OKI said that it will provide source code for ‘SSF’, the SIP application development framework developed by OKI, for ‘Mobicents Project’, a development community that works with JBoss (Jboss.org’s community), an open source application server.
The company said that it will provide the source code as open source software under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
According to OKI, the SSF allows Java programmers who build general-purpose applications to embed voice communication functionality, such as telephone or audio conferencing functions, into web applications. The functionality enabled by these developments include, the ability to talk by phone to others working on the same web screen without explicitly dialing a number or sending results of various web operations automatically from web applications via telephone.
OKI said that it will establish a new ‘Frameworks’ category within the JBoss.org community and plans to participate in ‘Mobicents Project’ and to help expand the field of info-telecom converged offerings based on ‘SIP servlets.’
In collaboration with Red Hat, OKI said that it will develop and provide SIP offerings while targeting a market range encompassing the breadth of the info-telecom sector.
Yuichiro Hiranuma, general manager of Software Center, IT Solutions and Services Business Division at OKI, said: "Backed by expertise gathered over the years, OKI ranks among the leaders in the field of SIP applications development using ‘SIP Servlet.’
"By contributing ‘SSF’ source code-one result of our extensive research and development-to the ‘Mobicents Project’ in the OSS community, we hope to expand opportunities for applications development using ‘SIP Servlet’ to the worldwide developer community. Moving forward, OKI will expand the number of SIP applications with help from developers worldwide, helping to expand the field of available info-telecom converged solutions."
