Global IP Solutions (also known as GIPS) was a United States–based corporation that developed real-time voice and video processing software for IP networks,[2] before it was acquired by Google in May 2010. The company delivered embedded software that enabled real-time communications capabilities for video and voice over IP (VoIP). GIPS was perhaps best known for developing the narrowband iLBC and wideband iSAC speech codecs.[3]

GIPS software was generally delivered as “engines” that packaged together voice and video processing components for smoother integration and better performance.[4] GIPS’ customers are primarily service providers, application developers, and manufacturers of IP phones, gateways or voice and video conferencing systems.[5]
