About the project

The goal of this project is to embed SIP functionality into web pages. The team developed two use cases:

(1) Staff SIP Connector: Imagine a heterogenous organisation, which has its staff members listed on an Intranet page. Staff SIP Connector adds to each person SIP related channels: presence, launch call, mood, send message

(2) Social Network SIP Connector: Member pages of social networks like Facebook or LinkedIN do not display phone numbers. Skype offers a CallMe button on Facebook, but a caller needs to run a Skype client in the background or have call forwarding, so he or she can be reached. Social Network SIP Connector offers a SIP widget as a Facebook application so that people who watch my page can see my presence, start a chat or call me.

Trials with the JavaApplet JainSIP failed (security restrictions, requires Java media framework, etc). Daniel has recommended also the WeSIP framework, at which we have not looked closer yet.

Here is the initial announcement of the Red5Phone, which we are using
