A growing number of Session Initiation Protocol applications make use of the new signaling and session set-up protocol to enable IP multimedia applications, including VoIP telephony and rich-media instant messaging, that transform the role of access networks. Although SIP is commonly used as the protocol of choice for deployment, SIP alone doesn't provide the tools to guarantee the service quality for a positive subscriber experience - or a market-differentiating experience that produces notable performance superiority over best-effort alternatives.
Enter the Camiant SIP Application Manager (SIP AM). It introduces important QoS and network-management features that allow network providers to integrate and manage SIP resources easily within the architectural framework of their access networks. Working in concert with the Camiant policy server, the SIP AM works to ensure flawless delivery of SIP applications, and to produce distinctive performance characteristics otherwise unavailable from unmanaged SIP applications.
