AT&T VoIP Innovation and Interoperability Program
AT&T is currently working with a number of application developers, equiment manufacturers, and chip providers to deliver new capabilities to the VoIP market. The name of the program is the VoIP Innovation and Interoperability Program.
According to NewsFactor Network:
In the long run, AT&T hopes to spur the development of VoIP-enabled devices ranging from chipsets and telephone adapters to telephones, game consoles, set-top boxes, routers and modems.
Participating companies have been working with AT&T to certify their products as being AT&T VoIP-service compatible. They include chip makers Broadcom, Centillium, Intel and Texas Instruments; equipment manufacturers D-Link, Linksys, and Netgear; and PBX vendors Alcatel, Avaya, Cisco, Nortel Networks, Siemens and Sonus Networks.
As the number of VoIP deployments rises, interoperability becomes more of an issue to service providers like AT&T, especially for their enterprise customers, Yankee Group senior analyst Danny Klein told NewsFactor.
