Global IP Solutions (Oslo Stock Exchange: GIPS) is a United States-based corporation that develops real-time voice and video processing software for IP networks.[1] The company (also known as GIPS) delivers embedded solutions that enable real-time communications capabilities for video and Voice over IP (VoIP). GIPS is perhaps best known for developing the industry standard iLBC speech codec[2], and the de-facto standard HD/ wideband voice codec, iSAC.[3]
GIPS software is generally delivered as “engines” that package together voice and video processing components into optimized frameworks for smoother integration and better performance.[4] GIPS’ customers are primarily service providers, application developers, and manufacturers of IP phones, gateways or voice and video conferencing systems.[5]
History[edit]
The company (formerly known as Global IP Sound) was founded in July 1999 in Stockholm, Sweden by signal processing experts Roar Hagen (now GIPS’ CTO) [6] and Bastiaan Kleijn (now GIPS’ Chief Scientist), among others. The founders recognized that, at the time, most VoIP solutions were using existing technology developed for circuit switched networks, and were therefore not properly suited to handle the delay, jitter and packet loss presented by IP networks. It was with that premise in mind that the company began to develop and market technology specifically designed to mitigate the inherent challenges of VoIP.
