Service Development Studio
Ericsson’s Service Development Studio (SDS) is a service-creation tool that provides an environment for operators and independent software vendors to design and test their own IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) applications. SDS allows end-to-end testing of both the client and server side of applications. It contains a standards-based IMS network simulator with communication services emulators.
SDS runs on a PC, is based on the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE), uses common practices and de facto standards in the Java community, and provides high-level application programming interfaces (APIs) to hide the network and terminal device complexity from the designer. Through the high-level APIs, the SDS user can control and access advanced capabilities such as Presence and Group Management (PGM), Voice over IP (VoIP), Push-to-Talk (PTT), IMS Messaging (IMS-M), and Combinational (CS Voice + PS sessions).
SDS is verified with Ericsson’s IMS system offering and is released in synchronization with new IMS system releases.
SDS has been discontinued and is no longer available for download, as of Q4 2010.
