Ericsson is resurrecting its standards based on WebRTC browser, Bowser, to help stimulate the development of more sites and applications that adopt voice, video and messaging features. The WebRTC (Real-Time Communications) is a technology designed to help programmers add features real-time communication, the Internet Web browsers and applications through JavaScript API interfaces.

So far, technology has struggled to find widespread success, but Ericsson hoping to give it a boost with the availability of Bowser and his mother underlying programming such as free source code. The Bowser for iOS and Android was first released in 2012, and Ericsson to help programmers better understand the WebRTC. At the time, it was the first browser-compatible technology for mobile devices.

The company retired it earlier this year, but changed his mind. As a provider of networking technology, Ericsson has interest in feeding traffic to mobile networks.

The lack of a supported browser WebRTC for iOS is a major reason for the company is to revive the product. While waiting for Apple’s Safari support WebRTC, Ericsson wants as many people begin to experience the technology explains Stefan Ålund, Ericsson Research, in a blog.

The Bowser was re-submitted to App Apple Store, and Ericsson is expected to be available soon. But more importantly, the company has for the first time available a cross-platform browser matrix, OpenWebRTC, available to developers.

Applications built on top of that array are interoperable with browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Neither Internet Explorer nor Safari support WebRTC, which has limited the popularity of the technology popularity.
