Successfully completed SIP Interoperability Test Event

This interoperability event was organized by the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC), in cooperation with the Multiservice Switching Forum (MSF) and the SIP Forum, and hosted by Upper Side.

A multi-vendor SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) telephony infrastructure with components of different SIP equipment manufacturers, complemented by emulators was used to show scalable interworking and reliability between legacy and next generation infrastructures. The show case scenarios evaluated different aspects of global SIP networks: infrastructure and scalability, services and applications as well as robustness and security. In addition, new interoperability test methodologies were verified and improved.

To ensure the success of the event, a 4 day private hot-staging event with all the participating vendors was conducted before the International SIP 2004 Conference. It took place at the EANTC (European Advanced Networking Test Center) in Berlin, Germany. The test plan was defined by EANTC in cooperation with the MSF, the SIP Forum and participating companies.
