Project Title

Unified Case Study: Multi-Project VoIP Product Development & Integration Across Mobile, PSTN & IMS Networks

Scope

  • Build cross-platform VoIP client apps for Android & iOS 
  • Integrate PSTN landline access via SLIC hardware 
  • Develop a SIP-based softphone app with call continuity, conferencing, and transfers 
  • Engineer seamless handover between CS (circuit-switched) and IMS networks 
  • Deploy and manage SIP backend (Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Kamailio) 
  • Provide firmware-level integration with hardwar. 
  • Support NAT traversal and background execution for persistent mobile calling 
  • Deliver investor-ready MVPs and high-quality PoCs under compressed timelines 

Challenges

  • 📱 Real-time PSTN-to-Mobile VoIP bridging using SIP over unstable networks 
  • 🔄 Seamless handover logic between cellular and IP networks with <150ms transition time 
  • 🕒 Aggressive 6-week PoC delivery timeline ahead of VC funding round 
  • 🔐 Secure SIP registration, session management, and NAT traversal 
  • ⚙️ Integration with third-party hardware (SLIC card, device) and proprietary systems 
  • 🔋 Maintain persistent SIP connectivity in sleep mode across iOS and Android 
  • 🎯 Achieve carrier-grade performance and beta stability across devices 

Solutions

Mobile App Development

  • Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin/Java) apps with SIP VoIP functionality 
  • Used PJSIP and Linphone SDKs to deliver real-time communication 
  • Enabled key call features: dialing, receiving, transfers, conferencing, and DTMF 
  • Persistent background SIP execution with low dropped-call rate 

VoIP Backend & Infrastructure

  • Deployed Asterisk, Kamailio, and FreeSWITCH for backend SIP handling 
  • Configured STUN/TURN servers to address NAT traversal 
  • Integrated PSTN via SLIC-enabled device and SIP gateway 
  • Scalable AWS EC2-based hosting and DevOps automation via Jenkins & GitHub Actions 

Hardware Integration

  • Firmware support for proprietary SLIC-enabled telecom device 
  • Secure handshakes and registration flows from app to hardware via SIP signaling 

Call Continuity (VCC) Development

  • Developed VCC logic to enable fixed-mobile convergence 
  • Built SIP-based dynamic call handoff engine with 3GPP TS23.206 compliance 
  • Conducted interoperability and voice quality testing across IMS networks 

Agile Delivery and Support

  • Adopted Agile sprint planning and CI/CD pipeline for real-time adaptability 
  • Weekly demos, Jira-based tracking, and transparent communication with clients 
  • Offered post-MVP support including scaling, monitoring, and roadmap alignment
