Acme Packet Demonstrates First WebRTC to Multi-Vendor IMS Interworking Capability
BEDFORD, MA, Nov 28, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Acme Packet(R) (NASDAQ: APKT), the leader in session delivery
networks, today announced the first successful demonstration of a
WebRTC-enabled browser calling a mobile network subscriber via a
multi-vendor IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network -- employing a
session border controller (SBC) for secure and seamless
interoperability between the web and an IMS core with connectivity to
the PSTN.
News Highlights:
-- WebRTC is an emerging standard for real-time communications (RTC) in
web browsers and embeds voice and video directly into existing
browsers without having to download stand-alone communication
applications.
-- Enabled by Acme Packet SBCs, an HTML5-based WebRTC dialer on a laptop
was used inside of Google's Chrome browser to initiate a call to a 3G
mobile subscriber using a major North American mobile service
providers' multi-vendor IMS infrastructure.
-- This demonstration represents a significant step towards the broader
use of WebRTC by showing how WebRTC technology can be used to connect
billions of Internet users to the PSTN's six billion fixed line and
mobile subscribers.
-- Today Acme Packet will be presenting a live demonstration of this
capability at the WebRTC Conference & Expo in San Francisco, CA.

the event.
-- An early proponent of WebRTC, Acme Packet is actively involved in
WebRTC standardization in the IETF, including recommendations on
WebRTC to SIP interworking and the use of SIP over WebSockets. Acme
Packet has supported the use of web service interfaces to control
real-time communications in commercial deployments for more than five
years.
WebRTC Benefits with Acme Packet Solutions:
-- Vendor-neutral interoperability with third-party technology and
networks
-- Features and interfaces for both web and SIP developers
-- Extension of existing SIP systems over the web through simple REST
APIs or SIP over WebSockets
-- Ability to enable cutting-edge features, such as click-to-call and
virtual phones
-- Trusted, first-class security with SBC functions
-- Advanced quality and reliability, regardless of network or vendor
Quotes:
-- "Acme Packet's successful demonstration of an IMS-connected WebRTC
browser signals a new wave of communications by virtually placing a
user's phone in any browser," said Pat MeLampy, chief technology
officer, Acme Packet. "With Acme Packet solutions paving the way,
WebRTC capabilities could extend IMS service delivery from carriers,
revolutionize call center efficiency through web page click-to-call,
and broaden enterprise unified communications service delivery."
-- "WebRTC is one of the most interesting and disruptive innovations I've
seen in the last 10 years," said Dean Bubley, founder of analyst firm
Disruptive Analysis. "It has the potential to extend existing service
provider SIP assets and capabilities out onto the wider Internet, and
also enables creation of brand-new forms of voice, video and messaging
communications, going beyond a narrow definition of 'service' towards
embedded features and functions built into the very fabric of the web
itself."
