Book Review: Putting VoIP to Work: Softswitch Network Design and Testing

Softswitching is a sizzling new VoIP Technology that has crossed every mind working in VoIP field. Author had tried to cover this sizzling technology and its implementation in his book “Putting VoIP to Work: Softswitch Network Design and Testing”. The major reason of popularity of Softswitch technology is that, it is very low cost as compared to the hardware soft switches. The cost is sometimes many folds less than the actual cost of a hardware replacement for Switching. .

Use of Softswitch

Softswitch are those software applications that can be used in place of very expensive hardware devices. The hardware cost can be many times high as compared to the software soft switches, hence cutting the cost to a minimum in VoIP networks. The so-called Softswitch applications are not very complex to develop or implemented but still not many people are aware of this technology and that is why the author has provided a much-awaited book to the audience.

Complete technical guide for developing VoIP Systems based on Softswitch technology

The book covers almost every topic needed to develop a full working VoIP system using Softswitch technology. Author uses his very practical and in-depth knowledge to provide systematic instructions leading to development of a full working VoIP system based on Softswitch technology.

Not only the VoIP network, but also the latest techniques such as VoIP network based on class 4 and class 5 Softswitch network technologies which ensures the fast and efficient network, that can meet today,’s need of fast networks for voice data transmission using Softswitch technology.

All Protocols Covered

Book covers all leading protocols such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.323, SCTP, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), H.248 and other IP protocols with interoperability test cases and call flows. Bill, who has build many actual VoIP systems based on Softswitch technology is the author and the book is a must for all interested in VoIP and Softswitch technology.
