Google has acquired Jibe, a start-up based in Mountain View, California, that offers a Communications Cloud for carrier interoperability that uses WebRTC, RCS, joyn.
Jibe enables carriers to deliver rich IP-based communications services — high quality video calling, group chat and large media-file sharing. Its customers include U.S.-based Sprint and leading European carriers Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, KPN, and SFR. The company was founded in 2006.
Google said the acquisition will help it bring RCS to a global audience with a better messaging experience on Android.
