Tekelec to Give Two Technical SIP Presentations at IPTComm 2009
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MORRISVILLE, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/01/09 --
Tekelec (NASDAQ: TKLC) experts
in session initiation protocol (SIP) will present two research papers at
IPTComm, the event examining the principles, systems and applications of
Internet protocol (IP) telecommunications. The conference will be held
July 7-8, 2009 at the Georgia Tech Information
Security Center at Georgia Tech in
Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Dorgham Sisalem, Ph.D., director of SIP signaling architecture with Tekelec
and co-founder of iptel.org, and John Floroiu, software architect at
Tekelec, will provide best practices for designing security processes to
protect real-time multimedia communications, on July 7 from 10:45 a.m. -
12:35 p.m. Sisalem and Floroiu will analyze and compare security
mechanisms to defend against eavesdropping, interception and manipulation
in the signaling layer.
Tekelec's second presentation, on July 7 from 2 - 3:30 p.m., will examine
how to efficiently route media traffic in a voice over IP (VoIP)
environment. Sisalem, with Jiri Kuthan, assistant vice president of
engineering at Tekelec and co-founder of iptel.org, and independent
researcher Ladislav Andel, will present about maximizing transmission speed
and minimizing bandwidth costs for service providers. They will discuss
the IP anycast approach, a network architecture that allows equipment (e.g.
phones and laptops) to detect and use media servers in their proximity.
Sisalem and Kuthan contribute to the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), the organization that records protocol standards, best practices,
and technical and engineering documents to improve the Internet. In
addition, they are primary writers for Tekelec's SIP Sessions blog, an industry forum
for service providers and SIP experts to examine the protocol's
functionality and innovative uses. They also jointly authored, with
Floroiu and two others, "SIP Security," a book for technical
staff and academia surveying the most important aspects of securing
SIP-based services.
Tekelec has made many SIP resources available for free online, including
its SIP Signaling Router (SSR) Application
Handbook, new SSR
multimedia tutorial addressing operators' next-generation networking
challenges, and SIP Pocket Guide. The company also has a
four-part SIP webinar tutorial series and several
whitepapers: Upgrading the Next-generation Network Part
