C2Call is a real technology break through, a SIP compatible browser phone that instantly can place VoIP calls to phone and mobile networks and it went not unnoticed by some of the industrial leading companies. We have worked with a few of them on projects in the past. Usually this work is done top-secret under NDAs. So this time we were first a bit surprised to see our work on youtube!
Cisco XD lets you recreate your complete office environment in 3D through a stunning interface. Not only Cisco equipment but as well furniture and fixtures in high definition 3D, just drop and drag the gear. Then you can click on a Cisco phone and thanks to our patent pending Click to Call Java technology you can call from and to any of these virtual phones.
Since the beginning of the development of our Click to Call technology that gave C2Call its name we made sure that our service will be SIP compatible. SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol and was originally invented by Henning Schulzrinne and Mark Handley back in 1996. This signaling protocol is an application layer and therefore independent from the underlying transport layer, later can be TCP, UDP or SCTP etc. SIP was and is a tremendous success Nowadays many large scale VoIP systems are based on SIP, companies names like Vonage and our FriendCaller service all using SIP. Many of these companies allow their users to connect their own SIP devices, as SIP-capable telephone sets, mobile phone or soft phone.
Our FriendCaller website demonstrates already how a SIP compatible browser based soft phone is started in any browser and can instantly establish a VoIP call to another FriendCaller user or any phone number. This did not went unnoticed and ever since we launched FriendCaller we started got inquires from other VoIP provider that wanted to license this technology break through. Now we finally had the resources to prepare a SIP compatible client that can be licensed by VoIP providers. Soon FriendCaller will not be the only browser based VoIP service, and we are looking forward to the new application our C2Call technology will find. More info about licensing the SIP compatible soft phone will be posted soon on our website.
Probably everybody is following these days the relief effort in Haiti. Unfortunately we all have seen large-scale disasters before, I’m living in Asia where we had not only the 2004 Tsunami but as well the 1999 earthquake in Taiwan and the 2008 in Sichuan, China. What is new in Haiti is the apparent lack of infrastructure.
Interesting to see that despite the magnitude of the quake and the almost complete destruction of whatever little infrastructure was in place before, the Internet survived, almost immediately after the quake the first eyewitness reports came through the Internet.
The traditional approach to emergency and first responders’ communication is very robust, reliable, heavy, military style of communication equipment. In Germany for example just started to build a separate GSM network for Policy and emergency services, a huge task considering that the country is covered already by several GSM providers network.
To me Haiti is a good example that the approach to emergency communication may have to shift, it is practically impossible to have some 50 nations participating in the relief work to agree on a common communication network, leave alone to deploy it in a matter of hours. So it came to my mind, why not using VoIP? It is possible to create a infrastructure with ten thousands of users including an emergency phone book in a matter of a few hours and with inter operational standards like SIP it can be deployed on all kind of devices, platforms and communication layers like GSM, UMTS, CDMA, DSL, PSTN etc. What ever is still there or could be added could be used.
So a lightweight VoIP solution could be a better solution to the closed-user group military style of equipment in use today. I’m not saying that www.c2call.com is the right solution but the use of VoIP in general should be considered and further researched for the benefit of all of us.
It has been more than a year since we officially started and we getting more and more inquiries, so we think it is a good time to start sharing some information about the projects we working on etc. Our main blog about our FriendCaller products is to be found at www.FriendCaller.com/blog
This blog is dedicated to C2Call and trends around browser based VoIP solutions in general. C2Call (click-to-call) is the first and only browser-based VoIP solution that can start a web-phone and establish a peer-to-peer connection platform-independent through any Java enabled Internet browser without prerequisite installations. It can be easily integrated in any web service and we have done it recently for a few of the big names under the usual NDAs and hope that one day we are allowed to talk about this as well.
However, C2Call demonstrates with the fast growing end-user website www.FriendCaller.com and its FriendCaller iPhone apps the tremendous potential of web-based Voice Communication to the general public and we are a bit overwhelmed about the success, on Thanksgiving alone where we ran a very moderate PPC campaign on Google adWords we did see more than 10,000 sign ups,
Browser-based is sometimes confused with “web-activated”. These Jajah-type calls are activated by submitting 2 phone numbers to a server that calls both phone numbers simultaneously. I think it is a brilliant idea when you have 2 phone and Internet connection on hand but consequently somebody has to pay for 2 phone calls, there are no free calls in the world of the good old telcos providing phone lines.
The C2Call Java app instead has essentially the same Voice en- and decoding functionality as installed clients used by Skype or Google Talk. C2Call is pretty unique, the only competing technology is flash based. We will talk about flash based VoIP clients and why we developed Java based C2Call after evaluating Flash in more details some other time.
