Eyeball Delivers Real-time Communications For Tablets

Eyeball Messenger and AnyFirewall SDKs enable video, voice, and instant messaging for popular tablet devices

2011-01-07

VANCOUVER, BC, January 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Eyeball Networks, a leading provider of software developer tools for real-time VoIP, video, and instant messaging solutions, today announced the update of its Eyeball Messenger Software Development Kit (SDK) to support tablet computers and mobile devices using Android, iOS, and Windows 7 operating systems. The updates to MessengerSDK enable tablet device makers, infrastructure vendors, and application developers to further enhance their software offerings using Eyeball's award winning Messenger soft client solutions for real-time voice, video, and IM communications. The MessengerSDK enhancements also follow Eyeball's previous updates to its popular AnyFirewall NAT traversal software, which enable PCs, tablets, and other devices to provide reliable communications through any firewall or NAT device.

The timing of Eyeball's announcement coincides with the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada January 6-9. Over a dozen new tablet devices are expected to be announced at CES from companies including Asus, LG, Motorola, MSI, NEC, and Viewsonic. These new devices are expected to build on the success of the Apple iPad, Dell Streak, and Samsung Galaxy Tab, and come in a range of form factors using ARM-based chips from Freescale, Marvell, Qualcomm, Samsung, and Texas Instruments.

Eyeball's MessengerSDK can be used to supplement any VoIP, video, or IM software bundled on the tablets, or to develop new applications that will improve on the tablet's capabilities. Most new tablet devices running on iOS, Android, or Windows 7 operating systems have the ability to support multitasking, high definition multimedia, and come with front-facing cameras and multi-touch display - all of which can be utilized by Eyeball's MessengerSDK to deliver a rich, real-time peer-to-peer voice or video chat solution.

"Eyeball's AnyFirewall and MessengerSDK solutions have been used in PCs and embedded device for many years, and our recent enhancements have enabled us to extend multimedia solutions to tablet and mobile devices," said Chris Piche, CEO for Eyeball. "We are excited to enable our customers to deliver rich communications solutions in tablet devices, and you can expect to hear a number of exciting announcements from Eyeball in 2011."

AnyFirewall Engine and Server are based on years of innovation by Eyeball and leverage IETF, IMS, PacketCable, and Microsoft protocols. They provide guaranteed, carrier-grade firewall and NAT traversal across multiple embedded, PC, and mobile platforms including Android, Blackberry, iPhone/iPad, Linux, OS X, VxWorks, Windows, and Windows Mobile/Phone.
