FOKUS Open SOA Telco Playground

The success story of the Open SOA Telco Playground has reached a new level: We have created the Smart Communications Playground to reflect our latest research activities in generic communication enablement for M2M and human-to-human services. Thus the internationally recognized and established Open SOA Telco Playground will be an important part of FOKUS Smart City Enablement research.

The Open SOA Telco Playground (launched 2006), which offers Telco-oriented service layer components for SDPs and user agents is an open and vendor independent testbed for service prototyping and interoperability testing.
