Microsoft and Cisco Team Up to Support VoIP

12:20 am on November 13, 2005 | Category: Business, VoIP

In an effort to make VoIP more accessible to the average user, Cisco and Microsoft have announced that they will be supporting the methodology of Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE), which allows for better communication between networks.

Some markets have seen the adoption of VoIP slowing down due to difficulties faced by certain users trying to communicate through firewalls and across network address translators. Microsoft has now teamed up with Cisco to try and solve some of these problems.

One step that has already been taken by Microsoft to promote IP telephony is the integration of VoIP capability with the Windows CE mobile operating system for mobile devices. Many are expecting that VoIP will also play a greater in the upcoming Windows Vista OS, which will be released next year.

The ICE methodology supports SIP-based VoIP interoperability across networks, and was initially introduced by the Internet Engineering Taskforce, a worldwide community that aims to keep the web running smoothly.
