SIP Forum’s SIPit 27 Slated for Taipei, Taiwan, November 15-19, 2010
ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability to host five-day testing event in cooperation with the Industrial Technology Research Institute; Registration now open.
North Andover, MA, October 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The SIP Forum has announced that its next SIP Interoperability Testing event, SIPit 27, will be held November 15-19, 2010 in Taipei, Taiwan. The international event, hosted by The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), is open for registration to any equipment vendor, developer, carrier or other company dealing with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) implementations.
At SIPit 27, participating companies will test a variety of SIP-based applications and implementations in assorted network environments and topologies. The upcoming Fall event expects to focus particular attention on SIP security, including preventing exploit attacks, securing media in secure real-time transport protocol (SRTP), and maintaining interoperability while exercising advanced real-time media sessions such as those utilizing High Definition video. In addition, groups are expected to continue their work related to IP peering and SIP trunking interoperability.
"SIPit 27 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 in Taipei, Taiwan, a center of communications technology in Asia,” said Marc Robins, SIP Forum President and Managing Director. "In addition, the data compiled at the upcoming event will be integrated into an upcoming interoperability report regarding RFC3261, the core SIP standard, aimed at advancing the specification along the standards maturity ladder inside the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).”
Conducted by the SIP Forum twice a year, 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 in order to reinforce SIP as the global interoperable standard for real-time Internet communication services.
“Over the course of 26 SIPit events, we have seen this program grow considerably to become one of the most effective and important SIP testbeds for both implementations and specifications in the world,” said Robert Sparks, chair of the SIP Forum’s Test Event Working Group. “We have consistently attracted participation from both past SIPit veterans and newcomers, as SIP continues to mature, and after every event participants indicate that a week spent at SIPit provides results that would have taken months to achieve with individual pair-wise testing.”
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. Conducted twice a year, with events rotating in North America, Europe, and Asia, the SIP Forum has hosted 26 SIPit events around the globe. The previous event, SIPit 26, was held in Kista, Sweden in May of 2010, while the last SIPit event in Asia, SIPit 24, was held in Tokyo, Japan. Upcoming events, SIPit 28 and SIPit 29, will be held in North America and Europe, respectively, in 2011.

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 interoperability and testing events, special interoperability workshops, educational seminars, and general promotion of SIP in the industry. One of the Forum's notable technical activities is the development of the SIPconnect Technical Recommendation -- a standards-based recommendation that provides detailed guidelines for direct IP peering and interoperability between IP PBXs and VoIP service provider networks. The SIPconnect Compliant Certification Program is an associated program through which eligible companies can gain SIPconnect validation and the right to license the use of the SIP Forum's 'SIPconnect Compliant' certification mark -- the official brand of the leading standard for SIP Trunking products and services. Other important Forum initiatives include work in Fax-over-IP interoperability, User Agent Configuration, and the opportunities for SIP in Smart Grid deployments.
