Several Mobicents contributors pointed to public sources revealing pieces of valuable information about a sizeable project that has been underway and is starting to make big waves.First, this analyst review:http://www.currentanalysis.com/teb/index.cfm?pagenav=latest&marketID=534" Nortel revealed a refreshed IMSstrategy that focuses on the application layer of the network and iscentered around the

GSMA was a productive event for Mobicents. One of the highlights was hearing about the success stories of our partner hSenid, who built and deployed their SDP at several top tier operators. From a related press release:"The core of hSenid Mobile's product portfolio, mChoice TM, is built around the JBoss Communication Platform (JBCP) which complements the portfolios scalability and extendibility.

A frequently asked customer question is what kind of Mobicents resource adaptors are there for legacy networks - CAMEL, TCAP, INAP, ISUP and so on. Let me offer an updated view on this topic.There are several open source Mobicents Resource Adaptors for legacy networks and there is an even bigger number of custom non-open source Resource Adaptors developed and tuned for specific customer needs.

A year passed since the core Mobicents team was physically together in one location. In 2007 the team was much smaller. Eduardo, Bartek, Vladimir, Amit and I met in Varna, Bulgaria to review our progress and brainstorm about the 2008 roadmap. We ended up with a few napkins with notes and a lot of hangover from the nights of barstorming.This year we went for a different format. The team is now

Things around Mobicents continue to keep us very busy. An area where we feel growth pain is Product Management. The amount of incoming leads and interest in the commercial JBoss Communications Platform is calling for a dedicated top-notch Product Manager who can handle the following responsibilities:JBCP business plan: target market segments, customer categories, revenue projections, competitor

Tuesday May 6 was a big day for Mobicents. The twosessions at the JBoss booth were overflowing. There were 3-4 times more people than chairs for both sessions delivered consequently by Vladimir and Jean. The live demos were both impactful, especially the facebook plugin demo where two people of the audience were able to talk to each other on mobile phones.The Red Hat media team also recorded a

Religious arguments over alternative technologies can be fun...for a few days. Then they become wasteful. Instead of taking sides, we decided that it is important to encompass the largest possible community of developers. The Mobicents team now offers implementations of both JSLEE and SIP Servlets.

Last week, I had the privilege to teach a four day class on JBoss Communications Platform (Mobicents) to a team of sharp cookies from Nortel. I am usually not great at repeating the same presentation many times, so I appreciate it a lot when the audience is interacting with me - asking questions, catching bugs in the examples, or making fun of my drawings. Well in this case, the audience was so

During the week of November 26, the Red Hat telco team had a series of meetings in Tokyo with the leading Japanese telcos. Okashita-san, responsible for business development in Japan, organized the logistics and included several folks from sales, marketing and engineering from the Tokyo office. Until this trip, I had no idea Red Hat has such a big office in Japan. The quality of the people in

Tom Wunderlich and I attended the Telco 2.0 Executive Summit on behalf of Red Hat. We presented the JBoss Communications Platform in the Product Innovation track. The content of the presentation was more technical than the audience expected. Tom had to improvise and bring around the technology message into one of value proposition meaningful to telco executives. Apparently it worked, because we

Disposable apps is a popular term for applications built rapidly by "power users" who need to address a specific problem only relevant to a few people for some period of time.

I am very happy for Open Cloud, who just closed $10M funding from two venture capital companies and Motorola. OC and Sun Microsystems spearheaded the Open Standards in telco middleware about 5 years ago. Along the way Sun dropped out of the game, but OC continued to promote the technology and they did a great job at it. OC managed to show the feasibility of JSLEE in carrier grade environments.

IMS Insider raises a flag that many should have seen coming by now. Recommended read. Another variable worth considering in the equation is Open Source Service Delivery Platforms. Shouldn't a Red Hat/JBoss SDP be added to the list of IT vendor offerings?If IT vendors can get telco platforms right, and we know from recent history that Open Source can get enterprise platforms right, one would think
