Intel inside VoIP

VoIP refers to Voice over Internet Protocol, which basically takes a voice signal and puts it into packets much the same way that data gets packetized before it is sent over the network. But it's done in a way that the network recognizes that it's a voice session, which affects how the call is set up and managed through the network.

Intel is working to improve the conference calling capabilities of VoIP solutions. In a multi-tasking world, you might be hosting a conference call as well as sharing data or doing another application, and the performance demands on your platform begin to get fairly high.

A key barrier to widespread VoIP deployment has been lack of standards and interoperability. Intel is working with the industry to drive standards and rich interoperability to accelerate VoIP adoption.
