Anyone know what tech stack/language the SDK is in? Java? C++?

I'm betting it's a platform-agnostic API.

They need to be able to run from both .NET (Windows 7 devices), *nix (embedded systems), Java (Android, BlackBerry), and C/C++ (iPhone) environments.

Most likely it'll be some sort of SOAP/REST API for authentication and management combined with a SIP or SIP-like standardized VoIP protocol.

I doubt that - it wouldn't make sense to write something that wasteful (in terms of computation, not tech) for something that primarily target embedded stuff.

Most likely you will have a relatively simple C api (not C++, as the C++ isn't likely to be portable across compilers).
