About
Ekiga (formerly known as GnomeMeeting) is an open source SoftPhone, Video Conferencing and Instant Messenger application over the Internet. It supports HD sound quality and video up to DVD size and quality. Because it uses both of the major telephony standards (SIP and H.323), it is interoperable with many service providers and many types of hardware and software. Ekiga was first released back in 2001 under the GnomeMeeting name, as a graduation thesis. In 2001, voice over IP, IP Telephony, and videoconferencing were not widespread technologies as they are now. The GNU/Linux desktop was at its infancy, and let's not speak about multimedia capabilities. Most webcam drivers were buggy, ALSA had not been released yet and full-duplex audio was something difficult to achieve. General performance could also be an issue, especially when most efficient codecs were closed source. Generally speaking, the technology was not ready yet but Ekiga was already kicking!

About
Siperb pairs a modern WebRTC softphone (Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) with a hosted WebRTC-to-SIP proxy, so teams on Asterisk or FreeSWITCH get browser and mobile calling without replacing their existing PBX. Features include call recording (audio & video), blind/attended transfer, 3-way conferencing, and end-to-end encrypted media. The client UI is open source (AGPL-3.0); the hosted proxy and mobile apps are proprietary. Free Personal tier; Business (£2/user/month) and Business Pro (£5/user/month) add storage, custom integrations, and upcoming AI features.
