BELFAST, U.K. -- Aepona, the developer of enabling software for telecoms service delivery, has announced a further key open source initiative to support JAVA developers in the telecommunications world. In order to complement the company’s provision of OSA-Parlay adapters for carriers with J2EE and J2SE service delivery environments, the company has announced it is working with open source developer Mobicents to provide a Parlay Resource Adapter for JAIN-SLEE.

JAIN-SLEE is primarily designed to support the rapid development of robust telecommunications applications in Java. As a result, many operators who have investigated JAIN-SLEE environments can now avail of OSA-Parlay compliant APIs into telecommunications resources. Aepona’s Causeway product is one of the most pervasive OSA-Parlay compliant service enablement suites in use by operators worldwide. As a result, Aepona has entered into partnership with the open source organisation, Mobicents, to develop a fully Parlay-compliant Resource Adapter for JAIN-SLEE application servers.

For telecommunications operators that have standardised on JAVA as an application environment this is very significant. With a full complement of standards-compliant Java adapters in place these operators can reap all the advantages that a Parlay-compliant gateway brings – such as vendor independence, rapid service creation and roll-out, and access to third party applications, ready-made. In addition, operators can migrate smoothly to next generation intelligent network environments freed from vendor lock-in.
