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: Copyright © Telenity, Inc. 2006-2007 03 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. Copyright © Telenity, Inc. 2006-2007 Spring 2007 Case Studies Simplifying Service Delivery 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.” Ability to create and deploy services quickly Reduce the cost and complexity of existing silo implementation rd 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 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: Copyright © Telenity, Inc. 2006-2007 05 Case Studies Simplifying Service Delivery Turkcell Legend Telenity A service control and management environment featuring service catalog management, service integration and price management, profile management, unified user management, and subscription management capabilities A service provider gateway to allow partner SP/ASPs controlled access to services provided by the Turkcell SDPA subsystems subject to pre-defined SLA enforcements A web services-based service directory for Turkcell to publish/advertise the list of web services available within the Turkcell SDPA architecture to partner application service provider A graphics-based service creation environment for Turkcell and/or 3rd-party application service providers (i.e., partner ASPs) to design and develop value-added services for subsequent deployment in the Turkcell wireless network A J2SE-based carrier-grade service logic execution environment for deployment of applications to be developed by Turkcell and/or partner ASPs An administrative portal that allows secure access to data repositories maintained as part of the service control and management environment Why Telenity Telenity is greatly thankful to the superb team both Accenture and Turkcell for their trust and confidence in giving the opportunity to Telenity to take part in such a challenging deployment. 06 Telenity's position as a key global player in SDP ecosystem enables it to incorporate proven products to offer a risk-free solution. Telenity's proven products, experience and extensive know-how help operators evolve to a full SDP in well-defined incremental steps. As a result of the commercial launch of SDPA and its portals, Turkcell's Chief Service and Product Development Officer concludes: “We have seen a beyond expectations uptake in our value-added services usage. The new service creation and delivery implementation from Telenity as one of our partner including other SSD partners have helped us to provide the new and more pleasant customer experience with improved time to market values.” About Telenity Telenity is a leading provider of next generation converged services platforms and applications for communications networks .

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. Watch the Telenity, BEA 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. Figure 1: IMS-ME Environment Spring 2007 Copyright © Telenity, Inc. 2006-2007 07 Featured Articles Telenity Debuts Video Ringback Tone Service for SIP/IMS Networks at the 3GSM World Congress 2007 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. Figure 2: System Software Architecture 08 Copyright © Telenity, Inc. 2006-2007 Spring 2007 Featured Articles Telenity Debuts Video Ringback Tone Service for SIP/IMS Networks at the 3GSM World Congress 2007 Gurol Akman, Chief Architect, Telenity 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.
