| RADVISION's New Desktop Video Conferencing Solution Available RADVISION has announced the general availability of its SCOPIA Desktop video conferencing solution – an important extension of the SCOPIA unified communications platform. SCOPIA Desktop extends room system based video conferencing deployments by allowing remote users to connect to conferences and fully participate in audio, video, and data collaboration as if they were in the same room. SCOPIA Desktop uses a freely distributable Web-based plug-in that can be used by anyone inside or outside the enterprise firewall. SCOPIA Desktop makes it easy to connect to and fully participate in meetings no matter where users are – at their desk, at a customer location, or in a hotel in another part of the world; further extending one of the SCOPIA platform's missions to easily connect any communications device anywhere. Traditional video conferencing users have benefited from the value of voice, video and data collaboration between conference rooms, but there has been no simple way to include users at their desktops or remote users on laptops that did not involve complex software installations, expensive licensing fees or firewall traversal problems. SCOPIA Desktop eliminates these issues. SCOPIA Desktop Highlights: - Delivers a high quality interactive video collaboration experience from a PC; - Provides face-to-face communication to conferencing room systems that is as easy as Web conferencing; - Accessed through a freely distributed browser plug-in so anyone, anywhere can participate in a conference; - Includes automatic and transparent firewall traversal for users outside the enterprise network; - Offers the same experience for all participants, whether connected from a conference room or a PC; - Enables data collaboration interoperability via H.239 with room systems; - Provides conference broadcasting via streaming to large audiences, including both PC and Mac users; - Is centrally managed and deployed for remote users eliminating IT administration headaches. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
