Microsoft buys VoIP expertise

Business IT - Technology

Microsoft says it is to acquire media-streams.com AG, a 23 person Swiss software company that develops VIP based communications applications.

Microsoft says it plans to apply media-streams.com's technology, people and intellectual property to accelerate the delivery of its unified communications vision. "The technology media-streams.com has developed will help Microsoft deliver to customers an improved integrated VoIP experience based on the Microsoft Office Real-Time Collaboration platform, Microsoft Office Live Communications Server.

Other than that, Microsoft said very little about its plans, and nothing about media-streams.com, its history, technologies or products.

Media-streams.com's website (http://www.media-streams.com) is no more helpful. It claims the deal has already closed and this would seem to be the case because the site now contains no information other than the announcement of the acquisition, and a photograph of three smiling media-streams.com executives holding a large Microsoft logo.
