The boxes have the ability to be controlled via SIP and there is an API available for third-party developers.<\/p>\n<p>While I think this is great news for the industry, I hope users understand what a leap forward this is in technology. Traditional conference bridges for lack of a better word, stink.<\/p>\n<p>They stink because they generally use PSTN quality and don&#8217;t attempt to improve on this decades-old technology. Let&#8217;s hope this new advance changes conference calling for the better. When you think about it, conference calls are really where quality phone calls make the most sense to have.<\/p>\n<p>I do need to point out you need end devices which are able to take advantage of these new frequencies. I will leave it to the company to explain what devices they interoperate with but theoretically a SIP soft client should do the trick for users at computers and possibly on smart phones.<\/p>\n<p>I wish the company good luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new product was just announced today and I cannot be more excited as it shows innovation is very alive and well in communications.
