Wildix vs HOMER: at a glance
What is Wildix?
Wildix pairs security certifications with Wilma AI handling front-line partner support.
The feed remains press-led. The two substantive items are ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 certification and the rollout of Wilma AI as mandatory first-line support for the partner network, with nearly half of requests resolved without a human, according to the company. The rest covers a Gartner Magic Quadrant Niche Player placement, a Frost Radar Innovator listing, an industry award and a UK channel partnership.
What is HOMER?
HOMER 11 closes an open mTLS listener and stops dropping ISUP from SIP-I calls.
HOMER's 11.0 pre-releases keep pairing security fixes with SIP-I decoding. 11.0.384 makes HEP and HTTPS ingest with mutual TLS and no CA refuse to start, where before they accepted any client, and runs all-in-one node reads in the DuckDB sandbox. It also stops the Decode window from dropping the ISUP part of multipart SIP-I INVITEs. 11.0.382 and 11.0.381 had already required tokens for the live SIP stream and admin rights for alert changes.

2.5MEETINGS
Wildix pairs security certifications with Wilma AI handling front-line partner support.
◆ Current state
The feed remains press-led. The two substantive items are ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 certification and the rollout of Wilma AI as mandatory first-line support for the partner network, with nearly half of requests resolved without a human, according to the company. The rest covers a Gartner Magic Quadrant Niche Player placement, a Frost Radar Innovator listing, an industry award and a UK channel partnership.
◆ Where it's heading
Wildix is building a trust case around European enterprise buying, with certifications and analyst placements doing the work. Making Wilma AI mandatory for its own partner support is a stronger proof point than a demo, since it puts the agent in Wildix's own operations. Actual product releases remain out of view in this feed.
◆ Prediction
Expect more analyst and channel announcements, plus Wilma AI usage figures as sales evidence. The feed does not show the next product release.
HOMER
5.0MEETINGS
HOMER 11 closes an open mTLS listener and stops dropping ISUP from SIP-I calls.
◆ Current state
HOMER's 11.0 pre-releases keep pairing security fixes with SIP-I decoding. 11.0.384 makes HEP and HTTPS ingest with mutual TLS and no CA refuse to start, where before they accepted any client, and runs all-in-one node reads in the DuckDB sandbox. It also stops the Decode window from dropping the ISUP part of multipart SIP-I INVITEs. 11.0.382 and 11.0.381 had already required tokens for the live SIP stream and admin rights for alert changes.
◆ Where it's heading
Three releases in a week closed access gaps, which suggests a security review of the 11.0 line before a stable release. Alongside it, the work on SIP-I and ISUP decoding points at carrier and telco users who bridge SS7 and SIP.
◆ Prediction
Expect more fail-closed defaults and sandboxing in the next 11.0 builds, and possibly a published advisory for the mTLS issue.
