According to Mike Wilson, vice president of sales and marketing, UM Labs, “This release represents an important milestone on our roadmap towards UC simplicity by providing customers with an out-of-the-box capability to deploy, manage and secure reliable SIP connections between different IP PBXs and SIP trunk providers.”
“Our controller resolves most vendor specific SIP incompatibilities so that our customers gain maximum flexibility in selecting their VoIP infrastructure, and get up and running in hours, not days or weeks. Release 1.5 also builds upon our leadership position in delivering high performance security and encryption solutions on multiple devices, including mobile phones. Organizations which have delayed the deployment of IP based voice or video applications due to concerns about complexity, security and quality should talk to us about our solutions,” added Mr. Wilson.
Advanced Features & Functionality included in this latest release include:
• Skype Interoperability – The UM Labs SIP session controller has been fully tested with Skype for SIP and supports its full range of services. 1.5 can enable any SIP-capable PBX to connect to Skype for SIP Service.
• New Option for REFER Processing (PBXs that use REFER to transfer calls have interoperability issues with SIP trunk providers). This release adds a second method to handle SIP REFER that is compatible with call recording systems.
• New SIP Trunk Authentication option, enabling PBX’s that do not support SIP registration and authentication to connect to trunks that require it. This will improve security and significantly reduce the risk of toll fraud for SIP trunk connections.
• Increase encryption strength for call encryption from 128-bit to 256-bit AES.
• New scripting language support to map SIP requests. This will ensure interoperability between SIP trunks and any manufacturer’s product.
• Enhanced SIP call routing options enabling calls to be routed to a secondary destination in the event of PBX failure. This ensures service continuity.
• Enhanced call admission control and black listing, blocking the growing level of SIP probes seen on the Internet and used by attackers to identify targets.
