MeeGo - Ofono

As a follow up to the MeeGo article, I became interested in what VoIP applications would be incorporated into the MeeGo project. Also, I got more doubts regarding what SIP or other Stacks would be used for the development. Both Intel (Trillium and CCPU) and Nokia (http://sofia-sip.sourceforge.net) have SIP stacks and other VoIP protocols/applications.

This lead me to Ofono project - the open source telephony project. The aim of Ofono as its posted on its site states:

"oFono.org is a place to bring developers together around designing an infrastructure for building mobile telephony (GSM/UMTS) applications. oFono is licensed under GPLv2, and it includes a high-level D-Bus API for use by telephony applications of any license. oFono also includes a low-level plug-in API for integrating with open source as well as third party telephony stacks, cellular modems and storage back-ends"

Browsing through the documentation page gives a clear picture of the Ofono architecture. The Ofono architecture is based on contributions from developers of Intel and Nokia.

So, here it is, they will be using Telepathy-Sofia SIP stack for building MeeGo applications.

Telepathy-SofiaSIP: A SIP connection manager based around the Sofia-SIP library.

VOIP QA Job

Senior Quality Assurance Engineer
 Experience in testing complex communication or web-based systems
required
 Extensive knowledge of testing methodologies and tools
 Familiarity with VoIP and signaling (SIP/H.323)
 Experience with web technologies (WSDL, HTML, MySQL, PHP, Apache)
 Video and/or Video over IP an advantage
 CS, EE or equivalent degree with 5+ years of industry experience

Salary will be in the range of $80-$100K+, depending on experience.

My client, located near Saddle Brook, NJ,  is the only company providing a
software-based personal telepresence solution that extends from room systems
to desktops including laptops, Net books, and soon smart phones over
standard broadband Internet or 3G or 4G networks, with no proprietary
hardware.Their patented architecture eliminates the multipoint conferencing
unit ("MCU") from the core of the system delivering on the promise of
natural face-to-face communications.

One industry analyst remarked "We believe their approach to
videoconferencing could significantly alter the economics of the industry...
Furthermore, we think they have lower total cost of ownership as the
technology does not require dedicated networks and bandwidth, thus allowing
customers to build videoconferencing capabilities on top of their existing
infrastructure."
