BEA Rolls Out WebLogic SIP Server 2.2

BEA Systems has announced the general availability of BEA WebLogic SIP Server 2.2. As the Java EE-SIP application server component of the BEA WebLogic Communications Platform product family, this latest version of BEA WebLogic SIP Server is designed to deliver enhanced support for IMS, with native support for IMS, Java EE, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and Event Driven Architecture (EDA), in a single application container.

“Network operators are looking to quickly implement a flexible, dynamic and agile IMS services layer architecture in order to accelerate the delivery of next-generation services,” said Brian Partridge, senior analyst with The Yankee Group. “A converged Java EE-SIP container, like that found in BEA WebLogic SIP Server is a cost-effective and efficient approach. By leveraging the enhanced IMS, SOA and EDA support network operators can better respond to changing competitive market forces.”

The product supports the key IMS application server standard interfaces specified by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). These standards include the SIP-based IMS Service Control (ISC) interface, and the Diameter-based Sh reference point that can help allow network operators seamlessly integrate BEA WebLogic SIP Server with their IMS core networks.

BEA WebLogic SIP Server 2.2 is generally available today.
