SolveForce, a globally recognized Ethernet & telecom consulting agency out of Texas, plans to take business communications in Dallas to the next level. The agency will roll out cutting edge telephony and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services over the coming months.

These services are enabled through the session initiation protocol (SIP), which is the basis for text, voice and multimedia sessions such as instant messaging, video and online gaming. One of the primary features of SIP is Name Translation and User Location, which ensures that a call reaches the other party no matter where they are located and that details of the nature of the call, also known as a session, are supported. Additionally, it must map the descriptive information to match with location information.

The wide variety of capabilities carried by SIP are not always supported by all parties in a call, and solving this issue is a task left up to Feature Negotiation. This allows the involved parties to agree on what features can be supported by each participant before connecting the call. For example, one party may not be able to communicate over video and the others should be aware of that before attempting to initiate a video conferencing session.

Furthermore, participants can change the call characteristics while it is happening, whether that involves adding or removing a certain feature. Regardless, SIP allows communication to flow seamlessly with its dynamic approach to multimedia features.

The same SIP mechanisms allow users to select the appropriate codec for communication between two devices, if they differ in hardware or software. This permits less-advanced devices to participate in a call as long as the correct codec has been selected. Call Participant Management allows a user in the call to manage what other parties are involved, whether that involves adding or subtracting a user, transferring them or placing them on hold.

The benefits of this advanced technology will soon be implemented by SolveForce in Dallas as the company works to expand its network throughout the state and country. VoIP is the way of the future and SolveForce is one of many companies that fully recognizes it.
