There was some confusion over how to use the REMWAVE light phone for video conferencing and screen sharing. One has to use the complete REMWAVE setup or a public video server like nikotels. Since today we offer a complete Linux video and collaboration proxy for download. In order to test the phone you need:

Asterisk or SIP enabled PBX like sipx or SER with other gateways (SIP!!! Not IAX - not yet;-))
REMWAVEs video and collaboration proxy
XMPP server like wildfire, jabberd or a public one like nikotels

These were the words one of our customers mailed me. At first I did not realized what he was talking about, given the fact that our REMWAVE communicator (soft phone) is designed to be integrated into the REMWAVE infrastructure. But yet of course it works with the built in SIP capabilities of Asterisk, the very successful open source phone system for SMBs. Obviously a faire share of our downloads of the free light edition have been for use with Asterisk. If using the trial edition of the REMWAVE ITSP solution you can even use the sophisticated screen sharing, video conferencing or instant messaging. To make it even easier you can sign up for a free account with nikotel and connect the SIP side to your Asterisk system and the IM & collaboration to nikotel. A lot of people have just done the latter. To make it even easier for you we decided to offer ...

This morning I woke up to awesome news. Our great soft phone has gotten even better. Our developers in Europe had finished some tune ups increasing pushing the envelope of our superior quality video features even further (see below).
A while ago we introduced a new soft phone (after having released lots of soft phone for our customers in the past( like buddyphone, Nikotel, mac2phone, win2phone and others). We very fast renamed it to “communicator” since “phone” does not really even scratch the surface of what this software has to offer. So why do I and fortunately our customers think it’s so great?
The REMWAVE communicator offers phone calls from your PC to regular phones, it offers free calling to other PCs and up to 4 people in a conference. It has the by far best phone book features in the market (check it out!) and the navigation t ...

This week has been very busy. While we were working on some incredible features which we will introduce in our communicator pretty soon we brought a new voice over IP company up and running. The CEO contacted us less than two weeks ago after he had experienced a very common path of how people approach the set up a VoIP business. You download Asterisk (this really cool business PBX) and maybe SER or openSER. This gives you two pretty nice pieces of infrastructure. So and what is next? You need of course a website to have customers sign up and to give them the possibility to see their online itemized bills or provision new phones etc. Since he wanted to serve retail customers a prepaid functionality was plann ...

The soft phone features high quality screen sharing, video conferencing, SIP based audio calls and XMPP instant messaging. The collaboration features are based on a new video codec REMWAVE has developed over the last years with strong emphasis on usage over broadband connections such as cable, dsl and or EVDO. The technology features an embedded new technology which will always prioritize voice over video. If the bandwitdh goes down the video stream will be send in less frames but the voice will be transfered in full quality. It also features regular call features such as 4-way calling, on hold, forwarding and many more.

The new instant access mode brings up a contact search box after clicking the ALT key twice. The addresses can then be used to place calls, send emails, start video chats or to start other ways of communication.

The software is the ideal solution for carriers who want to give their users a bleeding edge but yet simple to use commu ...
