Welcome to the IPSS Project web site

Background

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is an integral part of today’s communications. The demand for economical voice service is increasing through the world and there are several major service providers such as “Skype”, “Vonage” and “Voicestick”. Consumers use these programs to communicate across the world for only a few cents per minute.  Although these services are economical for communicating with people via VOIP, they do not include services to dial 911 emergency calls.  With Intelligent Phone Service Selector (IPSS), people will be able to dial a number or Skype username using an intelligent program.  The program will recognize the number or username and choose the most beneficial way to connect the call.  In the case of an emergency call, 911 will be routed to the landline so local emergency services can be contacted.  The software will choose between a modem or an Ethernet with VOIP.
