Network Elements • Public Domain • Applications Servers • Class 5 Softswitch • Media Gateways • Network Border Element • Private Domain • Corporate Border Element • Corporate Switching Node • Application servers • IP PBXs
New world of services • Mobile Enterprise • Mobile office • User ubiquity • Any-Device, Any-Time, Any-Where • Unified communication & collaboration • Unified messaging • Telepresence • Document sharing • Virtual meeting rooms • Web 2.0 • Social Media Networks • Presence Federation • Co-opetition & Mass creativity
Innovation Fields • Security • Secured channels • Data confidentiality • Network reliability • Governance • Simplified network management • Managed services • Easy customization • High performance • User autonomy (Self-Care portals) • Sustainability • Virtualization • Ecology
SIP Business Trunking – Signaling Model • ISDN Like • Signaling is decoupled by IP-PBX and Media is anchored by the IP-PBX using a Media Termination Function to emulate a PBX behaviour • Pure SIP • Signaling goes peer-to-peer between IP-PBXs • Hierarchic • Signaling between IP-PBXs is manipulated by a centralized harmonization function (HF) that can also anchor the media

SIP Business Trunking - User Plane Models • Fixed Media RTP is anchored by IP-PBX • The core network it is not affected by media changing related to services invocation • IP-PBX needs a Media Termination Function to perform media anchoration • Variable Media RTP is peer-to-peer • The core network must manage all the RTP negotiatons due to user services invocation • IP-PBX can implement various type of services and use several types of codecs
Go to market approach • Full Jacket • Pre-packaged solution • Low customization • High reusability • Customer Tailored • High customer requirements compliancy • High customization possibility • High costs for deployment and certification
Services Enabler Features To implement New Services the network must leverage the following capabilities: • Identity management & certification • Voice-Video codec/rating adaptation • Signaling harmonization • Security & Encryption capabilities • Management of specific peculiarities • Accounting capabilities
Services Enabler Device IDAD Inter-Domain Adaptation Device • Interdomain features harmonization • Signaling decoupling & normalization • Media Anchoring • Dynamic Audio/Video transcoding/Transrating • Session Admission Control • Fax adaptation • DTMF interworking • Encryption termination

Network Semplification A measure of complexity can be assessed in proportion to the possible combination of all the devices involved. When a new domain is added, the complexity with IDAD is significantly minor than without:
SIP Business Trunk Benefits • Fast provisioning • High performance & reliability • Governance • Cost savings • Replacement of local telephone connections with VoIP gateways • Reduction in IT operating costs • Growth • More efficient communications platforms • Improved services • Smart migration • Acceleration of communications processes for greater efficency • Support for community and semi-formal teams
Lesson learned • Facts • SIP Trunking will permit creation of new services for VoIP business market • Standardization facilitates interoperability • Manufacturers extend standards with proprietary customization to provide new services IDAD is the trade-off between time to market and standardization.
ITU Standardization vs IDAD The strengthening of the standards is the main way to goforward for multi-vendor interoperable solutions, but it’s a must also consider the presence of several small/medium players that perform customization to provide services. IDAD is the trade-off between time to market and standardization.
