Ready to deploy into enterprises or large-scale subscriber networks to
facilitate collaborative communities, Oracle Communicator features presence
and instant messaging capabilities integrated with real-time voice and
video and can interface with the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
Oracle Communicator is based on SIMPLE (Session Initiation Protocol for
Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions), an open standard
that applies Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to streamline presence
registration, messaging, and managing of real-time sessions between two or
more participants. By adopting the SIMPLE standard, Oracle Communicator
provides complete interoperability with IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and
SIP-based software products, equipment, and end points.
"Oracle Communicator is another milestone in our drive to deliver the
most complete, standards-based SDP solution to communications service
provides and enterprise customers," said Vittorio Viarengo, vice president,
Oracle. "Java developers and ISVs can now build VoIP and other
presence-enabled communications services at an unprecedented rate by
leveraging Oracle Communicator's out-of-the-box functionality and the full
programmability of OCMS."
Now featuring GIPS audio technology, Oracle Communicator delivers
excellent quality of service (QoS) for VoIP applications. In addition,
Oracle Communicator is rebrandable, which allows CSPs and enterprise
customers to use their own packaging and branding. This enables them to
create custom VoIP, Video and messaging solutions that promote their own
brand into the market.
GIPS' technology is the de-facto standard for audio and multimedia
technology in the communications industry. Recognizing that high quality
audio is crucial to ensuring a successful customer experience with VoIP,
Oracle integrated GIPS' audio technology into Oracle Communicator. As a
result, Oracle customers can take advantage of the highest QoS VoIP
solution available.
"GIPS' technology provides Oracle with the highest quality voice
product available in the VoIP industry," said Global IP Solutions' CEO and
President, Gary Hermansen. "Oracle demands quality and GIPS is delighted to
be a part of Oracle's SDP offering."
