VoLTE doesn’t just mean Voice over LTE. It also means Video over LTE. IMS/LTE includes support for IR.94 which describes how to make conversational video calls over LTE. Video has been possible over 3G networks. However, monetization of video calls has proven elusive and companies that catered...

I’m a telephony guy at heart but with the WebRTC revolution, the line that once clearly divided web versus telephony programmers is quickly vanishing. The acronyms I often referenced like ACD, ISDN and PBX seem to be obsolete and replaced with new, hip acronyms like MEAN.io, LAMP and WYSIWYG. The...

When I talk to customers, they often ask about how WebRTC compares to voice over LTE (VoLTE), and which technology “will win.” Those who believe that there has to be a concrete winner and loser in this debate say so because WebRTC is over-the-top content (OTT),while VoLTE is carrier supported...

WebRTC is not just for call centers anymore. From telemedicine to stock trading in the U.K. to dance education, WebRTC is poised to impact a wide range of industries. Dialogic’s president and CEO Kevin Cook discussed these real-world situations during his keynote address at the WebRTC Expo in Atlanta...

Last week @chadwallacehart shared some javascript code that used the HTML5 drawImage() method to copy a <video> source to various canvas contexts which could then be manipulated. As a result, we are able to slice the external video source into four quadrants for display. The code was great so I...

Tsahi Levent-Levi’s white paper, “ Seven Reasons for WebRTC Server-Side Processing ,” details a variety of WebRTC-related scenarios that necessitate a media server. Last week, I wrote about reason number six: processing of the media stream . This week, I’ll discuss reason number...

A few weeks ago, I attended a new developer show in Madrid called TADHack . It’s a smaller event and very different from the average conference. As soon as I walked into the venue, I noticed this weird green hue, kind of like I was in the Wizard of Oz. It had the feel of a nightclub, which was...

57 percent of respondents to our WebRTC Impact Survey have WebRTC solutions already in development. Next week, Dialogic will head to Atlanta for the WebRTC Conference & Expo .

Last week, I introduced some cool goings on in the contact center , such as cloud, smartphones and video. This week, I’ll finish my thoughts about how the contact center will continue to morph. Integration of social media is also becoming more critical. If there’s outrage over a product...

Our sales engineer put together a great video showcasing how to build a basic video conferencing demo using java and PowerMedia XMS REST API.

When I started writing my blog about why the fax is still relevant a few weeks ago, it got me thinking about the contact center in general. I spend a lot of time talking about mobile networks and service provider-related things like signaling, but in my early years at Dialogic, I learned a lot about...

Almost everyone knows that telcos’ mobile voice and messaging revenue is declining. With 3G offering a mobile on-ramp to the Internet, OTT services have been proliferating on the data channel and carving out revenue in this area. Ever since that trend started, carriers have been trying to protect...

Did you know that more than a billion smartphones, tablets and PCs already support WebRTC , with that number projected to increase exponentially over the next two years? That increase creates both a vast opportunity for mobile revenue growth and new challenges related to managing the increase in video...

Mobile World Congress is buzzing along. It is a mass of mobile communications humanity, all crisply dressed and swiftly moving along like a flash flood in an Arizona wash through both the Barcelona subway system and the venue at the Fira. The 2014 Mobile World Congress theme is “Creating What’s...

Mobile World Congress is happening this week, and the excitement is palpable here at Dialogic—and not just because it gets us to Barcelona for four days. We’re looking forward to a jam-packed schedule of demos, meetings and speaking sessions, with a special eye out for information about hot...

There’s been a lot of talk recently in the United States about mobile price wars, such as Quartz’s and Reuters’ reports on T-Mobile’s aggressive move to win over customers from AT&T and Verizon. If the combined voice/data average revenue price per user (ARPU) is dropping everywhere...

Is it possible to use HMP41L to receive rtp packets containing 3g324M packets. and then use the 3g-324M API to extract the H.264 and resend it in a new RTP session. -Franck.

Hi, 1. Which build of HMP4.1 are you using? There was an issue with audio in a video conference in the Beta build that was resolved and available in the GA build. If this you are using the GA build, then I recommend that you open a Service Ticket to explore the audio issue further. From the active...

Hi John, One thing to check when using the MM Device is that the MM_xxx_ACK event returns before calling the next mm_Play, mm_Record or mm_Stop command. This may be a reason for no audio if you called the mm_Play(audio) and mm_Play(video) back to back without waiting for the MM_PLAY_ACK cmplt event...
