Droplet
Technology has acquired privately-held Sipcall. Christian Rees, Sipcall's President
and Founder, has joined Droplet as Director of Service Platforms. Financial details
of the deal were not announced.
In April 2008, Sipcall launched "Hipsip," a mobile data service that allows users
to make carrier-friendly VoIP calls worldwide from any mobile phone's web browser,
using only their local mobile calling plan. Droplet has already begun integration
of the Sipcall SIP infrastructure into Droplet's interactive mobile video service
platform.
In order to meet consumer and enterprise demand for higher quality interactive video
across a wider range of devices and networks, communication service providers worldwide
have made significant new investments in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network infrastructure.
SIP is the Internet-derived standard used for setting up IMS calls and multimedia
streaming sessions over IP networks. Working in close collaboration with leading mobile
operators, Droplet is the first company to combine state-of-the-art all-software Internet
video and voice technologies with an industry-standard IMS framework to enable interactive
mobile video services that can run on virtually any camera-enabled 2.5G or 3G handset,
as well as on any PC with a webcam.
