RADVision Announces Plans to Offer JAIN(TM) and Parlay Interfaces
for MGCP Toolkit for Decomposed Gateway Architectures
JAVA APIS FOR INTEGRATED NETWORKS WILL PROVIDE NEW ABSTRACTION LEVEL FOR
SERVICE CREATION ACROSS CIRCUIT-SWITCH, PACKET, AND WIRELESS NETWORKS
Mahwah, New Jersey, September 12, 2000 -- RADVision (NASDAQ:RVSN), the leading
provider of award-winning, industry-standard products and technology for
real-time voice and video communication over IP, today announced plans to
integrate JAIN (Java APIs for Integrated Networks) and Parlay abstraction APIs
into Version 2.0 of its MGCP (Media Gateway Control Protocol) Toolkits.
JAIN provides a new level of abstraction and associated Java interfaces for
service creation across PSTN, packet (e.g. IP or ATM), and wireless networks.
JAIN makes next-generation telecom application development faster, simpler, and
less expensive through the use of Java technology. The MGCP Parlay Adaptor
implements the JAIN SPA/Parlay compliant interface, allowing the MGCP Toolkit to
integrate seamlessly into the JAIN Softswitch environment.
"The true value of IP-centric communication networks will come from the creation
of compelling new enhanced services that leverage the convergence of voice,
video, and data and span IP and circuit-switch networks," said Ami Amir,
RADVision's CEO. "JAIN is a key enabling technology that facilitates the
integration of Internet (IP) and Intelligent Network (IN) protocols."
JAIN allows Java applications to have secure access to resources inside the
network, creating the opportunity to deliver thousands of services rather than
the dozens currently available. RADVision plans to offer the JAIN API as an
option to its MGCP Version 2.0 release.
MGCP separates the signaling, call control, and media handling into distinct,
logical entities for gateway decomposition architectures. MGCP-based products
and services include two sub-components, the Media Gateway (MG) and the Media
Gateway Controller (MGC). RADVision's MGCP toolkit implements both the MG and
MGC sides of MGCP and requires minimum code space, processing resources, and
memory. It is based on the latest MGCP specification -- MGCP 1.0, and supports
the MGCP/NCS profile adopted by the CableLabsTM consortium. Designed to be
cross-platform, it is written in C and implemented for real-time multi-threaded
environments for high-end applications. RADVision designed its MGCP toolkits in
a way that allows for easy migration to compliance with H.248/MEGACO, the
official industry standard jointly specified by the IETF and ITU for decomposed
gateway architectures.

RADVision Unveils High Performance SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Toolkit at VON Fall 2000, Atlanta, Sept 12-14
DESIGNED FOR SPEED AND EXTENSIBILITY, RADVISION'S SIP IMPLEMENTATION UTILIZES
OPTIMIZED PARSING ENGINE AND INNOVATIVE API
Mahwah, New Jersey, Sept. 12, 2000 -- RADVision (NASDAQ:RVSN), the leading
provider of award-winning, industry-standard products and technology for
real-time voice and video communication over IP, today unveiled its new high
performance Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) toolkit for developing SIP
entities and SIP-based applications. The RADVision SIP toolkit is RFC2543 (SIP)
and RFC2327 (SDP) compliant and is suitable for the development of any of the
logical entities defined in SIP, including User Agent, Proxy, Redirect Server,
and Registrar.
"Our expanding customer base relies on us to provide them with everything they
need to stay ahead of the technology curve," said Ami Amir, RADVision's CEO.
"Our SIP implementation is another technology innovation that will provide an
important competitive edge in terms of performance and functionality to our
customers who are interested in developing SIP-based products and services. The
introduction of the SIP protocol complements our other toolkit offerings and
addresses the needs of an expanding market segment of companies who are showing
growing interest in using this the new, emerging protocol for implementing new
enhanced IP-centric services for next generation networks."
Designed for speed, RADVision's high performance multi-threaded SIP
implementation utilizes a unique parsing engine. Separate dedicated parsers are
used for SIP and SDP (Sessions Description Protocol) parsing. RADVision's
exclusive "one-time on-demand" parsing provides further performance enhancements
by parsing only the required message parts, only when required. Designed also
for extensibility and customization, RADVision's SIP toolkit uses an intuitive,
layered, object-oriented API. Developers can use callbacks and hooks to inject
customized code to modify stack behavior to accommodate new extensions for
expanded functionality beyond the baseline specification.
Amir continued, "As champions of interoperability and the experts in real-time
IP communications, we are committed to being the one stop shop for superior
products and technology innovations for voice and video communication over IP."
Visitors to VON Fall 2000 in Atlanta, Sept 12-14 can find out more about
RADVision's SIP toolkit at RADVision's booth #606/608. Copies of RADVision's new
"Visionary Guide to the IP Universe" - a comprehensive pocket guide describing
the relationship between SIP, MGCP, H.248/MEGACO and H.323 real-time IP
communications protocols, will also be available at the show.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol for initiating,
managing and terminating voice and video sessions across packet networks. SIP
sessions involve one or more participants and can use unicast or multicast
communication. Borrowing from ubiquitous Internet protocols such as HTTP and
SMTP, SIP is text-encoded and highly extensible. SIP may be extended to
accommodate features and services such as call control services, mobility,
interoperability with existing telephony systems, and more.
