The app market is bloating to gigantic proportions, with almost no day passing without an addition to the app stores. Bit6, which is already powering top mobile apps, is nurturing this trend by offering app developers a communications platform that they can use to add voice and multimedia features into mobile and Web apps.
With the market for communications-enabled apps gaining momentum, Bit6 is right at the forefront offering select developers, early access to the Bit6 platform. The platform is reportedly revolutionizing how developers integrate communications into their apps and the strong positive response all around must indeed be heartening for the company.
The Bit6 platform leverages the proven real-time cloud-based communications platform on which Voxofon's apps for iOS, Android (News - Alert), Windows and Blackberry were developed. It provides a suite of essential application services that help integrate the communication capabilities into a complete end-user experience.
"We are excited by the enthusiastic response from developers to our beta program. The use cases that these developers are proposing illustrate perfectly how integrating communications into apps can be game changing," said Alexey Goloshubin (News - Alert), CEO and CTO of Bit6.
The platform is expected to enable developers to quickly and easily add voice/video calling, texting and multimedia messaging and other features into their mobile and Web applications. Its iOS SDK, which is expected to come out shortly, will give beta participants the power to integrate app-to-app messaging as well as picture, video, location and voice memo sharing as a feature into their apps. The public launch of its communications platform by mid-summer.
That the Telecom Council has selected Bit6 to present at its ‘Service Provider Innovation Forum’ in May is another feather in Bit6’s cap.
The company is excited about the tremendous potential of its communications platform in the logistics, healthcare and other vertical industries, and is all agog at commencing to work alongside developers.
"For instance, apps for logistics companies can enable voice or messaging between driver and customer, and healthcare providers can use voice/video calling to gather information and consult with patients," observed Goloshubin.
With the real-time communication market set to march at a rapid pace, mobile developers will have their hands full integrating communications into their apps. So Bit6 does appear to be careening along a rather successful road.
