Description

Ekiga, which was originally called GnomeMeeting, is a free and open-source application that provides SoftPhone, video conferencing, and instant messaging capabilities via the Internet. It offers high-definition sound and video quality comparable to that of DVDs. Utilizing the two main telephony standards, SIP and H.323, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of service providers along with various hardware and software solutions. The application made its debut in 2001 under its former name as part of a graduation project. At that time, technologies like voice over IP, IP telephony, and videoconferencing were still emerging and not widely adopted, unlike today. The GNU/Linux desktop environment was still developing, and multimedia functionalities were very limited. Many webcam drivers had significant issues, ALSA was yet to be introduced, and achieving full-duplex audio posed challenges. Performance was often a concern, particularly due to the prevalence of proprietary codecs. Despite these technological hurdles, Ekiga emerged as a pioneering solution! Its early introduction laid the groundwork for advancements in communication tools that we often take for granted today.

Description

PortaDialer is a white-label WebRTC softphone built for VoIP providers, cloud PBX operators, and communication service providers looking to launch branded apps without in-house development. It delivers fully branded, cross-platform clients for iOS, Android, and browser access (Web App), removing the need to build standalone applications from the ground up. The solution plugs into any standard external SIP infrastructure and runs independently, with no dependency on other PortaOne products. Its feature set spans three areas: calling (HD voice and video, attended and blind transfers, call pull), messaging (in-app chat, group conversations, SMS), and account tools (voicemail access, presence status) — all available consistently across both mobile and web. PortaDialer ties this together in a single interface for mobile and web, with sign-in options covering OTP, passwords, and auto-login links.
