Video Interconnection Exchange (VIE)

Transcription

1 VIE makes video calling as simple and ubiquitous as traditional voice calling - regardless of network, service or device. VIE: THE WORLD'S FIRST GLOBAL VIDEO EXCHANGE BRINGING TOGETHER VIDEO CONFERENCING AND 2-WAY VIDEO CALLING SERVICES. The adoption of core IP next generation network infrastructure has fuelled deployment and usage of Unified Communications (UC) and Video Conferencing services within enterprise environments, enabling more productive realtime collaboration through the use of video technology. In addition, the wider availability and accessibility of Web 2.0 services and web enabled devices is also driving usage of video services. Consumers now have access to a plethora of communication apps and channels enabling video calling at the click of a button. The benefits of video communications are clear, however, most video services are limited to within the video service providers own network. Adoption of video conferencing and calling services will dramatically increase when these services are available on a cross-network basis. 1

2 With multiple video services, applications, platforms, and devices; Video communications is a thriving but fragmented community. THE NEED FOR INTERCONNECTION The interconnection between video service provider networks is a complex and challenging issue. The legacy TDM based PSTN interconnect infrastructure cannot support IP Video calls. Furthermore, the complexities of interworking between the different protocols and codecs used in video communications means that video services are usually limited to within the service providers own network and therefore to their own customers and subscribers. For video services to be available ubiquitously across disparate networks, an interconnect platform that supports end to end IP interconnection to enable cross-network video calling. VIE: MULTILATERAL FEDERATION INTERCONNECTION XConnect s VIE service is the world s first neutral Global Video Exchange that addresses the interconnection and interworking challenges faced by Video Service providers. With a single connection to the VIE hub, Video Service Providers gain immediate multilateral all IP interconnection to multiple video networks with multiprotocol support, transcoding, full configurability and policy management. 2
