VoIPi

VoIPi is a cross-platform voice over IP communications platform that provides real-time voice calls, messaging, and conferencing over IP networks. It targets individuals, small and midsize businesses, and enterprise environments, and combines SIP-based telephony with WebRTC-enabled web clients to support voice communication across desktops, mobile devices, and compatible desk phones.

VoIPi relies on a modular architecture with a signaling server for call setup and a media layer for handling audio streams, transcoding, and conferencing. Native clients are available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and there is a WebRTC-enabled web client. The platform supports SIP trunking, PSTN interconnects, and interoperability with third-party endpoints, along with features such as presence, messaging, voicemail, IVR, call recording, and scalable conferences. API access is provided via REST and webhooks, with SDKs for developers.

Security and privacy: Signaling is encrypted with TLS, and media streams can be protected with SRTP. VoIPi offers optional end-to-end encryption for certain call types and enables admin controls for access management, retention policies, and audit logging. It uses ICE, STUN, and TURN for NAT traversal and supports data residency options in multiple regions to meet regulatory needs.

Deployment and history: VoIPi was released in the early 2010s and has since expanded to cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments. Ongoing updates add high availability, analytics, and integrations with CRM and helpdesk tools.

Reception and status: Technical reviews note its broad interoperability and API ecosystem, with some critiques about complexity for new users or tier-based feature differences. The platform remains under active development, focusing on security, compliance, and deployment flexibility.
