The SIP Forum and the IPv6 Forum Forge Global Partnership to Promote
Interoperability 


Leading technology industry associations join forces to accelerate adoption
and integration of SIP and IPv6 technology solutions worldwide

 

North Andover, MA and Luxembourg,  March 17, 2010 - Leading technology
industry associations the SIP Forum <http://www.sipforum.org/>  and the IPv6
<http://www.ipv6forum.com/>  Forum have joined forces to drive the
deployment and interoperability  of session initiation protocol (SIP) and
Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) related technologies and services. Under
terms of the partnership, the two organizations plan to collaborate on a
number of initiatives to educate and co-promote the deployment and
integration of these two next-generation protocols throughout the industry. 

 

"SIP and IPv6 are the two fundamental Internet plumbing pieces of the future
Internet. This partnership will allow the SIP Forum and the IPv6 Forum to
leverage each organization's powerful worldwide user base to drive the right
knowledge and best practices to the Internet community at large" said Latif
Ladid, President of the IPv6 Forum & Emeritus Trustee Internet Society.
"This union will smooth the adoption of these two technologies and spur
Internet growth and solid sustainability."

 

In the next few months, the SIP Forum and IPv6 Forum leadership will work
together to formulate a joint program calendar for their combined
membership, which may include co- marketing and industry events, technology
interoperability initiatives, and technical working group collaboration. 

  

"The SIP Forum shares a similar mission and vision as the IPv6 Forum for the
broad interoperability and adoption of open standards and next generation
Internet-based technologies and services," said Richard Shockey, SIP Forum
Chairman of the Board.  "By coming together, our two organizations can help
move the industry forward and develop the foundation to fuel a new
generation of communications innovation." 

 

IPv6 is a next generation Internet protocol designed to replace and improve
upon IPv4, which serves as the fundamental transportation layer protocol for
today's Internet.   IPv6 has a number of enhanced features and functionality
designed to improve the security of IP traffic and provide more support for
real-time communications.  IPv6 syncs seamlessly with SIP in the application
layer, which serves as a next generation signalling protocol for handling
VoIP and multimedia communications over IP networks.  

 

 

 

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,
special interest groups, 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. For more information, please visit: http://www.sipforum.org
