Ashish Banerjee Chief Software Technologist Sun Microsystems India P. Ltd. End-2-End Open Source Telecom

Agenda

Facts & Trends
Motivation for End-2-End Open Source Telecom
TCOE.in
End-2-End Open Source Telecom: Components
Standards : Simplified
Case study

Facts & Trends

No Slowdown in Telecom
325 Million Subscribers, growth 1m/month

2 nd after China in terms of subscribers
60% urban , but 15% rural penetration

Low ARPU: GSM rs 221, CDMA rs 122

Airtel ARPU rs 350 (down from rs 553 in 2006)
ARPU reduces as we go down the value pyramid

TOS (Total Out Sourcing) in OSS/BSS
Revenue Sharing in VAS (Value Added Service)
Resource Pooling: Tower Sharing, MVNO

Focus on Rural Telecom

Only 15% Telecom penetration in Rural India
Rural Telecom

Drives Financial Inclusion Enables eGovernance
Uplifts GDP

USO (Universal Service Obligation) Fund

TCOE.in

Public Private Partnership Initiative open to all

Department of Telecom, Ministry of Comm & IT, Gov. of India

TCOE Vision

Sailfin

https://sailfin.dev.java.net/
Open Source SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Server, based on Glassfish project for Java EE
Ericsson contributed SIP Servlet container code
Highly Available Telco grade platform

Converged SIP and JavaEE applications

SIP Technology

Session Initiation Protocol

Defined by RFCs 3261(sip), 4566(sdp), 3550(rtp)
Can be asynchronous and bi-directional
Text-based request and response like HTTP
Support S/MIME for message level security

SIP Servlets API (JSR 116 and 289)

SIP Servlets process SIP message
Defines Message, Request, Response, Sessions and Timers

Glassfish Community : Sailfin

Sailfin Architecture

SIP Application Router

Standards Bodies

www.itu.int/ITU-T
Founded 1865...

ETSI (European Telecom Standards Institute)

2G and 2.5 G
www.etsi.org

3GPP : 3G Partnership Project (3gpp.org)
IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force (ietf.org)

Community Standards Bodies

IMS: IP Multimedia Subsystem

Uses SIP, and IETF standards

SIP

IETF
VoIP

AIPN: All IP network (Loosely called 4G)
3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution)
SIGTRANS: IP -> SS7 (signaling System 7)

Radio : Software Defined

Radio

SDR
Then IP after that

CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, UMTS, WLAN, WMAX

All can be handled by SDR, but be-aware of patents
