FSS is the clear leader in the SIP stack market with 32% share, according to VDC’s Telecom Core Infrastructure Market Intelligence Service 2005-2006. SIP is an application layer control protocol that can establish, modify and terminate multimedia sessions or calls.

“SIP is a dynamic and rapidly growing software sector where scalability and interoperability are critical,” said Robert Johnson, Senior Telecom Analyst of Venture Development Corporation. “Hardware manufacturers, software vendors and service providers have increasingly high expectations of companies providing SIP protocol stacks and toolkits. FSS’ top ranking is a very strong statement from the market,” continued Mr. Johnson.

“FSS’ products’ proven ability to reduce time-to-market and their superior scalability, interoperability and quality are the top factors our customers cite when they choose our SIP products,” according to Suresh Kabra, Assistant Vice President and Head of Products of Flextronics Software Systems. “We will continue to accelerate the development of our customers’ products and services through FSS products that include SIP-powered IMS offerings, SIP User Agent Toolkits, our SIP Server Framework, our Back-to-Back User Agent and our SIGCOMP stack,” added Mr. Kabra.
