As discussed in previous posts, WebRTC standards do not specify a signaling protocol. In general this decision is positive by giving developers the freedom to select (or invent) the protocol that best suits the particular WebRTC application’s needs. This can also reduce the time to market since standards compliance-related tasks are minimized. WebRTC media and […]

The IMS approach to WebRTC
The first post we published on webrtcHacks was ‘A Hitchhiker’s Guide to WebRTC standardization’ (July 2013) where we gave some initial insight on activities in the 3GPP around WebRTC and IMS. Since then the situation has certainly evolved (well, probably not as fast as some would have expected). Since we regularly receive emails asking about […]
Strong WebRTC Signals at the IIT Real-Time Communications Conference
Last week I attended the Illinois Institute of Technology Real-Time Communications (IIT-RTC) Conference in Chicago. This event has a history of attracting key players from around the RTC world. It features discussion that is distilled down to the key trends and technology challenges in the industry, with very little “fluff” on top. This year the […]
A Hitchhiker’s Guide to WebRTC standardization

When a week ago I started preparing some material for the meeting, a customer called and asked me to provide a training session on WebRTC […]
