SIP Forum's SIPit 32 Slated for September 12-16, 2016 in Durham, New
Hampshire

 

University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) to host
five-day testing event; Advancing STIR and SIPBRANDY tops agenda

NORTH ANDOVER, MA (July 26, 2016) - The SIP Forum <http://www.sipforum.org/>
has announced that STIR and SIPBRANDY testing has been added to the agenda
for the next SIP Interoperability Testing event, SIPit 32, to be held
September 12-16, 2016 in Durham, New Hampshire, at the University of New
Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory. The international event is open for
registration <http://www.regonline.com/sipit32>  to any equipment vendor,
developer, carrier or other company dealing with Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) implementations.

At SIPit 32, participating companies will test a variety of SIP-based
applications and implementations in assorted network environments and
topologies. The upcoming event expects to focus particular attention on STIR
interoperability and advancing the new SIPBRANDY effort as the industry
prepares for the global rollout of these next generation Internet protocols.
In addition, participating companies will also exercise SIP-related
telepresence and centralized conferencing applications and implementations.

Continuing a trend from earlier events, IPv6 interoperability testing will
help participants uncover new, positive information surrounding
interoperability of IPv6 equipment and services, particularly when
implementations use a combination of IPv6 and IPv4 for media and signaling. 

"SIPit 32 will once again bring together the world's foremost equipment
vendors and service providers across the IP communications industry to test
and validate their SIP implementations in a live, real-world IP network
setting," said Marc Robins, SIP Forum President and Managing Director. "We
expect that STIR and SIPBRANDY interop testing will be a top agenda items
along with SIP trunking and IPv6 implementations, which collectively should
help address key technical issues in these critical areas." 

Conducted by the SIP Forum, SIPits are the world's premier interoperability
testing events for SIP, bringing together leading SIP application
developers, service providers and IP communications equipment manufacturers
to ensure their SIP implementations work seamlessly together in an IP
network testing environment. An important goal of the SIPit events is to
help refine both the SIP protocol and its implementations, refining SIP as
the global interoperable standard for real-time Internet communication
services. 

"The SIPit continues to be the most effective SIP testbed in the world. We
constantly hear participants say a week at SIPit provides results that would
have taken months to achieve with individual peerwise testing," said Robert
Sparks, chair of the SIP Forum's Test Event Working Group and organizer of
SIPit32. "This will be the 32nd SIPit, and the focus will be on advanced
real-time secure communication, exploring the developing best current
practices  coming from the SIPBRANDY working group for securing SIP media,
taking advantage of opportunistic encryption, and providing for secure
centralized conferencing as specified by the PERC working group.  We will
have a particular focus on the technologies being developed by the STIR
working group and the SIP Forum/ATIS IP-NNI task force to combat
robocalling.  All implementations, simple or advanced, are strongly
encouraged to participate."

SIPit is organized by the SIP Forum's Test Event Working Group (TEWG) and
serves as a "plugfest" for participating companies to perform SIP
interoperability testing with other participants in a live network
environment. With events rotating in the United States, Europe, and Asia,
the SIP Forum has hosted 31 events around the globe. The previous event,
SIPit 31, was hosted by ETSI in Nice, France.

About the SIP Forum
The SIP Forum is an IP communications industry association that engages in
numerous activities that promote and advance SIP-based technology, such as
the development of industry recommendations, the SIPit, SIPconnect-IT and
RTCWeb-it interoperability testing events, special workshops, educational
seminars, and general promotion of SIP in the industry. The SIP Forum is
also the producer of the annual SIPNOC conferences (for SIP Network
Operators Conference), focused on the technical requirements of the service
provider community. One of the Forum's notable technical activities is the
development of the SIPconnect Technical Recommendation - a standards-based
SIP trunking recommendation for direct IP peering and interoperability
between IP PBXs and SIP-based service provider networks. Other important
Forum initiatives include work in VRS interoperability, security, NNI, and
SIP and IPv6.  For more information, please visit: http://www.sipforum.org
