Telenity Three Phase SDP Strategy
Nitin Patel, VP Strategic Marketing, Telenity
Business Case Driven SDP
Wireless and Wireline carriers have been moving quickly
to adopt networks and services that converge from
basic voice to value-added content and data services.
The use of text messaging, picture messaging, ringtones, ring-back tones, video clips, location-based
services and wide array of data offering has grown
virtually everywhere. Yankee group forecasts global
data services revenue to reach up to $150 USD
billion by 2009 approaching nearly 50% of voice
revenues in 2010.
Increasing complexities and time-to-market delays in
delivering new value-added services are creating the
need for Service Delivery Platforms (SDPs). A new
generation of software platform is emerging as a
means for enabling service creation, deployment and
Spring 2007
execution functionality to be reused across multiple
services and applications in a controlled manner. SDPs
offer an integrated service delivery environment
that needs to be incorporated with Operations and
Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) only once. They
enable operators to leverage existing infrastructure
and reduce time-to-market. Major operators already
have put in place or have plans for sophisticated SDPs.
However, the deployment cycle of SDPs remains long
and does not bring immediate return on investment
(ROI) to the operators.
Telenity's approach to addressing SDP challenges is
to offer an evolutionary path to service enabling
components with improved business case. As shown
in the figure below, Telenity offers three phases:

Executive Message
Telenity Three Phase SDP Strategy
Nitin Patel, VP Strategic Marketing, Telenity
1. Deployment of pre-integrated Point Solutions:
In the first phase, operators start generating
revenue as early as possible with specific
applications or services.
2. Expansion to Canvas CSP, Converged Services
Platform: The second phase creates a milestone
as all new services are connected and managed via
CSP. Operators can begin to launch multiple
services and move from “walled garden” to “open
rd
garden” model allowing controlled access to 3
party content and application service providers
using the very same delivery platform. Additional
investment required is minimal and the Canvas
CSP becomes the heart of the evolving SDP ready
for use by 3rd party applications. However, this
makes it “the SDP of new services”, which does
not solve the operators' problem of integrating all
the existing/legacy services.
04
3. Deployment of full SDP: The third phase integrates
all existing-legacy services to the SDP, so that at this
point the SDP is “the SDP of all services”. It enables
seamless integration to existing legacy services as
well as OSS/BSS. The new SDP allows leveraging
existing technology investments.
Telenity offers a proven, scalable, converged
services platform, Canvas CSP and applications
that enable service providers to launch services
faster - with limited upfront integration costs and
improved business case towards full SDP deployment. Telenity's key strength is in the Converged
Services domain and many Tier 1 players look upon
Telenity to provide services on their preferred
Application Server platforms.

Turkcell
Client Overview
Turkcell is the leading GSM operator in Turkey and the
third largest GSM operator in Europe with 31.8 million
subscribers as of 2006 December. Turkcell is a market
leader introducing innovative products and services
launched GPRS and EDGE network. Turkcell is the only
listed Turkish company in the New York Stock Exchange.
Turkcell has interests in international GSM operations in
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Northern
Cyprus and Ukraine.
Key Benefits
Meeting operators' business requirements requires a
clear understanding of their pain points, extensive
know-how across telecom and IT domains, and a
holistic approach to the service delivery solution. In
almost all cases, the right solution will leverage
components from multiple vendors that comprise an
SDP eco-system.
Telenity's Gurol Akman, Chief Software Architect says:
“Having worked with a leading operator Turkcell,
Accenture and integrated with products from several
SSDs on the Turkcell SDPA, Telenity is in a unique
position to transfer the wealth of knowledge,
experience and development it has generated to
other operator's SDP deployments”.
Business Drivers
With increasing competition and demand for data services
in Turkey's telecom market, introducing differentiated
value-added services quickly for revenue generation and
cost savings is a strategic priority for service provider.
Turkcell offers more than two thousand services. All
services - content, messaging, call
management, voice messaging, data
“The new SDPA reduces time-toconnection services require managing
market for new services. It now
market expectations and quality of
takes considerably less time to
service.
To maintain its lead position in the
market, Turkcell faced numerous
business, operational and technology
challenges. It needed to design a
completely new concept for service
delivery, a new approach to implement common service delivery
platform ( SD P) that supported
multiple services across standardized
service oriented architecture. The key
drivers were as follows:
integrate and deliver new valueadded service. Our service
provider partners access the
service delivery platform rapidly
through our new portal.”
Ÿ Ability to create and deploy services quickly
Ÿ Reduce the cost and complexity of existing silo implementation
rd
Ÿ Effectively manage 3 party content and application
service provider partners to interact seamlessly and
create an open yet secure environment where personalized services can be easily introduced
Ÿ Enable convergence and migration from legacy circuit
switched to packet switched IMS/IP
Spring 2007
The new SDP allows Turkcell to
leverage existing investments and a
flexible migration path to converge
voice, data and video into single
s e r v i c e d e l i ve r y e n v i ro n m e n t .
Telenity's key strength is in the
Converged Services domain and
many Tier 1 players look upon
Telenity to provide services on their
preferred Application Server
platforms.
“The new SDPA reduces time-tomarket for new services. It now takes
considerably less time to integrate
and deliver new value-added service,”
as Turkcell's Chief Service and Product
Development Officer explains. “Our service provider
partners access the service delivery platform rapidly
through our new portal.”
What Telenity Provided A New Service Delivery Approach
Telenity was instrumental right from the early phases
of the Turkcell Service Delivery Platform Architecture
(SDPA) project and worked with Turkcell and Accenture team on a daily basis to define the use case
requirements and overall architecture. Telenity
designed, developed and delivered several key
components:

Telenity Debuts Video Ringback Tone Service for
SIP/IMS Networks at the 3GSM World Congress 2007
Gurol Akman, Chief Architect, Telenity
As the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) has become
one of the hottest topics in today's telecom world, all
major network operators, service providers, core network
equipment providers, infrastructure suppliers, and
application (service) developers are actively involved in
IMS and 3G network trials.
While the exact motivation hence, its focus and coverage
of individual IMS/3G network trials around the world
seem to vary, they all rely on the availability of some sort
of SIP-based end-user applications. All in all, before IMS
can become the architecture of choice for network
operators who wish to upgrade their existing cellular and
fixed-line networks, they need to be convinced that IMS
can deliver on its key promises; that is availability of
real-time multimedia applications with an
acceptable quality of service.
Telenity, being one of the established players in the Service
Delivery Platform (SDP) ecosystem thanks to its wide
range of market-proven Canvas® family of products, its
recognition of the importance of open-standards for
ease-of-integration with other prominent SDP vendors,
and its revenue-driven, cost-effective, end-to-end SDP
deployment approach and a key supplier of next-generation converged services and platforms, it should come as
no surprise that 3GSM World Congress 2007 in Barcelona,
Spain witnessed a major event by Telenity and its longterm strategic partners BEA Systems and HP.

joint Video Ringback Tone Solution here!
Download the Full Screen Version
At 3GSM, Telenity debuted a SIP-enabled and videoenriched version of its Canvas CoolRings™ application
not only in its own stand but also in a reserved demo
pod in the BEA stand, both running on top of the BEA's
open-standards-based WebLogic SIP application server
(a.k.a. WLSS). While the basic idea behind the 2
exhibition stands was pretty much the same (i.e.,
availability and demonstration of next-generation
video services for deployment in packet-switched
networks), there were subtle differences between
what was on display in each stand.
The Canvas CoolRings demo at the
BEA stand hosted a single instance
of WLSS 3.0 integrated with the IMS
networks elements of HP all running
within a special-purpose equipment
rack put together by BEA, HP, and
Intel. Known as the IMS micro
edition (IMS-ME) rack, the equipment has been designed to travel on
wheels to demonstrate the IMS
technology/business benefits to
network operators around the
world. As can be seen in Figure 1,
IMS-ME environment comprises
built-in CSCF simulators, an HSS, and
an MRF, all supplied by HP and
integrated with BEA's WLSS.

Gurol Akman, Chief Architect, Telenity
The Canvas CoolRings demo at the Telenity stand, on the
other hand, was intended to demonstrate a plain SIP
network version of the application. For this reason, no IMS
network elements were required in the Telenity stand. As
in the other case, a single instance of WLSS 3.0 was used
since the primary focus of both demos was on proof-ofconcept and not on actual service deployment and
concerns related to it.
An obvious difference between the demo configurations
in BEA and Telenity stands involved the need for SIP-based
special-purpose communication protocols (such as ISC for
CSCF/WLSS communication and Diameter for CSCF/HSS
communication) in the former case. Note however, in a
plain SIP network architecture, use of neither IMS
protocol was warranted.
Another notable difference between the demonstrations
at the BEA and Telenity stands at 3GSM 2007 was in regard
to the IP media servers used. At the BEA stand, the demo
was powered by HP OCMP 4.0 (positioned as an MRF in
IMS networks) for video playback. At the Telenity stand,
the Cantata (a.k.a. SnowShore) IP Multimedia Server was
used instead. In the case of HP OCMP, video playback was
facilitated by the SIP-based NETANN protocol whereas
in the case of Cantata IP Media Server, SIP-based
VoiceXML protocol was put in use. The fact that the
demos in both stands were driven by the same Canvas
CoolRings application attested to the importance of
open media server control standards in designing and
deploying media-rich applications for next-generation
networks. To this end, one of the important
announcements made at 3GSM within the leadership of
HP and BEA was about JSR 309 a newly proposed API
for protocol agnostic media server control to which
Telenity contributes as a member of the expert group.
Figure 2 shows a high-level system software
architecture of the SIP-enabled Canvas CoolRings
application debuted at 3GSM 2007. The noteworthy
points to make are that the application comprises a
number of special-purpose SIP and HTTP servlets, all of
which have been designed to execute under standard
SIP/HTTP servlet containers. As a direct result of this
standards-based approach, Canvas CoolRings
application is in a position to run on any J2EE-based SIP
application server that houses a standard (JSR 116) SIP
servlet container.

The Canvas CoolRings service is offered to end users on a
subscription basis. Once subscribed and provisioned by
the operator, subscribers can customize the service
related parameters via WEB, WAP, and/or IVR/IVP portal
interfaces. In a typical use case, a subscriber selects the
video/audio ringback tones that should be provided to
callers on the basis of SIP URIs associated with them. Using
one of the subscriber portal interfaces listed above,
subscribers can purchase new content at any time and
specify the video/audio ringback tone to be provided to a
particular caller or group of callers. Charging for the
Canvas CoolRings service takes place only when new
content is purchased. That is because the ringback tone
service involves early media playback; thus, no charges are
incurred by callers or callees during call setup and ringing.
Figures 3 and 4 are intended to illustrate typical
examples of Canvas CoolRings user experience.
Screenshots in both figures are taken using the
eyeBeam/X-Lite SIP soft phones by CounterPath. Figure
3 depicts a case where the caller has initiated a video call
to a subscriber of the Canvas CoolRings service and he
gets to watch a mixed recording (video + audio) set
forth by the callee while the call is in ringing state. In
Figure 4, we see that the early media has been cut off as
the call has been established.
Figure 3: Call Ringing Phase
Figure 4: Call Established Phase
There is little doubt video will be a key enabler of many next-generation services, both for IMS and 3G networks. The
Canvas CoolRings application of Telenity is one such example of the enhanced end-user experience, excitement, and fun
the real-time multimedia services for next-generation networks promise.
