GeoPort 

 

Geoport is a hardware and software communications archi-

tecture that has been optimized for computer-telephony 

integration. It has three main attributes:

• It lets any computer connect to any telephone (analog or 

digital, public or private) anywhere in the world. 

• Once connected, it supports an arbitrary number of 

independent data streams up to a total bandwidth of 2 MB/

second.

• Unlike traditional asynchronous data communications 

(such as AppleTalk), GeoPort also supports isochronous 

data streams (such as real-time voice and video) and 

provides the real-time Application Program Interfaces 

(APIs) necessary to hide the implementation details 

from both the recipient and the sender.
