UC Launch : Windows RTC Client API
UC = Unified Communication. Keep that in mind :).
Windows RTC Client API (that I will talk about in UC Launch) enables you to build applications that can make PC-PC, PC-phone, or phone-phone calls or create Instant Messaging (IM) sessions over the Internet. Both voice and video calls can be established on PC-PC calls. Presence information on a list of contacts is also supported. Application sharing and whiteboard can be added to enhance the communication capabilities of any type of session. Nice to have this great opportunity to introduce you this cool technology.
ISV can use the RTC API to build next generation applications that include real-time communication solutions for corporations. Huge opportunity in Indonesia for this type of application. Telco providers that want to sell RTC services can build their own client application with these APIs.
RTC Client API:
- Supports multiparty phone-phone calls
- Uses SIP-based signaling and presence communications
- Integrates with the Microsoft® Office RTC proxy and registrar server
- Supports provisioning with ITSPs or third-party corporate-deployed servers
- Integrates signals over IP and PSTN networks
We can use RTC SDK 1.2 / 1.3. But I prefer to show the latest 1.3.
Download Here :
Windows Real-Time Communications Client API SDK 1.3 I hope version 1.3 is ready for Vista and VS 2008 but let see, I will let you know also. I have downloaded RTC SDK and maybe I should show the interop by generating type library with MIDL and TLBIMP.
