Is SIP Over-Hyped? • Remember ISDN promises in 1990? • Remember ATM in LAN infrastructure? • Remember VoDSL (GR-303 back-haul)?
$2,000,000,000 Large $1,500,000,000 Medium $1,000,000,000 Small $500,000,000 IP Telephony Inflection Point $- CY00 CY01 CY02 CY03 CY04 CY05 CY06 Year LAN Telephony Adoption (Average of Analysts) United States Line Shipments Voice Market Overview LAN Telephony Market North America Source: Synergy Research Aug 2003 Three primary segments: • Small Business looking for Key Solutions (single site small) • Small & Medium enterprise looking for Hybrid/PBX Solutions (1-5+ sites 10-100+ users) • Medium & Large Enterprises looking for PBX Solutions (1000-5000 total users across 100+ sites) Replacement of old systems driving upgrades to IP Growing market in all segments – One size does NOT fit all
The Market Favors Simplicity • Ethernet versus Token Ring, FDDI, ATM • Packet versus Cell • TiVo versus VCR • SIP versus H.323, MGCP, Proprietary

SIP - It’s Not Just Dial Tone • RFC 2543 abstract (1999) • The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions includeInternet multimedia conferences, Internet telephone calls and multimedia distribution.
SIP-Based Services • Voice Mail • (IVR) Interactive Voice Response • Unified Messaging • User Mobility • Presence • Personalized Call Treatment • Find Me/Follow Me • Instant Messaging • Conferencing
Next-Gen Voice Messaging • Voice Messaging has been ubiquitous since 1995 • Telephone answering primarily • Unified Messaging has been advertised, but not delivered- Why? • Unified Messaging – Definition? • Practical “on paper” • Not practical to deliver • IP Technology will make Next Gen applications as ubiquitous as VM has been • Practical to Implement - new architecture, new technology • Tools to migrate • Reliable - simple design with redundancy
IP Messaging Value Proposition • Problem • Proliferation… • Connected devices • Communications accounts • Leads to an unmanaged explosion of connection demands—missed messages, multiple log-ins • Solution • UMS puts the control back in the hands of the user • How? • Single Smart Mailbox • Message media translation– voice and text • Network bridging – PSTN, IP • Device agnostic – cell, PDA, PC, pager • Enables users to set up access rules • Intelligent routing for messages
