Neos has been developed in C and C++ to optimize resources usage and performance. All interactions are implemented using open standards and protocols:

Instant Messenger
Neos uses the Jabber protocol (www.jabber.org). This network offers a wide range of advantages over other already existing proprietary networks:

• An open, free and free of charge standard based on existing protocols for communications and security (XML, SSL).

• Compatible with heterogeneous networks through the use of gateways or agents that reside in the servers.

• Interconnectivity among servers. Any user that is registered in a Jabber server, is able to send and receive messages, states and other components of the protocol to/from user of other server. Jabber is a global web, independent from the server where each individual user has registered.

• Ability to establish secure connections through the SSL protocol.

• Wide availability of servers all around the world.

• Documentation and information widely available.

Audio and Video
Neos uses the H.323 protocol for real time audio and video communications. This protocol is widely documented and used by most of the existing products in the market.

Neos is capable of making sessions with other videoconference products thanks to the compatibility of the protocol. Neos uses the OpenH323 library; more information about the H323 protocol can be found at http://www.openh323.org/standards.html
