May 2010, Google made its Global IP Solutions for 68 million dollars. June 2011, Google acquired the technology makes it open source and is preparing to make it usable through specific APIs. And this is a crucial step, because it is the turning point that opens to the birth of the true anti-Skype VoIP communication between Web applications arrives , forget the client software and Google is in the navel of their own development.
The stated goal is to bring capacity in Chrome Real-Time Communications (RTC) via simple API that any developer can go to use . JavaScript and HTML 5 to be a part of the other, the project will be supported by enough to Google that Mozilla and Opera to create a new service which is conveyed by the usher browser with an alternative network to Skype and can serve as a counterpoint to Microsoft projects in the field.
Two codecs used in open framework for audio transmission: ISAC for broadband connections, and iLBC for connections are under-performing; one hand, the codec used for video transmission: VP8 , a project made in Google already widely discussed in the past months due to problems of quality and intellectual property .
Skype has also used the Global IP technologies to the fourth version of the client, but later chose his own way by leveraging the solution SILK (Super Wideband Audio Coded). After Google acquired the group and its codecs and began to develop WebRTC it now intends to bring to your browser. The consequences are primarily intended to reverberate in Gmail, whose skills could be spread quickly to video. Besides Gmail, however, there is more: the API will make the system available to developers, who can then use the code to create new ideas.
At the moment not yet been provided details of the implementation time of new technology but Google promises to lead to want of Chrome (WebKit using) in a short time . Forcing, however, even Skype to a similar move in response to the threat coming. It does not mean that Skype can not have to have proper weapons to protect their empire when WebRTC represent a serious threat to the network now owned by Microsoft.
