Blabbelon Releases Browser-Based VoIP Chat Tool Using Skype's SILK Audio Codec

Nov 07, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Blabbelon said it has developed the first browser-based VoIP chat tool using Skype's SILK super wideband audio codec, as well as one of the first massively multi-user VoIP services.

Blabbelon provides a platform for a variety of users such as: gamers securely competing in team-based quests; businesses running 7,000 person global conference calls; or grandparents taunting grandkids over a game of Facebook Scrabble.

An HD-quality, push-to-talk VoIP chat service, Blabbelon requires no software downloads or complicated sign-on procedures - users register once, click and talk. With Blabbelon, session leaders can use, create and maintain their own private or public groups through a number of features such as texting, e-mail notifications and privacy management. Users can run Blabbelon in their Web browser, while simultaneously using other online applications - with no impact on their overall network performance, since Skype's SILK codec was designed to use approximately 50 percent less network bandwidth than previously required, while delivering improved richness in audio quality.



"Blabbelon is breaking from the trend of using VoIP as a way to simply provide 'cheaper minutes.' We've created a value-added service that sets a precedent for VoIP to move into areas beyond pure telephony applications and have solved the problem of how to massively scale to include thousands of simultaneous users while still keeping a negligible cost per user," said Dean Elwood, chief technology strategist, Blabbelon.

Unlike other voice chat services that max out at 300 users, Blabbelon sessions can scale up to more than 7,000 simultaneous users, while still maintaining a low cost business model and offering a portal-style entry. Blabbelon is ideal for a variety of consumer and business applications, such as e-commerce, online auctions and sales meetings/seminars.
