Micromethod Unveils SIMPLE Presence Server for SIP Communications

San Jose, CA, February 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Micromethod Technologies (www.micromethod.com) launches SIPoint server that consists of SIP proxy, registrar, XCAP functions and SIMPLE presence engine. By using SIP Instant Messaging and Presence Leverage Extension (SIMPLE) technology and providing a core set of routing, presence and resource management functions, SIPoint server can be applied to a wide array of real-time VoIP communication applications and services. While Micromethod SIPoint server's proxy function provides accurate routing of general SIP messages and presence information; the presence engine collects and updates user presence information (online/offline, busy and away) as well as user capability (Audio, Video, IM, Collaboration). In addition to core SIP and SIMPLE support, SIPoint server implements XCAP functions for server side resource management such as buddy list.

SIPoint server can be deployed at VoIP service provider, web ASP or enterprise as critical server component of any presence-aware SIP-based communication and collaboration services - instant messaging, IP-PBX, web collaboration, video conferencing or any communication-enabled business applications.

"Extensibility and flexibility to customize is critical for today's IP communication applications," said Wei Chen, Micromethod's VP of Engineering. "Through open programming SIP Servlet API, any web developer can easily extend and customize SIPoint Server to tightly integrate with business process and portal applications."

SIPoint Server can be deployed by service provider or enterprise as standalone, distributed or clustered for efficient capacity planning. The ability to scale up and down will allow organizations to start with low capital expenditure and scale with growth while delivering high-value services. SIPoint server can be licensed separately or as an option on top of Micromethod's SIP Servlet runtime engine, SIPMethod Application Server. SIPoint server is available for 30 days free trial for evaluation on the company's website, www.micromethod.com.
