Alert) has announced that its VoIP technology is ready for Passive Optical Network (PON). VoPON is based on the universal standards-based SIP

signaling protocol.
Considered to be an “ideal” platform for launching packet-based VoIP service, PON can carry all three types of traffic natively in packet form over a single fiber connection from the central office (CO

) to the customer premises.
Company officials said that it’s the only protocol that can scale for multimedia services and future integration with IMS

wireless networks, providing carriers deploying HelloSoft VoIP gain a range of options for leveraging their investment.
“PON's powerful and scalable bandwidth is the perfect broadband technology for Voice-over-IP services and HelloSoft is enabling VoIP

over PON by providing the most optimized VoIP solutions for PON,” said Ron Victor, vice marketing and general manager for marketing and business development at HelloSoft.
He also said HelloSoft is ready to cater to PON manufacturers who wish to add highly optimized VoIP to their PON designs for a complete product running on a single-chip solution.
HelloSoft is a provider of VoIP technologies for a plethora of CPEs, including SOHO Gateways, PON Gateways, IP Phones, Dual-Mode Phones and VoIP-enabled WiFi

and WiMax SoCs.
The company’s VoIP products include a complete set of algorithms required for voice processing such as high compression Voice Coders, Acoustic Echo Canceller, Telephony components, Jitter Buffering, SIP Signaling Protocol, RTP/RTCP, Call Manager, OS Abstraction and Media and System Frameworks. In addition, provided with the software platform, is an application layer with appropriate APIs.
Officials pointed out their company’s carrier-class VoIP products are commercially deployed on various operator networks and have gone through extensive interop testing globally with most commercially available SIP servers, IMS Cores and CPE devices, including IP Phones, ATAs, dual-mode phones, voice gateways and more.
The company, last month, announced the launch of HelloMobileCommunicator-FMC for Nokia’s (
