This Adobe acquisition wasn’t on our radar until now. The owner company of the Flash format bought another VoIP company. This time, it’s Antepo, the developer company of the Antepo Open Presence Network (OPN) System, whose technology will be integrated in the Adobe Acrobat suit.

A past review of EWeek highlighted the VoIP client as a very good one for business users. “It offers a good feature set on the end-user client, and it includes a Web-based administration front end and integration with enterprise directories and databases.”

“OPN System XT use the open-source-derived XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) for IM, so administrators can use many commercial and open-source client options beyond those that ship with the products. In addition, OPN System XT supports SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)/SIMPLE (SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions), so companies can use SIP/SIMPLE-based clients.”

For the record, Adobe recently acquired Amicina, a start-up developing a peer-to-peer VoIP client. And some sources indicate Adobe is willing to roll out a peer-to-peer Flash player.
