| Nominum Navitas is Now Shipping Nominum has announced the launch of the industry's first complete solution designed and optimized for the routing demands of converging telecommunications networks. Nominum Navitas is an ENUM-based IP-Application Routing Directory server that enables the connection of advanced IP-based communications services between separate networks. This solution fills an essential role in emerging VoIP peering architectures and IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS), providing greater visibility into the routing infrastructure. The demand for connecting advanced services over IP-based networks is increasing as providers strive to offer new services such as VoIP, Push-to-Talk, gaming and video conferencing. The costs and technical limitations associated with routing these new services through the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) threaten to reduce their overall value for service providers. This threat is driving the need for all-IP converged network architectures enabled to deliver high quality, low cost advanced services as well as increase the speed and flexibility of deployments. To fully achieve their promises, these new IP-based architectures require routing directories that guarantee leveragable architectures and optimize the interconnections between converged networks. Nominum Navitas is an IP-Application routing directory server that delivers greater visibility into the IP address mapping required for converging network interconnections. It provides a solution for efficiently responding to, organizing, and managing IP service routing information. Nominum Navitas sits at a critical point in new network topologies and provides the necessary information to handle local number portability data, resolve SIP to URI translation, and route sessions between IP networks. Nominum Navitas is the first to market with a complete solution that includes leading performance such as sub-millisecond query response latency, massive scalability, real-time updates, provisioning interfaces, optimizations for varied deployments (private, carrier, and public), support for multiple in-network architectures (centralized and decentralized), and carrier-grade availability that are required for the success of IP-based services. In order to test the ability of its new product to provision and access authoritative routing data from external sources, Nominum has completed interoperability testing of Nominum Navitas with NeuStar's SIP-IX ENUM registry service. Using an open SOAP/XML schema developed by NeuStar, in collaboration with partners like Nomimum, Navitas was provisioned with ENUM records from SIP-IX. SIP-IX is a suite of services and global infrastructure designed to enable direct network-to-network peering between trading partners for voice, video and content services using SIP-based technologies such as IP multimedia (IMS) and VoIP. NeuStar Inc. is a provider of essential clearinghouse services to the communication industry. The testing confirmed that Nominum Navitas delivers the functionality and performance required for the exchange of SIP traffic for advanced services. In addition, Nominum will collaborate with Evolving Systems, Inc. to test Nominum Navitas. The collaboration will test Local Number Portability data integration with Nominum Navitas. The relationship provides Nominum with the opportunity to test its new ENUM-based IP-Application Routing Directory solution with Evolving Systems' LsmsXpress and OrderPath products in an effort to quantify performance and interoperability benchmarks for Nominum Navitas. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
