Multimedia Instant Messaging is supported by the IMS Messaging (IMS-M) network node
Integration with the SailFin 1.0 JavaEE/SIP server
Ericsson’s Service Development Studio (SDS) is the only fully comprehensive tool for development and end-to-end testing of both the client and server side of new convergent all-IP (IMS) applications. SDS contains a standards-based IMS network simulator with communication services emulators. SDS supports clients and devices for Mobile, Fixed Broadband, and WLAN access.
With the SDS 4.1, developers can use the high-level IMS device APIs as defined in JSR 281 and under definition in JSR 325 to control and access advanced capabilities such as Presence and Group Management (PGM), Voice over IP (VoIP), Push-to-Talk (PTT), IMS-M and Combinational (CS Voice + PS sessions).
SDS can be configured as an IMS core network emulator and also as a cost-effective JavaEE/SIP server execution environment for live user or market IMS service trials. SDS is verified with Ericsson’s IMS system offering and is released in sync with new Ericsson IMS system releases.
SDS runs on a PC, is based on the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Wireless Toolkit (WTK). It uses common practices and de-facto standards in the Java community and provides high-level APIs to hide the network and terminal device complexity from the designer.
The new SDS 4.1 release adds, integrates and supports the Open Source Glassfish/SailFin JavaEE/SIP server and enhances support for peer-to-peer VoIP communication and WLAN access. The SDS IMS-M emulator supports 1-1 and 1-many Instant Messaging (IM) using the SIP MESSAGE method. It also supports 1-1 and 1-many Instant Multimedia Messaging within SIP INVITE p-2-p session and using MSRP capabilities.
