Experimental WebRTC mobile browser released by Ericsson

Ericsson Research today announces the world’s first WebRTC-enabled browser for mobile devices, called “Bowser.” WebRTC is based on work ongoing within the World Wide Web Consortium and the Internet Engineering Task Force to develop a standard, interoperable approach to real-time communication (RTC) using audio and video in Web browsers without the need for any plug-ins.Ericsson Research is heavily involved in the standardization of WebRTC, and has been developing prototype implementations of the evolving standard for over two years. With Bowser, developers can finally start experimenting with real-time audio and video functionality in mobile web applications.Bowser is available today as a free download on different mobile application stores.
