Cisco backs SIP, BlackBerry uses it

At the VoiceCon 2006 forum for business IP telephony, RIM (Research in Motion) is exhibiting its brand new WLAN BlackBerry, along with the 802.11-enable BlackBerry 7270. Truly speaking, it’s the same BlackBerry as before, except that this time, voice over IP conversations are fully supported.
BlackBerry could now share data with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise, make and receive wireless VoIP phone calls via SIP or IP-PBX systems, and via GSM. RIM did work with WLAN and IP-PBX vendors, including Cisco, to reach such an product interoperability.
The same Cisco broke out some news at the same exhibition. Now, it digs SIP, after diddling this technology during several years, said InformationWeek. Their fresh CallManager 5.0 speaks SIP fluently, as Cisco phones, presence-awareness and multimedia communications softwares now all do.
If Cisco backs SIP, that means a bunch of customers will be allowed to mix and match VoIP products. This is going far beyond voice over the Internet, although SIP is just come out from its infancy state.
