For your convenience, this site includes a brief video conferencing history page, along with commentary on the future of video conferencing. We also have commentaries on video conferencing in telemedicine, manufacturing, and specialty applications such as video arraignment. For more, see our video conferencing case studies page, along with published articles on web and video conferencing. Other popular topics this year are new, ultra high-end offerings such as HP Halo and Cisco Telepresence. High definition (HD) is the underpinning for these new studio products, and now HD is expanding into boardroom and desktop conferencing systems too. For example, WiredRed recently announced e/pop is HD ready. For the latest high-def update including cameras, model numbers, screenshots, bandwidth, and more, please visit HD video conferencing. Because e/pop can reach virtually any business desktop, it is arguably among the best green technologies, providing immediate repeat travel and commute-time reductions and a practical method for organizations to reduce their carbon footprint. Lastly, for general product information including screen shots, details on video codecs and recording formats, movies and clips (H263, MPGEG, MPEG4), please visit our video conferencing page.
Secure Instant Messaging Software
e/pop Secure Instant Messaging – company-wide secure instant messaging with a comprehensive feature-set, easy installation, no software prerequisites and hard client lock-down to completely minimize IT admin time. e/pop provides a complete suite of enterprise instant messaging controls governing all aspects of the system: presence management (identity), security, access and routing (public/private, centralized or distributed architecture). The lock-down capabilities allow administrators to allow/disallow select features from various users and groups, and prevent network users from changing the settings. Centralized administration provides control over groups and profiles (who can see whom in the presence management system) rounding out the enterprise IM / corporate instant messaging feature-set. e/pop customers can elect to install e/pop presence and secure IM products alone, or optionally add e/pop web conferencing software to implement a complete real-time communications suite.
Active Alert Messaging Software
e/pop Alert Messaging – secure, active alert software. e/pop Active Alert software provides secure, 1-way PC desktop pop-up alert messaging that users cannot ignore across LAN-segment, NAT, firewall and proxy boundaries. Extensive IT controls provide administrators with directory integration, client lock-down, 1-click message macros, instant button replies, audit and reporting, and all the controls needed to safely integrate active alert software and/or alert messaging with internal systems. The system can be expanded using the e/pop SDK and/or mobile extensions to create a complete emergency broadcast system. With the addition of e/pop web conferencing software (above), NOCs and a wide variety of command centers can organize on-demand interagency, media and key-personnel briefings and Internet based, web conferencing working sessions.
Technology
All products are powered by WiredRed Real-Time Routing Architecture™. This architecture provides a battle-proven, real-time routing solution for corporate and government networks. Among its design attributes are security, high-performance, scalability and the ability to provide a synchronous, multi-point channel for high-payload applications such as web conferencing, video conferencing, secure instant messaging, broadcast alerts and many other enterprise real-time applications. You can think of this routing architecture as a built-in VPN, or an applications-specific router for web and video conferencing. Unlike hardware-based video MUXs and MCUs, e/pop is entirely software. The client components download dynamically and provide proxy and firewall compatibility, so you can conference with anyone in the world over existing corporate networks and the public Internet. See the e/pop
multipoint video
white paper and real-time routing technology for details.
