1. “” How much richer would it be if the network could extract more useful 'state' information about the device and/or user, especially if it is enriched with embedded sensors... "phone on charge", "user is on a Bluetooth headset", "battery low", "at location xyz", "moving in a way that looks like it's on train", "in a darkened room" and so on..... “” Dean Bubley 2008

14. 14© Nokia Siemens Networks XMPP / Matti Vesterinen / 11.1.2008 Public presentation not just presence & IM “” There are mission-critical XMPP deployments at most Wall Street banks, numerous major corporations, high-profile agencies of the U.S. federal government, and countless universities and small businesses worldwide. And the percentage of those organizations participating in the process of standardizing XMPP extensions continues to grow significantly, including contributions regarding voice and video integration from Google and on real-time language translation from the U.S. Department of Defense. “” Peter Saint-Andre, January 2007

21. 21© Nokia Siemens Networks XMPP / Matti Vesterinen / 11.1.2008 Public presentation other protocols SIP/SIMPLE Voice drives SIP development Implementation getting difficult due to enormous number of specifications Bandwidth inefficient NATs and firewall troubles (UDP, message based) Proxy functionality (does not exist in XMPP) Proprietary protocols Fast development for specific needs Need gateways to interconnect One initial idea behind XMPP was to offer transparent comunication to other IM systems

22. 22© Nokia Siemens Networks XMPP / Matti Vesterinen / 11.1.2008 Public presentation conclusions Open and standard protocol Strong commitment to interoperability Implementations drive standardisation A lot of available extensions while easy to extend as needed One client – server XML stream TCP; http bindings available Transfer any smallish content over IP in real-time using XMPP
