It does not require special configuration, works behind firewalls, and is easily downloaded from home or work. PeerMe provides voice quality equal to PSTN networks

In addition to the P2P voice technology service, an application programming interface (API), which enables Web site developers to add voice communications and instant messaging to their sites, will be provided as well. Users can easily download software in English and other languages from the PeerMe Web site or from hundreds of software download Web sites available worldwide.

Tom Lasater, founder and CEO, PeerMe, added: “Similar to the impact of mobile telephones, PeerMe allows the computer users to communicate with their network of friends, family and colleagues anywhere, anytime.
