RADVISION and Nortel Team to Demonstrate 3G Video Community Service at CTIA Wireless Exhibition 2006
RADVISION's Interactive Video Platform Completes Incubation with Nortel’s CDMA 1xEV-DO Rev A Platform. Live Video Community Application Demonstrates Innovative 3G Service.
FAIR LAWN, New Jersey, April 5, 2006 -- RADVISION (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading provider of multimedia conferencing and communications platforms, today announced an innovative video community application will be demonstrated at the CTIA Wireless 2006 Show in Las Vegas, based on RADVISION’s Interactive Video Platform and Nortel’s 1xEV-DO Rev A access platform.
The demonstration shows multiple parties communicating in a video chat environment known as a video community. This innovative application is targeted at 3G operators to be deployed as a revenue generating and customer retention service.
Based on the RADVISION Interactive Video Platform, the video community service is able to combine video streams from any IP source including video from 3G subscribers’ PC’s and camera phones streaming content network sources, including pre-recorded and live broadcasts. The Interactive Video Platform combines the various video sources and presents them to the subscribers as a unified picture comprised of several video images that are adjusted and positioned clearly on the mobile screen. The Interactive Video Platform includes a flexible software development interface so that the video service to be deployed by the operator may be quickly created, customized and adapted to the exact needs of the subscriber base without the need to change the client device application.
The RADVISION Interactive Video Platform is already deployed in IMS networks around the world supporting a variety of services including 3G video conferencing, PC to Mobile video conferencing, and video-enabled contact centers.
“RADVISION’s Interactive Video Platform enables the creation of compelling new video applications for 3G subscribers. In addition to RADVISION’s 3G videoconferencing services and video community demonstration application, the Interactive Video Platform is a flexible video service creation platform that can be used to deploy different types of services ranging from surveillance services to video-enabled contact centers. Our commitment to open standards, including MMD/IMS, promises a smooth and highly interoperable migration for operators deploying our products. We are excited about our cooperation with Nortel and the fact that we have successfully completed incubation with their 1xEV-DO Rev A access” said Dr. Amnon Gavish, VP of Service Provider Business Development in RADVISION.
Nortel is providing the access and core components for deployment on CDMA EVDO networks. These components will drive the migration from legacy circuit switched architecture to an all IP network that simplifies and standardizes the way that advanced services, including multimedia, are delivered across the network to subscribers.
Nortel will be demonstrating the video community application running on a CDMA 1xEV-DO Rev A along with RADVISION’s Interactive Video Platform at the Nortel booth at CTIA Wireless 2006 Exhibition, Las Vegas, Nevada, during April 5-7.
