Global IP Solutions announced the availability of a voice over IP (VoIP) service for Apple’s iPhone, which will enable application developers to create quality, real-time VoIP applications for iPhone users. The decision to turn to the iPhone was driven by the growing popularity of the iPhone, as well as the mergence of multiple applications and faster connectivity of Apple’s product.

As Emerick Woods, GIPS Chief Executive Officer, explained in a statement, the iPhone has turned into “an ideal platform for developing applications that incorporate quality real-time VoIP, giving consumers real-world communication experiences like in-game, multi-person chat.”

The GIPS VoiceEngine Mobile provides capabilities that turn IP packets so they can be transmitted via Wi-Fi, Woods revealed. This way, it will be easier for application developers to bring VoIP integrated applications to the market.

GIPS VoiceEngines are among the most downloaded voice engines worldwide, as they are considered to be reliable high-quality IP-based communications.

“GIPS technology is second-to-none, and we’re excited to introduce our award-winning VoiceEngine to the popular iPhone application development community,” Woods said.

The company is responsible for pioneering VoIP technology for multiple leading Internet service providers, application developers and hardware manufacturers across the world. They have also invented the Internet Engineering Task Force iLBC codec standard, which is currently part of the iPhone.

The move comes as no surprise if we take into consideration Apple’s reports on the iPhone 3G demand. According to these reports, Apple sold one million iPhones 3G in the first weekend after its launch. Furthermore, Jobs revealed gains of $30 million in 30 days since the App Store was launched.
