Hardware and Software Ecosystem and Standards For VoIP, video, and converged communications
While deployment of VoIP, video and converged communications are growing rapidly, many benefits have not been realized due to lack of interoperability of the hardware and software ecosystem. Intel is playing a key role in enabling a future of ubiquitous communications where voice, data and video are deeply integrated, and information sharing is immediate and seamless.
By actively working with industry organizations such as the IETF, IEEE and SIP Forum, Intel is helping to drive standards and rich interoperability to ensure the availability of high-quality scalable components.
Businesses and end-users continue to experience increasingly integrated communications with help from an extensive ecosystem of hardware and software developers and integrators, like the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance, who are committed to innovation and interoperability.
