NTT Com unveils renewed SkyWay software development kit

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and international communications business within the NTT group, has launched the renewed SkyWay software development kit (SDK).

In a statement, NTT Com said the new SkyWay SDK makes it easier than ever to implement real-time voice, video and data communication for applications and websites.

“Simple to use and supported with extensive documentation, SkyWay does not require special technical skills or knowledge of voice or video communication or constructing servers, and can be used for a wide range of applications including online lessons, Internet of Things and robots,” it said.

Currently, SkyWay has been deployed for the development of more than 20,000 services.

Suitable for diverse call formats including voice and video, one-to-one and group calls, and video communication while sharing screens, SkyWay is also a multiplatform SDK for developing communication services suited to specific industries and business categories.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online communication has rapidly diversified and now commonly includes events involving dozens of people as well as communication robots.

In response, NTT Com decided to upgrade SkyWay's architecture and release it as a new service with enhanced functions for increased versatility, including more simultaneous callers and terminal load reduction according to the end-user environment.

Looking ahead, NTT Com expects to further upgrade SkyWay by expanding the scale of voice and video calls, enhancing data communications for synchronisation of more people, and supporting gaming platforms for live streaming and the metaverse.

In addition, new SkyWay functions for measuring quality and analysing problems will increasingly upgrade video and voice in diverse environments.

People who are interested in planning or developing online communication services may apply to attend a free webinar in person (50 people) or online (100 people) to learn about the renewed SkyWay SDK at the company’s Tokyo headquarters on Feb 23.
