WEBRTC CALL BETWEEN BROWSER AND SIP PHONE

Call Between Web client and SIP client

  1. HTML5 and WebRTC enabled Web Client :

We are using open source HTML5 SIP client entirely written in javascript to make it light and to have easy integration with the SIP server. No extension, plugin or gateway is needed to initiate the call from the web Client. The media stack rely on WebRTC. The client can be used to connect to any SIP or IMS network from HTML5 and WebRTC enabled browser to make and receive audio/video calls and instant messages.

  1.  Proxy Server / WS to UDP Translator :

For the Proposed Solution we are proposing the Freeware light SIP – Server which besides acting like the normal Sip Server and Registrar can also act like the Translator Engine to convert the SIP over WS message to SIP over UDP. As one of the requirement we need to terminate the call on the hard-phone like Turret which supports only SIP over UDP we need to have the translator in the overall picture which can convert the SIP over WS request to SIP over UDP. Through this component the use case like initiating the call from the web Browser the terminating the call at the Hard-phone is possible.

  1. Soft Phone/ SIP  Client :

We are using the Boghe IMS client to act like the Soft phone which supports the Audio Codec required to talk with web Client like PCMU And PCMA audio Codec.

Working on the discussed Components we have successfully established the following Use- Case Scenario.

  1. Call Initiated from the Browser and Terminated on Browser :

(a)   Signalling Part – Initial Handshake is done and Call is established. (Captured from Wire-Shark)

(b)   Media Part – SDP is being exchanged as capture by Wire-shark and both the client can exchange Voice.

  1. Call initiated from the Browser and Terminated on the Softphone and Vice-Vera :

(a)    Signalling Part – Initial Handshake is done and Call is established. (Captured from Wire-Shark)

(b)   Media Part – SDP is being exchanged as capture by Wire-shark and both the client can exchange Voice but have some dependency on machine being used.

  1. Call initiated from the Softphone and Terminating on SoftPhone.

(a)   Signalling Part : Initial Handshake is done and Call is established. (Captured from Wire-Shark)

(b)   Media Part : No hiccup its working fine.
