The Mobicents Communication Platform is suitable for creating, deploying and managing converged services and applications integrating voice, video and data across a range of IP and legacy communications networks. It includes the following key modules:

• Mobicents JAIN-SLEE provides a scalable event-driven application server with a robust component model and fault tolerant execution environment. Mobicents JAIN-SLEE is the first and only Open Source Platform certified for JAIN-SLEE 1.1 compliance. It complements J2EE to enable convergence of voice, video and data in next generation intelligent applications. Web and SIP can be combined together to achieve more sophisticated and natural user experience.

• Mobicents Sip Servlets provides a consistent, open platform for rapid development and deployment of portable and scalable SIP services. It is the first open source implementation of SIP Servlet v1.1 (JSR 289) and runs with Tomcat or JBoss AS. JSIP is leveraged as the low level SIP protocol stack.

• Mobicents Media Server is an open source pure Java real time media server. MMS is the first open source implementation of JSR 309 (Media Server Control). MMS delivers competitive, complete, best-of-breed media gateway functionality. It is designed to meet the demands of converged wireless, wireline, cable broadband access and fixed-mobile converged VoIP networks from a single media gateway platform. MMS supports a wide variety of call control protocols and scales down to meet the demands of enterprises and small carrier providers. MMS is designed to scale reliably and predictably in cloud computing environments

• Mobicents SIP Presence Service provides presence functionalities to SIP based networks, implementing standards from IETF, OMA, 3GPP and ETSI. It includes a XDM Server, a Presence Server, a Resource Lists Server (TBA), all implemented on top of the Mobicents JAIN SLEE core. Client access components such as JAIN SLEE SBB enablers interfaces, internal and external to the servers, are also provided.

• Mobicents Diameter is an open source implementation of the Diameter family of protocols enabling AAA services for IMS components such as Application Server (AS), Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Call Session Control Function (CSCF), Subscriber Location Function (SLF), and others. Mobicents Diameter is easily extensible to new applications required by 3GPP or custom vendor applications.

• Mobicents SS7 and USSD Gateway is an open source Java software stack implementing MTP2,3, ISUP, SCCP, TCAP, CAMEL, and MAP protocols for dedicated SS7 equipment such as Dialogic SS7 PC Cards. Mobicents SS7 also provides SS7 interconnectivity over IP vis M3UA (SIGTRAN).

Mobicents was founded in 2003 by Ivelin Ivanov. In 2007, Mobicents assets were acquired by Red Hat. In 2011, Red Hat, Inc. discontinued support for Mobicents. Consequently Ivelin Ivanov, Jean Deruelle, Amit Bhayani and other members of the core development team created TeleStax, Inc. to take over leadership and professional support for Mobicents.
