Global IP Solutions (GIPS) has revealed that it is enabling Voice over IP (VoIP) for the iPhone. Using GIPS VoiceEngine Mobile, the company says, iPhone application developers can quickly integrate quality, real-time VoIP applications, making it easier for consumers to enjoy their favourite iPhone games, applications and social networking experiences.
GIPS is the inventor of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) iLBC codec standard, a narrowband speech algorithm designed to optimize calls made over the Internet. The company has also deployed VoIP technology for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), application developers and hardware manufacturers worldwide. The iLBC is built into the iPhone.
The company notes that GIPS VoiceEngines have been downloaded more than any other voice engine worldwide, enabling consumers and businesses to enjoy high-quality IP-based communications, even under adverse network conditions.
