About RADVISION's IP Phone Toolkit
A complete IP phone solution is achieved by integrating the RADVISION IP Phone Toolkit with DSP Services (voice compression/decompression, echo cancellation, VAD, etc) and Telephony Hardware Services (hook state, key state, handset, etc), both of which would be provided by the developer or a third-party. RADVISION has designed its IP Phone Toolkit to be easily portable across a variety of IP Phone chipsets. Additionally, RADVISION has also worked closely with leading silicon vendors to help provide pre-integrated solutions for their chipset services.
Applications written with the RADVISION IP Phone Toolkit are insulated from the underlying protocols and call/media control mechanisms. As such, developers can use the RADVISION IP Phone Toolkit to create products for SIP, H.323, and Megaco/H.248 networks using the same application.
RADVISION's advanced IP Phone Toolkit provides:
support for a wide range of System-On-Chip (SoC), media processing and board-level designs;
complete IP Phone functionality including basic dial services, caller ID, call hold, and advanced services such as transfer and conference;
proven, standards-based VoIP call and media control for various voice over IP standards, including H.323, SIP, and Megaco/H.248;
customizable Man-Machine Interfaces to allow phone vendors' developers and designers to precisely define their own look and feel;
support for analog lines empowering residential gateway solutions that support IP telephony using existing phones; and
support for a wide range of industry standard embedded and native general-purpose operating systems.
