What, then, should enterprises and operators do with video technologies to make them sell?
VoIP or SIP application developers can be categorised by the clothes they wear, the bicycles they ride or the approach they take to programming. This post is about the latter. Which grouping do you belong to when it comes to writing VoIP, IP telephony or SIP-based applications?
Regardless of the purpose of your application, whether it be a straightforward, IVR/auto-attendant ‘front-end’ or a complex, unified communications application for a sophisticated contact centre environment, you can approach its development from a number of different angles. There are many competing methods for developing software.
Aculab is probably best known for its DSP-based hardware which has been providing the media processing power for TDM and IP-based communications since 1998. Additionally, since 2003, we have provided developers who had a preference for a software only solution to have access to the same media processing capabilities with our Prosody S host media processing (HMP) product. You could say that these products are the bread and butter of Aculab's portfolio.
As you may have seen from our recent press release, we have been working on an extension to our portfolio, the AMS Server.
This week saw the UK get national coverage of the next evolution in telephony, HD Voice, from Orange. Technically, it has been a long time coming - the first wideband codec to be standardised by the telecommunications industry (ITU-T) was G.722 and it dates back to the 1980s! It was perhaps constrained in its early years by the patents in place to use it, but now patent free, it is seeing widespread adoption in enterprise solutions such as IP-based desk phones and conferencing systems.Orange's announcement is of nationwide availability of HD Voice based on a codec developed specifically for mobile environments, AMR-WB (a.k.a. G.722.2).

How often have you heard someone ask, "How long is a piece of string?"? But is it really a question? Often, it's used as more of a rhetorical statement than posed as a question to be answered. It's often used in exasperated response to some other question seemingly impossible to answer as in: "How long will you take to finish this piece of code?"
Of course, there are answers to the 'string' question.
In mathematics, you could apply laws of probability or plot the distribution of string length on a graph to produce a mean result of sorts. Continue Reading...
