The SDP Global Summit proved again to be the must-attend event.

Introduction We’ve seen in 2013 a […]
Previous weblogs and The Services Domain Report have discussed that the term SDP (Service Delivery Platform) is not appropriate. We’re talking about the Services Domain, see the diagram on the left.

He founded Mobicents an Open Source VoIP Platform to help create, deploy, manage applications integrating voice, video and data. He is […]
