Introducing the OASIS platform, a leading and open standards multimedia and switching solution. Combining cutting-edge technology with innovative platform features, OASIS delivers incomparable facilities and advantages that fully support the complex requirements of present and Next Generation Networks (NGN).

As the pioneering platform of OASIS Systems (founded in 1989), the OASIS Platform was launched to support service bureaus in the premium rate industry for mass calling competitions and televoting events.

Officially launched in 1994, OASIS delivered the first ISDN based IVR solution in Australia. 1996-7 saw the OASIS platform enabling the launch of prepaid calling card and prepaid mobile services into Australia with key customers Vodafone and Unidial.

Subsequently, the OASIS Platform with its modular architecture evolved into a series of key product offerings as a result of strategic OEM partnerships with leading technology vendors. In 1998, OASIS launched an IN based, Service Control Point with Compaq (Digital), this followed another OEM product launch with Intel (Dialogic Division) in 2001, where we introduced to the market a high density TDM / IP / Converged Media Server capable of supporting over 2000 TDM ports per 4RU server.

The key to the OASIS platform’s success lies in its core strengths of flexibility, reliability, and scalability. Combining, the use of open standards based hardware, operating systems and system interfaces, the platform is highly interoperable with open standards compliant networks & systems.  

Standards Based

The OASIS platform utilises open standards and open source technologies as it’s foundation. Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 4.0), OASIS adopts all applicable industry standards (e.g. VoiceXML, RTSP, MRCP, IMS, SIP, RTP, SOAP, XML, HTTP) to ensure current and future interoperability with external systems and networks .

Modular Software

OASIS introduced the concept of Telephony Objects in the late 1990’s, to allow solution providers to “mix and match” the platform’s software modules. This enables our platform to be tailored specifically to match deployment requirements, and to introduce new technologies into our solution without affecting existing applications.

For instance, an application running on an ISDN platform can seamlessly interface to ISUP or IP environments with little or no changes to the base application.  This ensures the platform has a long term shelf life and avoids unnecessary redundancy or re-write  due to new technology implementations and network environment migrations or changes.

OASIS plug-in Telephony Objects provide support for media resources, call / media controllers and different types of telephony networks including SIP, INAP, CAMEL 1-3, ISUP, CAS, ISDN, media resources such as Video, Voice, Speech (ASR), Text-To-Speech (TTS), Conferencing, Fax, and DTMF.

Modular Architecture (Centralised and Distributed)

OASIS has a history of large deployments in the mass calling service bureau and telecom operator markets.  To address availability and performance problems common to those verticals, OASIS released a server based distributed software capability in 1999.  There are three key advantages of this architecture: performance, availability and scalability.

The ability to distribute and load share applications across many media servers is key to maintaining performance.  Distributed platform modules allow solution architects to ensure adequate CPU power is available to the processes needing it most.  This allows OASIS to be deployed on a massive scale yet and delivering the highest levels of performance and availability.

OASIS has a native fail-over / hot standby capability which maintains service availability; 99.999% availability solutions are easily architected with no single point of failure.
