The new technology introduces a standardized approach for making and receiving phone calls through RDK-B home gateways. In the future, open-source developers can benefit from a reliable solution that speeds deployment of such functions over broadband telecommunications links instead of mobile networks.<\/p>\n<p>Chosen from three finalists, GlobalLogic received the recognition from RDK Management, the open-source consortium managing the Reference Design Kit (RDK) software platform that standardizes core functions used in video, broadband, and IoT connected devices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor telecom operators and network equipment manufacturers continue to evolve their offerings to meet modern use cases and remain competitive. GlobalLogic has been helping these and other companies such as silicon manufacturers and independent vendors develop broadband software based on RDK-B and other software stacks,\u201d said Eli Schwarzfuchs, Managing Director, Israel and France Operations, GlobalLogic. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to receive this award from RDK and view it as a validation of the experience and skills we\u2019ve developed over time in this space. We look forward to contributing that expertise to the open-source community to help drive rapid innovation across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GlobalLogic\u2019s VoIP solution integration leverages Asterisk software\u2014an open-source framework for building communications applications\u2014which the company plans to contribute for RDK-B (RDK for Broadband). It registers customer-premises equipment, specifically the gateway, on the internet session initiation protocol (SIP) server and enables key capabilities such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Making SIP calls through VoIP gateway instead of mobile networks<\/li>\n<li>Making SIP calls between other SIP-connected equipment without requiring internet access<\/li>\n<li>Using a single SIP trunk for all end customers instead of dedicated per customer channels<\/li>\n<li>Universal access to incoming calls via any phone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These capabilities and others can reduce overall management costs while increasing usability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlobalLogic is a well-recognized digital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globallogic.com\/careers\/automation-development-engineer-python-irc149417\/\">engineering company known for designing and developing<\/a> novel digital solutions,\u201d said Jason Briggs, President and General Manager of RDK. \u201cThe company\u2019s award-winning performance at the Hackathon is a true testament to their innovation and commitment to the RDK community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GlobalLogic recognizes the engineers responsible for the innovative technology, specifically highlighting the skilled efforts of the Ukraine and Israel teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About RDK Management <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>RDK Management is an open source consortium that manages RDK for the global community.
