SIP-based ATA and VoIP Router

Solution
Customer
A leading provider of broadband communications
and storage semiconductors for wireline and wireless
applications

Overview
HCL offers readymade protocol stacks and test
frameworks for customers. HCL also offers
engineering services for porting these stacks to
various OS and hardware platforms. This case study
illustrates porting of HCLs SIP stack to customers
hardware platform, running on UCLinux, to provide
the functionality of VoIP ATA and VoIp Router.

System Overview and problem

Description
The customer wanted to develop reference design
(to demonstrate the capability of their MIPS-based
VoIp processor) of an Analog Telephony Adapter
(ATA) and modify that into a VoIp Router with WLAN
functionality. The design targeted OEM and ODM
clients. The overall objective of this project was to
develop software for ATA (Analog Telephony Adapter)
and VoIP Router. VoIp Router provided the customer
with benefits such as broadband Internet sharing,
Firewall security, VPN connectivity, IP telephony,
audio/video streaming, Wireless LAN etc.

Solution from HCL

HCL designed and developed hardware and software
for the ATA and VoIP Router. The solution included
right component selection, design of PCB with

multiple layers, porting of SIP and RTP stacks on to

the processor board, development of applications
and integration of all modules.

significant cost and time advantages.
HCL has been developing reusable components that reduce
the time-to-market and provide our clients with tested and
proven software building blocks

Product Design and Development

VoIP networks continue to be deployed with multiple
standards coexisting. In such a scenario, standards-compliant
reusable and scalable building blocks will enable VoIP and
IMS vendors to gain significant cost and time advantages.
Product engineering, design and development services
from HCL for VoIP and IMS vendors include protocol and
application development on top of protocol stacks like SIP.

HCL through its unique capabilities caters to the needs

of both Telecom Technology Vendors (Enterprise OEMs,
Carrier Infrastructure vendors, component manufacturers
and telecom ISVs) and Communication Service Providers
(Mobile and Fixed public network services).

Customization

HCL has more than a decade of telecom domain expertise

and more than 10,000 consultants working to satisfy the
needs of Telecom OEMs and Telecom Service Providers
across the spectrum.
HCL telecom practice has capability across the eco system
and has the comprehensive capabilities because of unique
combination of three key ingredients namely Applications,
Remote Infrastructure Management and BPO.

VoIP Carriers

HCLs product quality assurance services in these areas

include setting up of test labs, system testing, regression
testing and test automation services. HCL has developed
comprehensive acceptance test plans and procedures and
automated them for testing compliance to the standards.

HCLs VoIP and IMS Applications

HCL testing services include:

SIP Communicator
Enterprise Communication Manager [IP PBX/VMS]

Test setup design and configuration

Test plan validation

We have used HCLs SIP test tool for protocol compliance

testing of the SBC. The SIP tool covers the SIP RFCs extensively
and is very flexible to use. The HCL team has helped us modify
the tool to suit our needs and given us prompt response for all
the support requests.

QUALCOMM
QUALCOMM has chosen HCLs SIP testing tool for the functional
and regression testing of our SIP products. It incorporates
tests drawn from various RFCs which helped us cut down on
test script development time. This is the only tool we found that
supports a comprehensive list of SIP related RFCs mandated
by 3GPP/ 3GPP2. Its ease of use and wide range of APIs have
helped us expand its use on our IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS) Products.

ERICSSON
We chose HCL Technologies SIP protocol test tool to be used
when testing our SIP product. The tool has a good test suite and
the flexibility to design own test cases which helps us to save
time and costs.

PMC
Selecting a partner for the development of PMCSierras
analog telephone adapter and VoIP Router reference designs
were an important decision. HCL Technologies has the market
experience and ability to deliver high quality products, and the
willingness to respond to our customers requirements on a
timely basis.
