Solid experience. Cutting-edge innovation.
Packetmobile is a technology based company offering a suite of IP-based products and services to telecom operators, handset manufacturers, and other companies in the internet and telecom sector.
Our services and products are designed around our protocol, LTP (Lightweight Telephony Protocol) - a small-footprint third generation communications protocol especially developed for end-user terminals and handsets.
The team behind LTP has also been instrumental in contributing to SIP and were among the earliest authors of the SIP protocol. LTP is a further development and derivative of SIP and addresses many of the deficiencies of SIP, e.g. NAT traversal, support for presence and IM etc.
LTP has been some eight years in the making and has carried some 300 million minutes of PSTN terminated traffic to date. It is now a robust and well tested protocol.
