In this paper, we presented Intel's Seamless Collaboration Architecture for VoIP on WLANs. We described our QoS architecture for VoIP that enables softphone applications to take advantage of QoS features on the Intel^® Centrino^® mobile technology notebook over WLANs. We also described other hardware/software solution ingredients, such as array microphones, IPPs, and the Bluetooth* wireless coexistence solution, all of which make Intel Centrino mobile technology notebooks provide a best-in-class experience for VoIP over WLANs.

In addition to VoIP, collaboration usages that involve simultaneous audio, video, and data conferencing are becoming common in enterprises. Our future work is directed at extending this architecture to support multimedia collaboration applications. This includes hardware and software solutions for video peripherals like embedded cameras and remote handheld devices. Other usage models like multiparty ad hoc conferencing and IPP extensions for video conferencing are also part of this effort.
