[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Bucharest, Romania - August 6, 2008 - YATE Project (www.yate.null.ro) 
and OpenSIPS (www.opensips.org) decided to enhance the already informal 
collaboration by strengthening their common efforts for delivering 
industry-grade, robust modular platforms for IP-based clustered VoIP 
systems.

OpenSIPS is an industry grade SIP server, unifying under one roof voice, 
video, IM and presence. Recently, OpenSIPS launched as a fork of the 
previously OpenSER project, following a will of cofounder Bogdan-Andrei 
Iancu to boost the quality and features of OpenSER.

YATE is a softswitch with PBX capabilities. His strengths are 
flexibility, scalability and stability. Yate is also known for his very
powerful conference and IVR, and also for supporting several scripting 
languages like PHP, Python and Perl.

By combining the exhaustive expertise each project is bringing in the 
venture, clients will have the chance to benefit from a integrated 
approach and problem-solving solution in the turmoiled and diverse VoIP 
environment.

Based on SIP, the common working platform will interoperate seamlessly 
and efficiently for a diverse realm of VoIP service platforms, from a 
small hundreds accounts project up to major implementations of over 
hundreds thousands subscribers. All upgrading smoothly up to any 
dimension clients will require.

The partnership will likely to produce an integrated solution, combining 
the latest releases from both projects.
