Xten Softphone SDK Delivers PC-to-PC VoIP in New Yahoo! Messenger
eyeBeam SDK Licensed to Enhance PC-to-PC VoIP in Instant Messaging
SANTA CLARA, CA, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Xten Networks,
Inc. (OTCBB: XNWK), a provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol), Video over IP, Instant Messaging (IM), and Presence SIP
softphones, announced today that Yahoo!, a leading global Internet
company, has licensed Xten's eyeBeam software development kit (SDK)
to deliver SIP-based PC-to-PC VoIP in the new Yahoo!(R) Messenger
Beta (http://messenger.yahoo.com/). "We are extremely pleased that
Yahoo! chose Xten for this project," commented Erik Lagerway, COO
and President for Xten. "The excellent call quality with Yahoo!
Messenger's PC-to-PC calling feature is a direct result of the
combined efforts of our engineering teams." "Providing a
high-quality instant messaging service is our number one priority,
which is why we choose to work with Xten Networks, the
best-of-breed standards-based voice engine provider, to ensure our
users have an exceptional PC-to-PC calling experience," stated
Frazier Miller, director of Yahoo! Messenger. Xten's softphones for
Windows, MAC OS X, Pocket PC and now Linux are software
applications, which run on devices such as personal computers (PCs)
or personal digital assistants (PDAs) or can be integrated into
set-top boxes, embedded devices, instant messenger applications and
alike. When an Xten softphone is connected to a service provider's
network, the user can make and receive calls to and from other
"on-net" callers (IP-to-IP) and/or "off-net" callers
(IP-to-PSTN/Cellular) with the same quality of service they would
expect from an IP handset. However, at a fraction of the cost,
while providing more features and functionality than an IP handset.
