    Building Residential Voip Gateways: a Tutorial

    Building Residential VoIP Gateways: A Tutorial by T Y Chan and Debbie Greenstreet, Glenn Yancey and Kim Devlin-Allen, David Jarrett and Keith Buchanan, Sophia Scoggins PhD, Matt Harvill and Demetri Jobson VoIP Business Unit www.analogzone.com Building Residential VoIP Gateways: A Tutorial Part One: A Systems-Level Overview by T Y Chan and Debbie Greenstreet, VoIP Group, Texas Instruments Incorporated While voice-over-IP (VoIP) products have been deployed in the market for over seven years, recent announcements by service providers such as Vonage, AT&T, Sprint and others have created a flurry of activity by consumer equipment manufacturers racing to roll out residential VoIP gateway products. These low-cost devices are usually standalone boxes that provide VoIP functionality for POTS (plain old telephone system) via a broadband modem (usually cable or DSL). They serve as a bridge between the TMD/analog POTS world, and the IP-centric, packet-based world of the Internet. As with most consumer products, their designers are usually faced with meeting aggressive product cost targets along with tight development schedules. The product feature shopping list often includes features not only specific to the basic VoIP gateway functionality but to other ancillary functions as well. These include data bridging and routings, such as found in common residential router products, emerging voice and signaling security features such as voice encryption and IPSec, and quality of service (QoS) features necessary to troubleshoot and maintain residential VoIP services. This article is the first in a series intended to assist engineers by providing detailed design considerations for all major portions of VoIP residential gateway products.

    Low-Cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: an Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup

    Low-cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: An Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup Cynthia Kuo Jesse Walker Adrian Perrig Carnegie Mellon University Intel Corporation Carnegie Mellon University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup spec- ify mechanisms for exchanging authentication credentials in wireless net- works. Both Simple Pairing and Protected Setup support multiple setup mechanisms, which increases security risks and hurts the user experience. To improve the security and usability of these specifications, we suggest defining a common baseline for hardware features and a consistent, in- teroperable user experience across devices. 1 Introduction Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled devices are increasingly common. Already, manu- facturers ship around 10 million Bluetooth units and 4 million Wi-Fi units each week [1, 2]. Inevitably, consumers will perform security-sensitive transactions – including financial transactions – over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Thus, institutions should demand a basic level of assurance: that these technologies do not expose their systems or their customers’ accounts to additional risks. This implies that (1) the security mechanisms in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi should be at least as strong as the rest of the system; and (2) the mechanisms should be easy to use so that consumers can configure and use them correctly. We evaluate the security and usability of setup in the Bluetooth SIG’s Simple Pairing specification (August 2006) [3] and the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Protected Setup specification (released December 2006) [4]. These specifications were developed with two goals in mind: first, to make the technologies easy for non-expert users; and second, to address vulnerabilities in earlier versions of the technology.

    Build a Superior Customer Experience Around Small Cells

    BUILD A SUPERIOR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AROUND SMALL CELLS REDUCE COSTS, BOOST CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND INCREASE ARPU WITH SOLUTIONS THAT STREAMLINE SMALL CELL OPERATIONS AND IMPROVE CUSTOMER CARE STRATEGIC WHITE PAPER Small cell technologies bring network operators new opportunities to address surging mobile data traffic, increasing indoor mobile device use and growing expectations relative to quality of experience (QoE). However, small cells also bring new levels of complexity to network deployment, operations and maintenance processes. To seize the small cell opportunity, operators need solutions that can take cost and complexity out of the network while delivering the superior QoE that enterprise and residential customers demand. On the operations side, this calls for solutions that can manage devices and services, handle diverse access technologies and work effectively in multivendor networks. On the customer side, it calls for solutions that can sustain a high QoE by supporting better and more proactive customer care.

The growing gap between mobile traffic and mobile revenue has operators searching for solutions that will allow them to plan and utilize their network deployments more efficiently. The current technology evolution path may not support prevailing traffic trends. Today, mobile data traffic growth stems mainly from residential and enterprise users who use their devices indoors.
