“Now regional enterprise users will have potentially even
more choice than counterparts in Europe and the Americas, with the
emergence of these regional players,” Arole predicts.
Arole stresses that CPCNet has focused its
managed services model around video conferencing being accessible to
all users, something, she says, that Ovum believed was essential for
the development of video conferencing when telepresence made its
entrance to the market in 2007.
“Telepresence has definitely spurred on the video conferencing market
and CPCNet’s managed network connectivity is essential for the quality
of video conferences using different devices.”
“CPCNet’s VC2 solution is provided through a range of CPE devices and
allows laptop access to the conference room, and the provides the
managed network connectivity to maximise the efficient use of the
network for video traffic at the same time as integrating different
bandwidths to provide HD quality video to all participants in the
conference.
Commenting on Huawei’s entry to the telepresence market, Arole says it
has quietly announced its latest telepresence offering, and although
the company is already offering a selection of end points for HD video
conferencing, this is its first move in the telepresence market.
“The solution, ViewPoint Telepresence 3006, is based on open standards
so that it can be interoperable over different networks and can provide
HD and standard-definition conferencing to users with existing video
conferencing solutions. The solution uses a wireless control to manage
the call setup, which it says is simpler and more convenient to use
than a telephone call.”
