Eyebeam

Eyebeam was a VoIP software developed by Xten Networks, designed to facilitate video calls and instant messaging using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for telephony over IP networks. It offered features like call hold, transfer, conferencing, and support for advanced codecs such as G.711, G.729a/b, G.722, GSM, and iLBC to ensure optimal call quality across diverse network conditions. The software also enabled users to engage in video calls at various resolutions on Windows operating systems before being succeeded by CounterPath's Bria.

During its time on the market, Eyebeam faced competition from other VoIP software providers like Skype, 3CX, Zoiper, Linphone, and CounterPath's Bria itself. These platforms offered similar functionalities for video calls, instant messaging services through IP networks; thus presenting a competitive landscape that challenged Eyebeam’s market position. Despite this competition, Eyebeam distinguished itself by offering extensive codec support and features that enhanced user communication efficiency such as call hold and transfer capabilities.

Eyebeam set itself apart with its broad codec compatibility including G.711 through iLBC codecs which ensured high-quality audio communication under varied network conditions—an important feature for both individual users and businesses needing reliable VoIP solutions. Its ability to support video calling at multiple resolutions provided flexibility in user experience customization on Windows operating systems further contributed to its differentiation from competitors in the market. This combination of features made Eyebeam a comprehensive solution catering to personal as well as professional needs in telephony over IP networks until its eventual replacement by Bria from CounterPath.
