Enunciate Conferencing Deploys Convedia Media Servers Scalability, flexibility, and rapid return on investment
attract VANCOUVER, Canada – February 24, 2004 “Conferencing service providers are faced with a double edge sword in the increasingly competitive market for collaborative communications,” said Marc Beattie, Senior Analyst of Wainhouse Research. “Rapidly growing demand is driving expansion of their conference bridge capacity, while at the same time market forces are putting pressure on them to reduce operating and infrastructure costs to improve bottom line performance. Enunciate is addressing these trends by capping their investment in proprietary TDM bridges, and migrating to more cost-effective IP conferencing technologies. Companies like Spectel and Convedia who offer next generation IP conferencing solutions are not only delivering lower conferencing costs for their customers, but also offer the platform extensibility and openness essential for creating new, innovative revenue generating capabilities.” The Spectel / Convedia conferencing solution is designed to provide full featured attended, unattended, reservation-less, and mobile conferencing services on a scalable, IP-optimized platform with rich web conferencing and powerful recording and playback capabilities. The fully integrated conferencing solution provides Enunciate with an attractive return on investment by leveraging the price-performance benefits of IP, while offering Enunciate’s subscribers the ultimate in cost-effective, feature-rich business teleconferencing services. “We looked closely at a broad range of IP Media Server companies and quickly concluded that Convedia has become the clear leader in IP media processing technology,” said James Baskin, Vice President of Operations for Enunciate Conferencing. “Convedia’s Media Servers will allow Enunciate to seamlessly scale with our subscriber’s continually growing demand for conferencing services. Convedia’s multi-service capabilities, and strong partnerships with industry leading application developers like Spectel, will provide Enunciate with an IP-based service delivery platform for rapid deployment of new and enhanced services.” Convedia’s CMS-6000 Media Server provides industry-leading IP media processing features for next-generation conferencing applications including n-way audio bridging, loudest n mixing, codec transcoding, automatic gain control, current speaker notification as well as recording and playback capabilities.
