RADVISION Selected By CESTEL to Deliver Video-Enhanced Services and Contact Centers


Collaboration to advance the deployment of video-enabled contact centers and value-added services for mobile carriers

FAIR LAWN, New Jersey, November 30, 2006 -- RADVISION LTD. (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading provider of voice and video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation networks, today announced that CESTEL, a major Spanish system integrator for the media and call center industry, has chosen RADVISION’s Interactive Video Platform to incorporate advanced video capabilities to its contact center and IVR  solutions.

RADVISION’s powerful development platform offers an intuitive, smooth migration path from audio-based contact centers and IVR systems to video-enhanced solutions. The IMS-ready Interactive Video Platform enables rapid development and deployment of multiple video applications that can be run concurrently. This allows CESTEL to leverage a one-time infrastructure investment and enables delivery of carrier-class solutions that enhance the consumer experience.

With the addition of a video layer on existing premium number voice services, such as traffic updates, weather, banking and more, CESTEL clients can offer enhanced video-enabled services to consumers in conjunction with legacy voice services.

“Several leading customers are enthusiastic about the performance of the platform based on initial deployment results,” said Mr. Fernando Ortiz Cestel, CEO. “Our customers not only expect to receive the same high quality when video is added, they also expect to leverage existing legacy equipment and transition smoothly to the world of video. RADVISION’s flexible APIs and robust development platform allow them to do that.”

"Our collaboration with CESTEL further proves that interactive video services for the mobile and contact center markets offer real revenue-generating opportunities,” said Alon Barnea, General Manager of RADVISION’s Mobility & Service Provider Business Unit. “CESTEL’s video-enhanced IVRs deployed throughout Spain are an important milestone towards widely-deployed interactive multimedia services – further validating the transformation from visionary ideas to real business solutions using interactive video.”
