Polycom,
Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM), the global leader in open standards-based
unified communications and collaboration (UC&C), today announced that
the Polycom® RealPresence® Platform will be 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 today 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.
As the most comprehensive and interoperable software infrastructure for
universal video collaboration, the 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.
“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. “Together with
our OVCC partners we are working to remove impediments for customers to
drive mass adoption of video collaboration, and make it easy for anyone
to participate on a video conference, regardless of the network, vendor,
or device. The RealPresence Platform offers the infrastructure needed to
deliver the interoperability, scalability, and reliability for our
service provider partners so they can provide a seamless experience to
all of their customers.”
The RealPresence Platform was recently enhanced to include the industry’s
first open standards-based SVC (Scalable Video Coding), with 3X HD
multipoint video call capacity for greater scalability, dramatically
lower TCO, superior performance, and backwards- and
forwards-compatibility to protect customer investments—all available
through a software update. Additionally, to meet the unique needs of
service providers, the RealPresence Platform offers
multi-tenant capabilities and open application programming interfaces
(APIs). With multi-tenancy, service providers can use a single
physical Polycom® RealPresence® Resource Manager to support multiple
customers, which optimizes resource investments and reduces operating
costs. With the open APIs, service providers can extend the RealPresence
Platform by building new apps to support and differentiate their
services and to increase revenue per user.
For more information on the services, please contact an OVCC compliant
service provider.
Open Visual Communications Consortium is a group of global video
exchange providers, network providers and equipment manufacturers that
have united to expand video communications and simplify video calls.
Polycom and industry leading partners announced the initiative in June
2011. The consortium launched as an independent organization with
Polycom and eight other founding members in October 2011. Since its
launch, it has grown to 31 members, which includes Verizon, BT
Conferencing, Bharti Airtel, and others. OVCC members will create
multi-vendor, multi-network specifications offering a technical
blueprint and business model to support the full spectrum of video
systems, from immersive telepresence and room-based systems, to high
definition and standard definition, and from desktop clients to mobile
devices. For more information, visit www.ovcc.net.

*Six of the service providers are offering services to customers under
their own brand names. Masergy, along with three of the service
providers, developed the OVCC compliant interconnect network that
supports the new interoperable services. As a network service provider,
Masergy is not offering an OVCC service to customers under its own brand.
