Avaya says it is working with Intel to enhance the quality of IP voice
over wireless networks by optimising its Avaya SIP-based softphone for
laptop PCs based on the Intel Centrino chipset. The companies will also
collaborate to improve the integration, control and functionality of
Bluetooth devices used in conjunction with the softphone.
The Avaya Softphone will be optimised for the next generation of Intel
Centrino mobile technology (code-named Napa), incorporating packet
prioritisation, bandwidth reservation and call admission control. The
two companies say that, while it is widely understood that voice must
be given priority over a data network, they are working to extend that
concept to laptop PCs.
