In a move aimed at making universal Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and integrated communications more accessible for more customers, Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. today announced their support for the emerging Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) methodology.
ICE, a standards-based methodology, allows information workers and businesses to more easily communicate in media-rich ways across network address translators (NATs), a significant barrier to VoIP and video connectivity. ICE provides a rich set of solutions for current NAT issues with media. Microsoft and Cisco are jointly supporting the ICE effort, demonstrating both companies’ strong commitment to developing standards-based communications solutions built on methodologies that can be broadly adopted and integrated.
