Story and founders

The name ‘Belledonne′ originated from the name of a mountain range in the northern French Alps, near the city of Grenoble. Grenoble is sometimes referred to as the ‘French Silicon Valley′ due to the presence of many highly qualified engineers and a wide range of companies of different sizes working in the domains of electronics, nano-technologies and software services.

Belledonne Communications was founded in 2010 by Simon Morlat, the original author of Linphone, and Jehan Monnier, who worked for nine and ten years, respectively, in the telecom division of Hewlett Packard.

The Linphone project

Since it was launched in 2001 as the very first open source application using SIP on Linux, Linphone has become very popular, especially within the open source community.

Our engineering team is continuously working on the Linphone project to support the latest versions of most popular platforms and to provide advanced Voice/Video and Instant Messaging features.
