk MasterClass. It is the perfect training for those who want to explore how to set up Asterisk in a SIP infrastructure with SIP proxies, SIP-aware firewalls and SIP services. While this class covers both Asterisk and Kamailio, it starts from previous knowledge in Asterisk and no knowledge about Kamailio. During the class, you get an introduction to the Kamailio SIP proxy and the basic operation of this advanced carrier class scalable SIP server.

New presentation by OEJ: Watch out – the Sip world is changing!

October 10, 2011

Last week Olle talked at the Vopi2day conference in Madrid, organized by Avanzada7. The talk, named “Watch out!” covers new areas developed in SIP, but not implemented in many devices or servers out there. Solutions for NAT traversal, PSTN trunk registration and new work with the real time web is covered, along with a small update to the list of 10 bullets to remember when implementing a new SIP platform.

The talk is now published on Slideshare and can be viewed online.
