A lot of people are wondering why Skype isn’t here at VoiceCon Orlando. Skype was the company that catapulted VoIP to the spotlight the technology enjoys now. When a company can make grandma want to use a computer to video chat with her grandchild, or have a news agency use its software to break news, then you know it deserves a booth at a conference about communications technologies.
Well, Skype isn’t here but that doesn’t mean they’re sitting idle. Two major announcements came out on Monday regarding Skype for SIP certification with AudioCodes equipment and Grandstream IP PBX and gateways.
This is not your grandma’s Skype anymore. Skype wants to become a serious contender in the market for IP-enabled enterprise communications.
