Nokia has announced a VoIP server designed for fixed and mobile operators to offer VoIP and other services, such as caller ID and SMS text messaging.
The VoIP server is compliant with the standardization work done by 3GPP and ETSI TISPAN, which means operators can converge legacy voice and SIP-driven VoIP.
The VoIP server can be implemented as a stand-alone device in fixed networks or it can be deployed as an application server within the IMS framework.
The Nokia VoIP Server currently is being trialed by "a number of key operators," according to the company, and will be available for deployment in the first half of 2006.
