Microsoft has announced a voice over IP (VoIP) solution for Windows CE .NET aiming to enable the integration of voice communications into a variety of IP-based client devices and services such as desktops and mobile phones. The new enhancements to Windows CE .NET include a sample Telephony User Interface (TUI), a VoIP Application Interface Layer (VAIL) and Enterprise Infrastructure Integration services. Microsoft also announced that several global original device and equipment manufacturers (ODMs and OEMs) are developing VoIP devices using Windows CE .NET. Manufacturers include BCM Computers, Casio, Hitachi, NEC Infrontia, Samsung Electronics, Symbol Technologies and Tatung.
The new enhancements will be included in version 4.2, the next release of Windows CE .NET, due in the second quarter of 2003, while Microsoft expects the first wave of Windows CE .NET-based VoIP devices is expected to be delivered to the marketplace by OEMs and ODMs during the second half of 2003.
