Do you aware of Linphone?

Linphone, also known as Linux phone, is a softphone or internet phone used for making free calls over the internet. It allows us to communicate freely with voice, video, and text messaging over the internet. Linphone is officially developed by the European Company called Belledonne Communications based in France.

What Platforms does Linphone Support?

Originally the intention of the Linphone development was for the Linux operating system, but as technology is emerging and Linphone started getting popularity day to day, Linphone development expanded its radar and has become compatible with big operating systems like Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

Don’t you think I missed something? Yes! Of course, the Linphone itself emerged with an intention of growing mobile connectivity as easy to use technology for making calls.

With time people’s interests shifted from the computer to the mobile environment, the top computer operating system solution providers started developing the mobile operating systems. Similarly, real-time voice and video technology providers have begun focusing on developing a platform to meet the demands of transitioning from smart computers to smart mobile phones.

The Linphone mobile app development came behind the show with Network address translator (NAT) to give a presence, support to the telephony i.e., the Internet telephony service provider (ITSP), which provides the capability to run the mobile video and audio transport as a console-mode application in between.

Does Linphone support the Android Dialer Apps development?

As of now the Linphone teams working with a core heart and support to run the Linphone Android app environment. Up to now, the Google releases various versions of Android operating system whereas Linphone team did customization to the code to support all the operating system versions like Oreo, Nought, Marshmallow, Lollipop, KitKat, Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Honeycomb. i.e., 3.2.5 to 8.1

Currently, the Linphone team is working for the next beta update of the Android newer version Android P to support the latest features.

Does Linphone support the iOS Dialer Apps development?

Linphone supports continues with all the possible apples operating system version for the Linphone iOS applications from 8.0 to 12.0.0 currently with a clear documentary to help developers while customizing the Linphone applications.

Is Linphone licensed?

Yes, Linphone comes as a widely used free software license named as the GNU – General Public License (GNU GPL or GPL), which guarantee the end users the freedom to study, run, share, and customize the software as per the requirement.

What are the best suits available for Linphone?

As we all aware of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which deals with the long-anticipated crisis of IPv4 address exhaustion, Linphone rolled out with an updated support by IPV6 Protocol (Internet Protocol version 6) provided with hierarchical address allocation methods, brilliant multicast  addressing up to 4.3 billion, device mobility, security, configuration optimization for the delivery of services and more. On the other hand, several IPv6 evolution mechanisms have been devised to allow communication among IPv4 and IPv6 hosts.

You must also need to notice the following!!

Linphone capable of writing programs without the GUI can be developed, using such command-line tools and the consoles for servers.

• • The C programming language officially writes an object-oriented widget toolkit known as GTK (GIMP Toolkit). It comprises a set of graphical control elements (widgets) used to create the graphical user interface, making it a cross-platform widget toolkit. The stunning key point is here, where we can work through HTML5 at back-end called as Broadway.

• GtkBuilder – interface allow us to load at runtime and the object created automatically where the code is described in Extensible Markup Language (XML) file.
• Wayland protocol for a computer – it specifies a communication among the display server (called as Wayland compositor). The aspiration of replacing X- Window System with simpler, modern, windowing scheme in the Linux and further Unix-like OS.
• The x11 – X Window System core protocol, is a networked windowing scheme/system for the bitmap displays, used to build the graphical user interfaces on a Unix, Unix-like, and other Operating Systems. It has four kinds of packets to send asynchronously, over the network.

1. Requests,
2. Replies,
3. Events, and
4. Errors.

• The display server, an essential component of any windowing system, communicates with clients to facilitate communication over a communication protocol. Usually, call as the display server protocol.
• The Linphone accomplished to provide cross-platform application framework, i.e, for developing application software that can be able to run on different software and hardware platforms with small or no alternation in the original codebase. The beauty will be a native application with native capabilities including the speed.

We all are aware of the real-time transportation of audio and video over the IP network is an elite property to entertain the linphone. Under the RTP “Real-time Transport Protocol” Linphone deliver extensive communication that involves in the streaming media, such as telephony, teleconference video applications, television service and the features such as web-based push-to-talk.

RTP, used in conjunction with RTCP, forms the foundation of Voice over IP (VoIP) and is often paired with signaling protocols like SIP to establish network connections.

RTP allow data to transport to multiple destinations through IP multicast. It is regarded as the primary standard for audio/video transports in the IP networks.

As on move, a cryptographic key agreement protocol made-up to confer the keys for encryption among two endpoints. ZRTP, composed of Z – Real-time Transport Protocol, provides an additional layer of authentication against Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks through a key continuity mechanism.

All through the ZRTP intention is to configure the key for encryption between two endpoints, to provide a Real-time Transport to the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone call based telephony services. i.e, by using Diffie–Hellman key exchange & the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) for the encryption, where the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) communication protocol runs the communications security for the datagram protocols. DTLS lets datagram-based applications to connect in a way that it is designed to prevent interfering, snooping, or message phony.

What are the Contents Used by the Linphone?

In the Linphone medium, the major vogue is to carry the digital data stream of encoded audio and video to provide the below functional abilities to the users.

• Make audio & video calls in High Definition
• Send prompt messages
• Share pictures and files
• Record and Save Record of calls
• Do audio conferences

On the check, we can observe that Audio and Video will be the most powerful feature of Linphone. In the development of Linphone application, we use the following technologies to give 100% effectiveness to the Linphone customization services.

What is Audio Codec?

The audio codec is a computer program of application to implement an algorithm that encodes and decode digital audio data with respect to the given streaming media/audio file in audio coding format.

This audio codec can efficiently reduce the storage space and bandwidth essential for transmission of the stored audio file. Mostly the codecs are executed as per the libraries and server configuration of supportive players.

Top 3 + 1 Best Audio Codec available for VOIP communication?

Lihphone basically super support 4 type of audio codecs as per the Linphone customization point of view. The major key point in the codec execution and codec selection involves in the algorithm, bandwidth, Scalable nature, bit-rate compressions and the quality over the VOIP.

Check out a few audio codec here!!

• G.729 Audio codec:

G.729 is an audio data compression algorithm for the voice that compresses digital voice in packets of 10 milliseconds extent. It is formally termed as Coding of Speech at 8 kbit/s using code-excited linear prediction speech coding (CS-ACELP).

G.729 provides support to the VoIP (IP telephony) including the IP phones, softphones, other VoIP handsets, IP PBXs, call center equipment, media servers/gateways, test equipment, voice recording equipment, and audio/video conferencing for enterprise business networks or for the corpus market (like PSTN emulation above xDSL or wireless access) and the voice messaging servers.

Note: G.729 is a purchasable Audio codec.

• G722 Audio codec:

G.722 is 7 kHz Wideband audio codec with ITU-T standard operating at 48, 56 & 64 kbit/s. The next version of G.722, known as SIREN 7, defines a digital wideband coder algorithm providing audio bandwidth from 50 Hz to 7 kHz, operating at bit rates of 24 kbps or 32 kbps. The most recent codec, G.722.2 or Adaptive Multirate Wideband (“AMR-WB”), offers lower bit-rate compressions (6.6 kbit/s to 23.85 kbit/s) with the ability to adapt quickly to changing network conditions. This ensures bandwidth preservation during network congestion, restoring higher-quality bit rates when congestion levels normalize.

• G.711 PCMU Audio codec

G.711 is also called as PCMU audio codec. The formal name is Pulse code modulation (PCM) of voice frequencies. This codec utilizes a commonly used waveform and is primarily employed in telephony.

G.711 is the narrowband audio codec that offers toll-quality audio at 64 kbit/s. G.711 passes the audio signals in the range of 300–3400 Hz and trials them at the rate of 8,000 samples/sec, with the tolerance on the rate of Fifty parts per million (ppm). Non-uniform (logarithmic) quantization with 8 bits represents each of the samples, resulting in a bit rate of 64 kbit/s.

• G.711 PCMA Audio codec

This is an extension of PCM using G.711 with an algorithm is a normal companding algorithm, used in European 8-bit PCM digital infrastructures systems to optimize, i.e., adjust, the dynamic range of the analog signal for digitizing. It is one of two dissimilar versions of the G.711 – standard from ITU-T, the other version actuality the similar µ-law, used in North America and Japan.

Top 2 Video Codec available for Linphone?

Video codec is a software or electronic circuit that compresses/ decompresses digital video. Codec converts uncompressed (raw) digital video to the compressed format or vice versa.

In the context of video compression, a “codec” combines an “encoder” and a “decoder.” In traditional terminology, we refer to the device responsible for compression as an encoder, while the one responsible for decompression is called a decoder.

• H.264 Video Codec:

Since 2014, MPEG-4 Part 10 or H.264, also recognized as Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC), has been widely utilized for compressing, recording, and distributing video content.

The ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) established H.264 in partnership with the ISO/IEC JTC1 Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), forming the Joint Video Team (JVT).

The best one of this video encoding standards are for Blu-ray Discs; all Blu-ray Disc players need be able to decode H.264. Streaming internet sources widely use this, including videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and the iTunes Store. Even the web software like the Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player and also numerous HDTV broadcasts over the globe (Advanced Television Systems Committee standards, DVB-T or DVB-T2, ISDB-T), cable (DVB-C), and satellite (DVB-S and DVB-S2).

Note: G.729 is a purchasable Video codec.

• VP8 Video Codec:

 VP8 is the open and free video compression format owned by the Google and created by the On2 Technologies as successor to VP7.

The most interesting support from the Google over the VP8 is the following browsers Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Chromium supports playing VP8 videos in HTML5 video tags. Internet Explorer also officially supports VP8 with the separate codec. Google mainly uses VP8 in connection with WebRTC and as formats for short looped animations, serving as a replacement for the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).

What are the Best suite of Audio and Video Codec for Linhpone – VoIP?

Based on our experience with Linphone, clients typically prefer purchasable audio and video codecs like G.729 for audio and H.264 for video, expecting responsive technical support.

In 2018 up to a Q3 Finacial year, we have heard more than 100+ requirements to develop the Tunneling Concept for Linphone – VOIP Dailir App for the VOIP communication blocked countries. So we would like to tell you a few points about Linphone Tunneling.

The puzzle of Linphone Tunneling: 

Tunneling involves transferring digital data from one network to the addressed destination over the internet, allowing private network communications across the public network, such as the Internet, through encapsulation.

The encapsulation process permits for data packets to seem as from public network to a public network when they are on private data packets, which permits them with the unnoticed way to the public on the network.

In fact, research says the IP Tunneling concept is no more going to be work securely on the go.\
