Pascal Dore will is was our guest Friday, to discuss Media5 Corp and their products, among them, the Media5-fone.
For the iPhone platform, a SIP client is a handy thing to have. We discovered Media5-fone in the perenial search for SIP clients that can connect us to ZipDX.com, the VUC wideband server. It happens that OnSIP.com and Sipgate.com also do g722, so we’re always happy to see a new addition. There is currently an iPhone (iPod/iPad) version and a Symbian S-60 version.
Media5 was eager to accept our help in testing the g722 app, and I’m happy to say it works well. The newest version with the features we’re testing now should be out in a week or two. I hope to use the app from China (but who knows how that wiill work out?)

Exciting Times for Wideband SIP Clients
Posted by Zeeek/Randulo in VoIP
Yep, three of them, count ‘em, three SIP xcleints should be g722 capable soon for the Mac (and linux and windows).
I have been testing (and/or talking to the authors of) these:
Blink (Mac OS X only, )
Zoiper (SIP/IAX Linux, Mac, Win)
Telephone (Mac OS X only)
They all use pjsip which caused some distortion problems at first. This thread in the Asterisk-dev mailing list sheds some light on the issues to change.
Astricon Wrap Up

Heroic efforts were required to produce this live call and edit it, and it will take patience and strong will to listen to it because of the noise and levels. We post it here because a lot of interesting things were said by participants (in random order) Tim Panton, Darrick Hartmann, Barry Kline, Philippe Lindheimer, Fred Posner, Zoa, David Duffet and whoever else wandered in.

All in all, Digium did a great job in organizing the event with compelling content, fun, good food, and a space where people with our shared interests can gather and basically bother Allison Smith for three whole days.

We referred a lot to the HD Connect Now site.
This week, Doug Mohney joins us. Doug has clocked more than 20 years of experience in the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) arena between working in real world businesses and writing about them.
His resume includes Editor in Chief, Telecom and Digital Media Group for a B2B emedia company and Editor-in-Chief at VON Magazine (the pulvermedia incarnation, not the Virgo one). Publications he’s written for over the past dozen years include Boardwatch, Mobile Radio Technology/Urgent Communications, The Inquirer, and VON Magazine, covering telecommunications, the Internet, and online video.
His hands-on/real-world experience includes stints at two high-tech start-up companies, one that went public (DIGEX) and one that didn’t (SkyCache/Cidera). Joining DIGEX as employee number 10 in 1993, Doug had a ring-side seat to the trials and tribulations of a fast growing, VC-funded startup doing the boom growth years of the Internet.
