A new web-based communication service which integrates browser based SIP telephony and Jabber IM services, Indafon is a combination of a flash phone application connected to a jabber server to achieve a complex service integrating telephony, instant messaging, text message sending, and contact management which works in your browser.
What is Indafon?
Indafon is a web based communication service enhanced with contact management capabilities.
You can use it for phone calls, instant messaging, SMS sending and several other functions.
Indafon users can call one another free of charge, and may buy credits via PayPal to make cheap phone calls into other networks worldwide.
Indafon is compatible with MS Windows, Mac OS X, and even Unix based systems depending on Flash availability, and runs on all major browsers.
Indafon users may also chat with each other, or even with users from other jabber based IM systems like Google Talk.
The company is also working on the integration of MSN, ICQ, AOL/AIM, etc.
Indafon Technology
At the core of Indafon there are two proprietary clusterable server implementations written in C/C++:
- a flash media server, connected to other telephone networks through a softswitch
- and a clusterable application server with Jabber protocol, as well as IM, and contact management support.
Indafon has written its own application server to be able to provide a highly manageable and scalable server working in cluster.
Following registration, each Indafon user will have a Jabber ID which will also be their SIP identifier.
This JID can be used in any jabber system with the password set on the website. (SIP password will be released and as planned match the jabber password after the beta phase!)
Indafon phone calls to other networks are also possible using your already existing SIP subscriptions – such as Vonage, VoIP Cheap, etc. – (these can be configured on the settings panel), but buying Indafon credits through PayPal is also a matter of seconds.
Indafon is also a jabber based IM service, compatible with all similar systems, like Google Talk.
During the test period, the company will, step-by-step, enable the gateways to other services, like MSN, AOL/AIM, ICQ as well.
The Indafon jabber ID and password can be used in other web based or desktop jabber clients.
Besides developing indafon.com they intend to connect Indafon with other services, even on white label terms in the future.
The technology behind Indafon can flexibly be adjusted to complement webmail, social networking, and dating solutions, or any other online content.
The technology can be used to enhance such websites with chat or telephony functions, or a combination of these in various ways, using the given service provider’s own user base, being tailored to their needs in shape and size, as well as graphical appearance.
The functions can be built into smaller user interfaces or, similarly to indafon.com, can appear as full-screen applications.
