What is Jabertel?

Jabertel is a voice conferencing solution that provides crystal-clear audio over the Internet. Jabertel customers eliminate expensive toll telephone charges by utilizing the Internet's increasingly-expansive reach across the globe and its relatively low cost.

Using state of the art voice over IP (VoIP) technology, along with a high quality and low bandwidth VoIP codec, Jabertel solves communication problems ranging from hosted voice chat for gaming and entertainment, to licensed voice conferencing servers for business collaboration.

Considering the increasing number of employees working from home and the globalization of a company's workforce, it's easy to see that voice conferencing would be better utilized by having a persistent audio conference, where members can come and go as they choose. This contrasts with the original teleconferencing concepts where a telephone conference was scheduled and joined for a single, specific topic. Jabertel provides this capability at the lowest cost possible. Login and create a free community today, and see for yourself how Jabertel has become the ultimate online conference room.

What is a Jabertel community?

A Jabertel community is typically devoted to an organization. Within the community, numerous channels may be created. For example, the image to the right illustrates the community "Jabertel" with two channels. These channels are useful for hosting individual meetings with a select set of participants. A channel is similar to a virtual conference room. All participants of a channel may communicate freely, just like they would do in a physical meeting room.

Each channel can support a virtually unlimited number of participants. Further, channel administrators may choose to moderate their channel, thereby permitting only a select set of participants to speak. All other participants will hear the moderators. This configuration lends itself useful to online broadcasting, such as webinars, or even streaming audio similar to a talk show.

Does Jabertel offer an API/SDK for integration?

Yes. While Jabertel is commonly integrated at the web layer, we also offer a complete SDK for embedding the Jabertel client or server directly into other applications. Developers of gaming, business collaboration, and even marketing products can save time and money by utilizing our proven VoIP conferencing framework. Visit our Developers page for more detailed information, or contact us today if you have specific questions.
