US
: RADVISION announced it has licensed its Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) developers toolkit to QUALCOMM Incorporated. Under this agreement,
QUALCOMM is licensing RADVISION's award-winning SIP toolkit as the
developer platform for QUALCOMM's Qvideophone(TM) videoconferencing
solution, which is integrated into select QUALCOMM Mobile Station
Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) chipsets and will initially target the CDMA2000(R)
1x-EV-DO-based mobile market.
The RADVISION
SIP Developer Platform is a service creation platform that provides
developers with an open, object-oriented architecture (coded in ANSI
C) for building SIP-based communications products for the wireline,
wireless, and mobile worlds. The platform features RADVISION's powerful
standards-based SIP stack as well as multiple layers of APIs, from
high-level APIs that hide the complexity of the protocol and enable
rapid development of applications to mid and low level APIs that expose
the intricacies of the protocol and allow for more detailed customization
tuned to the specific requirements of the application or product.
The RADVISION SIP Toolkit, a component of RADVISION's mobile/wireless
developer suite of products, chosen by QUALCOMM, was specifically
enhanced to meet the requirements of the mobile network including
support of SigComp (Signaling Compression), mobile IP and multi homed
host. The Toolkit also comes with SDP and RTP/RTCP libraries necessary
for the development of advanced IP-based communications products.
"RADVISION
is pleased that QUALCOMM has selected the powerful SIP Toolkit and
Developer Suite to develop components of the QUALCOMM Qvideophone
solution," said Boaz Raviv, General Manager of RADVISION's Technology
Business Unit. "RADVISION -- with its strong track record in
providing easy-to-use, feature-rich, and interoperable developer toolkits
for IP protocol devices and applications -- delivers time-to-market
improvements while allowing developers to focus on creating advanced
features and functionality."
