Abstract :
This paper introduces a multi-million project that intends to design and implement a novel intelligent platform-AnyServer-for providing the ubiquitous communication (video/audio streaming and data transmission) for mobile nodes terminals/handsets to connect and communicate. AnyServer, as the platform, will provide the inter-operability between the different networks, attacking with the following implementation/design objectives and challenging issues: 1) WiFi and 3G-324M multimedia transmission protocols stack, 2) server and networking functions will be implemented to harness a set of servers of call server, media gateway, signaling gateway, and subscriber location registration, 3) adaptive soft-switching package to support mobile units routing and roaming the heterogeneous networks
