* post XML instruction to phones to have them join a multicast group<br>* transmit multicast audio from source to the designated multicast address where all phones are listening<br>One caveat to this is that it is typically a one way delivery: source to destination, not bidirectional.<br>
<br><br>There was a DoD partner working on a different approach to address the unidirectional issue. They were looking at invoking a conference bridge (either meetme or adhoc) and conferencing all participants together. Unfortunately I do not have the name of that company readily available.<br>
