TIPIA Goals
Mission:
 To provide harmonized framework to deploy global, seamless and
interoperable IP Telephony and Multimedia Services based upon ETSI
TIPHON Technical Specifications.
Goals:
 To promote, encourage and facilitate interconnection of interoperable IP
telephony and multimedia services among members, worldwide
 To initiate and support global interoperability trials among TIPIA members
 To define and publish technical requirements and common service
definitions for global network service interoperability
 To develop Interoperability Implementation Agreements
 To provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas among members to
achieve the purposes of TIPIA
TIPIA Organisation /
Membership Classes
Organisation:
 Not for profit organization registered in Delaware, US
Membership Classes:
 A Full Member is a member who is a IP Telephony and Multimedia
Service Provider and who either: will interconnect and interoperate at least
one Designated Service with at least one other IP Telephony and
Multimedia Service Provider in compliance with applicable Association
Specifications, or has entered into a written agreement with another IP
Telephony and Multimedia Service Provider to do so,
TIPIA Membership Classes
 An Associate Member is a Member who publicly announces (or allows
the Association to publicly announce) the Member's commitment to the
Association, and who is an IP Telephony and Multimedia equipment vendor
provides a substantial portion of the functionality of an interoperable IP
Telephony and Multimedia Services or that is integral to the operation of
interoperable service by providing the Association compliant equipment.
 An Observer Member is any Member who publicly announces (allows
the Association to publicly announce) the Member’s commitment to the
Association, and who does not qualify as either a Full Member or an
Associate Member, or who has elected not to be a Full Member or an
Associate Member despite qualifying as such. This includes Standards
Bodies, Research Organizations and other related organizations

FT 1:
IP Telephony and Real Time
Multimedia Services
 The scope of FT1 is to define interoperable IP Telephony and Real Time
Multimedia Services. This group will liaise with ETSI -TIPHON, ITU-T and
IETF to drive the rapid, harmonized development of technical specifications
and standards. Furthermore, this group will develop service implementation
phases. The initial focus will be on IP Telephony.
 For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT1 will:
 Define the global TIPIA inter-domain architecture and solution
 Identify and select of relevant networking standards, recommendations, and
protocols required to implement the TIPIA architecture for the service layer
 Define the required services;
 Develop detailed technical service descriptions i.e. define the general technical
requirements for the different principles for billing, accounting principles and
security, etc.
 Work with TIPIA FTs to align Implementation Phases and priorities in the roll-out
FT 2: System Integration and
Deployment
 The scope of FT2 is to provide harmonised framework for the deployment
of IP Telephony and Multimedia Services. This group also defines system
integration and testing procedures for TIPIA networks, systems and
applications including verification/certification/conformance and
compatibility tests. It is also responsible for defining the requirements for
interoperability testing . Furthermore, this group initiates and conducts
Multimedia and IP Telephony Services interoperability trials. It also
develops a Project Management Plan with specific milestones
 For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT2 will:
 Work with FT 1 to define Implementation Phases and priorities in the roll-out
 Select of relevant networking standards, recommendation and protocols
required to implement the TIPIA architecture for the transport layer
 Initiate and conduct interoperability trials
 Develop the Project Management plan including Milestones
 Define and co-ordinate the relevant test and trials to be carried out
 Address access issues (e.g., wireless, cable, etc.)
FT3: Billing, Accounting, and
Settlement and Fraud
 The scope of FT3 is to define different business models of billing and
accounting and settlement for IP Telephony Services and analyze different
types of IP Telephony fraud risks and recommend cost effective fraud
solutions. It develops the administrative, operational, and performance
specifications to support billing, accounting, and settlement for interdomain calls, including billing and accounting and exchange of call-related
data.
 For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT3 will:
 Develop inter domain billing/ accounting models
 Develop settlement models for IP Telephony Services
 Investigate fraud issues
FT4: QoS Implementation
 The scope of FT4 includes all aspect of QoS implementation for the IP
Telephony Services. It develops requirements to support deployment of
inter-domain services with defined QoS levels.
 For all phases of TIPIA service deployment WG4 will:
 provide an inter-domain QoS implementation framework
 choose QoS relevant options within the TIPHON specifications for TIPIA
deployment and may contribute on such topics within TIPHON
FT5:
Security
 The scope of FT5 includes all aspects of inter domain and intra domain
security such as intercept and data privacy, authentication, access control,
non-repudiation, confidentiality and integrity.
 For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT5 will:
 develop the different Security Policies and specify a minimum level of security;
 choose security relevant options within the TIPHON specifications for TIPIA
deployment and may contribute on such topics within TIPHON;
 be responsible for lawful interception issues within TIPIA in cooperation with EP
TIPHON;
 select solutions and standards (where necessary) to keep the whole IPTelephony system deployed by TIPIA secure
FT6:
Operation, Administration,
Maintenance & Provisioning
 The scope of FT6 is to provide OAM&P functions for service providers to
manage IP network elements, services and networks.
 For all phases of TIPIA service deployment FT6 will:
