Yate is a next-generation telephony engine. While currently focused on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and PSTN, its power lies in its ability to be easily extended. Voice, video, data and instant messaging can all be unified under Yate's flexible routing engine, maximizing communications efficiency and minimizing infrastructure costs for businesses. “Most commercial IVR applications such as call centers are Windows-based.

This open source initiative will free developers from reliance on hard-to- use, proprietary solutions based on expensive hardware,” says Sangoma Technologies President and CEO David Mandelstam. “Recognizing the inherent strengths of the Yate model, we have offered our technical and financial assistance to offer this project to the large market that is dominated by Windows.

We expect to take a leadership role as we support the project for the developer community.” “Yate plus Sangoma are a natural fit which allow integrators to build inexpensive, robust and flexible applications for telephony on the Windows platform,” adds Diana Cionoiu, Null Team CEO.

“Since Yate supports widely-used VoIP protocols like H.323 and SIP, integrators can build IP call centers, IVRs or any other telephony applications using technologies available under Windows platform. Yate can be used with the new YateClient 1 and Mozilla Firefox embedded browser that allows integration with various databases.”
