Blink is the best real-time communications client using the SIP protocol. You can use it with many SIP providers, on the LAN using Bonjour and with SIP2SIP, a free service. A SIP soft phone that runs on Mac OS X computers in an Avaya Aura® SIP-enabled environment. The Avaya one-X® Communicator for Mac OS appears as an additional end point in the Avaya Aura® environment. As previously mentioned, SIP is enabled by default on all modern Mac OS software releases. This includes macOS Mojave, macOS High Sierra, MacOS Sierra, and Mac OS X El Capitan, and it’s safe to assume all future Mac OS system software versions will have SIP enabled by default as well.

Product Overview
The Cisco Jabber® platform is a unified communications application that lets you be more productive from anywhere on a broad array of devices. Find the right people, see if and how they are available, and collaborate using your preferred method.
Today’s global, distributed work environment has resulted in significant challenges for workers, making it harder to connect with the right people and significantly increasing the quantity and modes of communications. Organizations of all sizes are striving to improve communications in order to retain customers, compete for new business, control costs, and grow their business globally.
The Cisco Jabber platform streamlines communications and enhances productivity by unifying presence, instant messaging, video, voice, voice messaging, screen sharing, and conferencing capabilities securely into one client on your desktop. Cisco Jabber for Mac delivers highly secure, clear, and reliable communications. It offers flexible deployment models, the platform is built on open standards, and it integrates with commonly used desktop applications. With the Cisco Jabber application, you can communicate and collaborate effectively from anywhere you have an Internet connection (Figure 1).
Features and Benefits
Reduce Communication Delays with Presence and Contact Information
The Cisco Jabber application enables you to see the availability of co-workers and colleagues within and outside your organization. You can immediately see who is offline, available, away, on a call, or in a do-not-disturb state. You can create customized availability states, such as “in a customer meeting”, to provide added context. Contact cards provide additional contact information and multiple options for initiating communications. These capabilities help reduce communication delays and result in faster decision making and enhanced productivity.
Quickly Communicate with Borderless Enterprise-Class Instant Messaging
Instant messaging is an important communication option that lets you efficiently interact in today’s multitasking business environment. The Cisco Jabber platform delivers enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities that are based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). The solution provides personal, group chat and persistent chat rooms so you can quickly connect with your business colleagues. Chat history and server-based logging capabilities allow you to view the content of prior chats and to store messages for convenience, compliance, and regulation purposes. Instant messaging is integrated with other communication capabilities so you can simply move between chats, audio conversations, and web conferences. You can even share presence and send instant messages to people outside your organization who may not be using Cisco Jabber. The enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities of the Cisco Jabber platform provide more efficient, highly secure, flexible, and borderless collaboration.
Bring Business-Class IP Telephony to the Desktop
The Cisco Jabber platform delivers business-quality voice and video to your desktop. Powered by the market-leading Cisco® Unified Communications Manager call-control solution, it is a soft phone with wideband and high-fidelity audio, standards-based high-definition video (720p), and desk phone control features. These features mean that high-quality and high-availability voice and video telephony is available at all locations and to users’ desk phones, soft clients, and mobile devices. The Cisco Jabber solution makes voice communications simple, clear, and reliable (Figure 2).
Accelerate Team Performance with Multiparty Conferencing and Collaboration
The Cisco Jabber platform provides for smooth escalation to desktop sharing or Cisco WebEx® conferencing and collaboration solutions. You can instantly share documents and expand chats and conversations to multiparty voice, video, and web conferencing.
Collaborate from Common Business Applications
You can access the capabilities of the Cisco Jabber application from common desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook, including lighting up presence and click-to-communicate (instant message and audio and video calling) capabilities. With Microsoft Outlook, you can use the Microsoft contact card click‑to-communicate icons directly from within the application to save time and streamline workflows, because you can view user availability and initiate communications such as personal and group voice, video, and chat sessions without having to switch between applications. Accelerate Adoption with an Intuitive User Experience Built for the Mac.
The Cisco Jabber platform delivers unified communications to the desktop through an engaging user interface. The intuitive visual design promotes adoption of basic as well as advanced capabilities and integrates communications into the natural workflow to deliver the efficiency and productivity promised by unified communications. Availability information and communication options are available throughout the application, such as in the visual-voicemail and chat interfaces, enabling more efficient real-time collaboration. Cisco Jabber for Mac is built specifically for Mac users, with a familiar Mac user interface as well as integrations into Mac OS X services.

Encryption | Instant messaging communications are encrypted, using up to 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) connections. Signaling and media are also encrypted. |
Single Sign-On (SSO) | Single Sign-On allows Cisco Jabber users to securely access all Jabber services without being prompted to log into each of them separately. The Cisco Jabber application uses authentication performed by the corporate Identity Provider. The Identity Provider can control the authentication experience for Cisco Jabber users; for example, by prompting users for their enterprise username and password once when the Cisco Jabber application is first run and by specifying the length of time a user is authorized to use Cisco Jabber services. The Cisco Jabber application uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), which is an XML-based open standard data format that enables access to a defined set of Cisco services transparently after verifying credentials with an Identity Provider. SAML Single Sign-On can be enabled for Cisco WebEx Messenger Services, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and Cisco Unity Connection. SSO is deployed for use with Cisco Jabber clients using service discovery. |
Enterprise policy management | Set granular policies to determine which features and capabilities can or cannot be accessed by your Cisco Jabber end users. |
Flexible deployment models | Cisco Jabber for Mac can be deployed on-premises or on-demand, offering IT departments the flexibility to choose the model that best suits their business. When deployed on-demand, IT administrators can push client upgrades automatically to users. |
