Polycom Inc. has announced that the Polycom RealPresence Platform will be a part of the underlying infrastructure that powers six out of the seven service providers that are offering breakthrough Open Visual Communications Consortium (OVCC) compliant, cloud-delivered video collaboration services. The OVCC organization has announced the first OVCC compliant, multi-network video collaboration services offered by service providers under their respective brands.
The services allow businesses of all sizes to participate in seamless video collaboration meetings, even if the participants are in different companies and served by different service providers. Using OVCC compliant services, customers can now initiate a video conference as simply as a phone conference.
“The breakthrough network-to-network interoperability of the OVCC service is eliminating technical obstacles to make video collaboration as easy as a phone call,” said Andy Miller, CEO, Polycom.
RealPresence Platform provides the carrier-grade video infrastructure needed for these new OVCC compliant services, delivering scalability, security, interoperability, reliability, and manageability. OVCC compliant service providers such as BCS Global, Bharti Airtel, BT Conferencing, and Glowpoint, among others, as well as Masergy, which provides network services, will all use the RealPresence Platform to help power their offerings.
