The tradition that conference calling, especially video conferencing, is an expensive pastime requiring serious investment in on-premise systems and logistics is fast becoming a thing of the past, with cloud-delivered alternatives now starting to appear.
One of the latest comes from European-focused cloud service platform operator, Interoute, which has just launched Interoute One Bridge. Built on the integration of One Bridge with the company’s SIP Trunking capability, the service enables everyone to join video and voice conference calls on any device, from anywhere. So this can be Microsoft Lync users on their PCs, video conference suite users in the office, or smartphone and tablet users on the move.
The One Bridge solution comes with the option of unlimited virtual meeting room addresses; enabling a world where every employee has a personal virtual meeting room that is always available and never double booked. Microsoft Lync users can join meetings, share HD video, voice and content with traditional video systems, smart device users and other Lync users. And the built-in WebRTC capability means anyone who can get online can get onto an Interoute One Bridge virtual meeting.
“From the corporate boardroom to the coffee shop, people can connect and share in crystal quality like never before,” said Jan Louwes, Executive Vice President, Interoute Enterprise Solutions. “Whether you’re using Lync at your desktop, a top end video conference suite or dialling in from the airport, joining a virtual meeting is now as easy as sending an email with Interoute One Bridge. The opportunities for businesses to collaborate and connect with employees and customers are endless.”
The global bridge platform is built into Interoute’s networked cloud which reduces call latency in the USA, Europe and Asia and comes backed with enterprise class security and reliability SLAs. The platform is supported by a management portal which gives an instant view and breakdown of usage, the ability to self-provision virtual meeting room addresses and keep control of costs.
The service is also designed to reward increased usage as its simple billing model, which is per port not per user, allows for a 50 percent burst capacity on agreed usage, for free.
Interoute One Bridge also integrates with multiple video hardware endpoint vendors including Cisco, Polycom, LifeSize, RADVision, Microsoft and Sony, bringing an end to the frustrating world of un-unified communications that closed vendor systems created.
