Ericsson to OEM BroadSoft's VoIP Application Software
Ericsson and BroadSoft have signed a global OEM agreement to integrate components of BroadSoft’s BroadWorks technology into Ericsson’s IMS based Engine Multimedia 2.0 (EMM 2.0) solution. This would enable service providers to use same platform across wireline and wireless networks based on the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) architecture.
Ericsson will market the EMM 2.0 platform with integrated BroadWorks technology as part of its softswitch offering, which is based on the 3GPP architecture. The solution supports multimedia services, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex, residential broadband and collaborative conferencing services, transparently across different networks. The integration of the BroadWorks media and application servers into EMM 2.0 is based on SIP. It follows the architecture developed for 3GPP that will be used in next generation fixed and mobile networks to provide multimedia services regardless of location. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.broadsoft.comhttp://www.ericsson.com

You just read about Ericsson. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Redback Networks built Broadband edge routers and subscriber management. What became of it?
Redback Networks brought Broadband edge routers and subscriber management to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Ericsson for US$2.1B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Ericsson today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about VoIP. Here is what it replaced:
POTS / PSTN served from 1876. What ultimately replaced it?
POTS / PSTN analog voice carried as a continuous electrical signal over a copper loop to a circuit-switched exchange, which set up an end-to-end dedicated path for the duration of the call. Its job passed to VoIP — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
