Interoperability Testing Completed for PortaSwitch IP and Flashphone

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Interoperability testing between PortaOne’s PortaSwitch IP multimedia subsystem and Flashphone from Innovative Systems of Communication LLC has been completed successfully. Flashphone is a softphone client. The interoperable solution offers reliable peer-to-peer and peer-to-whoever phone calls.

“With both consumers and organizations of all sizes looking for ways to reduce costs, a ‘call via Web site’ capability is a highly attractive offering in today’s global economy,” said Roman Khalenkov, sales and marketing director for PortaOne. “The mutual support of PortaSwitch and Flashphone creates an instant value-add for service providers that can build loyalty and increase revenues.”

According to the companies:

Flashphone, based on InnoSystems’ Zingaya(TM) Media Server VoIP gateway, is a “call via Web site” solution for free or low-cost IP telephony. For end-users, Flashphone requires nothing more than a Web browser and sufficient bandwidth, along with a PC headset and the free Adobe Flash Player plug-in. The service can be offered free for peer-to-peer calls, or at low cost for calls to regular phone numbers.

InnoSystems’ Flashphone is a market-ready softphone enhancement for PortaSwitch, PortaOne’s flagship VoIP services platform. PortaSwitch is a software-based communication services and subscriber management solution that allows IP telephony services providers to unify voice, data and fax traffic within a single network. The comprehensive, Class 5 product consists of a softswitch and application servers, delivering SIP call control, unified messaging, IP Centrex and IP PBX, voice VPN, callback management, billing and provisioning and much more.

“PortaOne and Flashphone is a powerful combination that can be offered both as an end-user product and a solution for e-Commerce, businesses or call centers,” said Alexey Aylarov, project manager of InnoSystems. “Interoperability with PortaOne demonstrates Flashphone’s flexibility and reliability in supporting leading-edge IP multimedia systems.”

Our product Zingaya Media Server allows to create Flash VoIP applications compatible with SIP protocol. We’ve found out that many new CRM systems are web-based and it would be cool to have CRM+VoIP right in your web-browser window, it’s very convenient, imagine - you just click to customer’s number in your CRM and Flash VoIP module initiate this call (Skype out integration works in the same way) or you got incoming call in flash and CRM opens page with calling customer info .Our server can be setup to work with your corporate SIP PBX or Call center or just some SIP provider. Now we are working on module for SugarCRM (see the screenshot) Flash VoIP in SugarCRM one of the most popular web-based opensource CRM systems, later will check what can be done with Salesforce and others.

Some info about next flashphone.

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

After some work with 3rd parties RTMP implementations (Red5, Wowza) we’ve decided to create our own one, because we don’t need fully functional Flash Media Server as we don’t use a lot of it’s functions. Our implementation is lightweight and there is only functionality required for our services. In the next flashphone release we going to add H.263+ and H.264 video codecs support. That doesn’t mean that flash player will encode to H.264 directly and quality will become comparable with H.264, but it allows to use flashphone with external systems supporting H.264. Zingaya Media Server will be updated as well.

Video calls support is nearly ready. We are making our last tests.

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

We are glad to inform that we have implemented video calls support from flash to SIP and from SIP to flash, so as flash to flash video calls (flash to flash is common feature, nothing new…). Now Zingaya Media Server supports video calls to SIP softphones or hardphones with H.263 video codec support. We are going to include this new feature to Flashphone 2 and allow flashphone users make video calls between each other and to external SIP soft/hardphones. Just think about that video calling without software installation and without endless list of software settings!

Here are some images of video calls from x-lite to our flash application and back:

P.S. I got only one webcam and haven’t downloaded webcam emulator yet to show you video in both directions simultaneously.

First tests of Speex built-in Flash Player 10 beta

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

First tests showed that we got Speex wideband (16KHz) in Flash Player 10 beta. Sound quality is excellent(like with skype2skype calls), liveDelay of NetStream is 0.18 sec (without packets loss in TCP connection) and is very stable, so we can assume that Flash Player 10 uses new buffer implementation for speex audio data.

So our roadmap for Zingaya Media Server speex support:

- Support speex passing via ZMS without transcoding in 16 KHz, some systems (eyeBeam softphone for example) support wideband speex already.

- Support speex resampling into 8 KHz

- Support speex transcoding into G.711 and other common VoIP codecs

Will be waiting for RTMFP protocol details to learn more about UDP connections between flash player and FMS or between flash player (p2p). Let’s wait until FMS release with RTMFP support.
