Details

Voice communications are increasingly shifting to web and IP-based applications that are outside of traditional telephony networks. Enterprise users want to access their unified communications applications with their own Internet-connected mobile devices and consumers increasingly prefer Internet-based communications channels to access contact centers. In order to meet the demands of users, communications service providers and enterprises are beginning to deploy innovative new applications based on a technology known as WebRTC.

WebRTC is an emerging Internet standard that equips any device with a supported web browser with real-time communications capabilities – such as voice calling, video or screen sharing – via simple application programming interfaces without requiring users to download plug-ins. From a recent Ovum report: ”WebRTC promises to be the next significant disruption to the business communications market, challenging vendors, operators, and enterprises to integrate telephony and video communications with the Web.” (http://ovum.com/research/webrtc-implications-for-the-enterprise/)

To address this market, Oracle has created the Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller to provide a foundation for innovation in a highly available, carrier grade solution designed to enable rapid development and deployment of powerful and differentiating WebRTC applications. Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller is based on technologies from the Oracle Communications Converged Application Server and Oracle’s Acme Packet Session Border Controller. It brings carrier grade network capabilities into the web domain enabling communications service providers and enterprises to create a new form of high quality communications for their users. 

The Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller includes:

• Signaling Engine – interworking between JavaScript based web-clients using signaling over WebSockets and SIP signaling into the core network
