GIPS and Skype Extend VoIP Partnership

By Johanne Torres
TMCnet Contributing Editor

Voice processing technology provider Global IP Sound (GIPS) announced on Monday that it extended its partnership with Skype to enable hardware manufacturers to offer Skype (News - Alert)-compatible IP phones.
 
The new hardware systems will use GIPS' Voice Engine Embedded. Skype has licensed GIPS products in the past including VoiceEngine PC in the summer of 2003.
 
"Skype has clearly revolutionized global personal communications with its offering," said GIPS' president and CEO Gary Hermansen in a statement. "This latest step in our relationship helps to solidify this growing market by expanding the options for Skype-enabled hardware devices and the ability for consumers to have a consistent, high-quality user experience regardless of platform."
 
Today's news follows Skype's new release of its communications software for Mac, the Skype for Mac OS X 1.5.

Currently in beta testing, the new version is now available in nine languages including French, German and Spanish. Skype for Mac OS X 1.5's new features include an improved contact list, calls in windows and chat drawer; a simpler contacts search function; and an "Easy Dialer" for straightforward calling to landlines and mobile phones at lower prices.
