kvats.net is osAlliance 's softphone supported by A1 . It is Free Software and has been built in co-operation with the  WengoPhone and qutecom developer communities.  

 

If you want to join the development of the kvats softphone client you are welcome to contact us or subscribe our mailing list . Technical issues and feature proposals can be also discussed at our forum.

 

The kvats.net source code can be found in our mercurial repository. If you want to build kvats on your Linux system, follow the instructions in the technical forum (see also comments here and here).

 

We are continuosly working on improvements. Here is a list of open issues . We keep track of issues on a roundup tracker .

 

Logo - A1 InnovationDays

Our partner A1 has been awarding ideas for VoIP / SIP based applications and  invited the best for the A1InnovationDays event.

 

We strongly believe that IP-based communication will be even more dominant in a few years. The basis for all applications, whether it’s plain telephony or the fancy remote control of your fridge at home, is a direct, peer-to-peer IP connection. That’s exactly the essence of IMS, the IP Multimedia Subsystem. IMS is the standardized, vendor-, operator- and even network-independent technological platform to realize peer-to-peer communication. SIP, the Session Initiation Protocol is the communication protocol of choice in an IMS infrastructure. Therefore SIP is often called the “http” of IP-based communication.

More than 40 proposals showed their believe that they can build better applications with IMS or SIP.

The list of suggests areas included:

  1. Applications making use of transmitting different media streams like voice, video, text, data
  2. Applications that deal with client presence information (online, busy, mobile, PC)
  3. Multiplayer, multiplatform games
  4. Machine-2-machine applications
  5. Whatever you're excited about!
