“Nortel brings expertise and innovative solutions across all access technologies, and adds real value to RADVISION’s offering in this space,” said Dr. Amnon Gavish, RADVISION VP of Mobility and Service Provider Business Development. “The successful demonstration of RADVISION’s SCOPIA Interactive Video Platform with the WiMAX platform shows that together we can deliver value-added video services across multiple accesses. Applications that are offered on RADVISION’s Interactive Platform today include mobile videoconferencing, mobile communities and video chat, video-enabled contact centers, interactive video portals and ringback clip. Our commitment to open standards, including WiMAX and MMD/IMS, promises a smooth and highly interoperable migration for operators deploying our IMS-ready products.”
Nortel is providing the WiMAX network infrastructure along with a comprehensive WiMAX device ecosystem that simplifies and standardizes the way advanced services, including multimedia, are delivered to subscribers across the network.
