Edvina and Avanzada 7 offers grants for SIP Masterclass in Malaga
The next Edvina SIP Masterclass featuring Kamailio and SIP will take place the first week of July in Malaga, Spain. One week of labs, lessons and interaction with other people working with realtime communication will be a boost to your career, and give you insights into how you build scalable infrastructure platforms for SIP communication.
It’s a lot of fun and a great learning experience for everyone. But not everyone that needs it can afford participating, which is why we are offering a SIP Masterclass Grant programme this year.
Since there are hard times with a high rate of unemployment in Southern Europe, Edvina and Avanzada 7 has decided to open up a grant for a free seat in the class. To apply for this, you have to be unemployed and have previous experience with realtime communication – using Asterisk or FreeSwitch or maybe even OpenSER or Kamailio. Edvina and Avanzada 7 will make the decision about who gets the opportunity to participate for free. You will have to pay travel and your stay, we will give you a no-cost participation in this class.
– “Getting involved in Open Source changed my life about ten years ago.” says Olle E. Johansson, teacher and the CEO of Edvina. “I used my last resources to participate in a voice over IP conference in the US. There I met Steve Sokol and Mark Spencer. Together we built a lot of activities around Asterisk – the Astricon conference, the trainings and quite a lot of code during the years. With Open Source you get contacts all over the world and new opportunities both locally and globally. I hope that offering a free training seat can change the life of someone currently out of work.”
Details:
- Apply by writing a document about yourself and your experiences. Motivate why you want the free seat.
- You have to be unemployed and live in the EU area
- Write the document in Spanish or English
- Send it to sales@avanzada7.es latest June 15th, 2013

The Edvina SIP Masterclass v2.0 in Malaga, Spain – July 8-12, 2013
The Edvina SIP Masterclass is the best introduction to Kamailio – the Open Source SIP server – and the SIP protocol that you can get. Register today to spend one week with Olle E. Johansson, having fun with SIP, learning Kamailio in well-prepared labs and brainstorming about new realtime communication solutions. The class is in sunny Malaga, easy to reach from all over Europe, organized by Edvina’s long-term partner Avanzada 7. Seats are limited in this popular class!
This class is built for persons that have used the PBX-class tools like Asterisk, Yate and FreeSwitch and wants to learn how to scale and add new applications like presense and instant messaging to their solution. The class will spend a lot of time on the SIP standards, then move on to how to implement them using Kamailio – the Open Source SIP server – in combination with other tools. After the class, you will not only know how to operate Kamailio – you will also have a lot of knowledge about how the SIP standard works, what to expect from devices and how to troubleshoot your realtime network.
If you’ve used a SIP PBX – this is the next step!
This class is for users of Asterisk and FreeSwitch that wants to learn how to build larger, scalable and open SIP networks with Kamailio – the Open Source SIP server. The class interactively teaches you SIP and Kamailio, building a platform step by step. When you leave the class, you should know much more about how SIP works and how Kamailio can scale your existing solution or be the new platform for a Unified Communication network.

The hidden secret of TCP/IP – and how it affects your PBX
Olle E. Johansson, founder of Edvina, delivered a talk called “The Hidden Secret of TCP/IP – and How it affects your PBX” at the Voip2day + Elastixworld 2012 conference in Madrid, Sept 25th. The talk describes the background for the SIP2012 project and what needs to change in order to get back on track with realtime communications.
The presentation was uploaded to Slideshare and quickly got over 38.000 views, taking it to the top of the week list on Slideshare.net and got many comments, referrals and tweets. A video of the talk will be uploaded to the Voip2day.net site in a few weeks time. Voip2day + Elastixworld was a European Voip event that got over 1.000 visitors during three days, with a very interesting exhibition. Avanzada7, an Edvina partner in the Open Unified Alliance, has organized Voip2day in Madrid for many years.
– “I’m very proud of the reaction by the community – it shows me that Interoperability is still a hot and important issue. Hopefully the SIP2012 project will be able to raise the bar and take SIP away from the old PBX model and move it into the world of Open Unified Communication” says Olle.
Many people asked “What can we do?“. The answer is partly in the presentation – base your realtime multimedia architecture on a modern view of communication, instead of a 50 year old PBX model. Chat, presence, video and other applications, like desktop-sharing, needs to be part of the architecture. Require vendors to implement more than the 10 year old SIP 2.0 specification – follow the SIP2012 project and write better requirements when purchasing SIP products and services. Finally, make sure that your vendors participate in the SIPit interoperability test events with all their SIP products. It’s at SIPit vendors meet to test their products and improve the interoperability as well as the standards.
SIP 2012 :: ICE – finding the best media path between two phones
Edvina continues the work to define a new SIP reference profile, updated to fit current networks and implementations. SIP 2.0 is over 10 years old and the RFC does no longer cover enough to fit the needs of the enterprise. Networking has changed and much has been added to SIP by the IETF in cooperation with the SIP Forum, the 3GPP and the PacketCable consortium. Unfortunately, when purchasing SIP solutions, most customers still only refer to RFC 3261 as the reference specification. This is what SIP2012 is trying to change.
With ICE the best media path – and a working one – is always selected for the call
ICE – Interactive Connectivity Establishment – is now added to SIP2012. It’s a solution for always finding the best media path between two devices – regardless if it’s private or public addresses or if it’s an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. For a SIP call, the caller and callee needs to know that there is a working media path. If not, the call should fail. This is the promise of ICE.
ICE is also part of WebRTC
ICE is also part of the developing standard for adding interactive media – audio and video – to web browsers. With SIP in the web browser on your tablet, you want to connect over 3G or 4G, wifi enterprise networks as well as to the Wifi in a hotel or in a café. ICE handles finding the best media path in these environments, so it’s a natural part of the WebRTC standard. In that project, many additional requirements to ICE has been added, which will show up as new RFCs soon.
