RADVISION, a provider of unified visual communications,
has launched new video solutions aimed at small and mid-sized businesses
(SMBs).
RADVISION has added the RADVISION SCOPIA Elite MCU 5105
to its portfolio of innovative, standards-based video conferencing
infrastructure.
The RADVISION SCOPIA XT1000 SMB Solution now incorporates
RADVISION SCOPIA Mobile, extending the features and benefits of enterprise-grade
video to SMBs but at a fraction of the price of traditional, larger scale video
systems.
“Video communications is becoming more prevalent in
both our professional and personal lives. Businesses of all sizes should be
taking advantage of the benefits of video conferencing as part of their overall
collaboration strategies,” said Rob Arnold, senior analyst at Frost &
Sullivan.
The SCOPIA Elite MCU 5105 is an intelligent, entry-level
MCU that supports high definition audio, video and content-sharing. Ideally
suited for SMBs and smaller departments or distributed organizations within
larger companies, the SCOPIA 5105 offers five ports for HD video calls and up
to 20 ports for enhanced definition calls, with dynamic resource allocation
built in.
This affordable MCU enables smaller sized businesses to
leverage the high-end capabilities of the market’s leading MCUs but at a
fraction of the cost. The affordable SCOPIA XT1000 SMB is a unique video
conferencing solution particularly suited to the communication requirements of
SMBs.
Built on the RADVISION SCOPIA XT1000 HD room system, the
SCOPIA XT1000 SMB combines HD video room system capabilities with embedded
multi-party conferencing, SCOPIA Desktop conferencing, and firewall traversal
into an all-in-one solution. Participants can leverage RADVISION SCOPIA Mobile
and join video conferences via an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Competitive
solutions cost four to five times as much for the same features and
functionality as the SCOPIA XT1000 SMB.
AMI Partners recently said that SMBs will invest $12
billion in unified communications (UC) components, both hosted and
premises-based, and video is a critical component for any company’s UC
strategy.
RADVISION is also working with leading global service
providers to offer cloud-based video conferencing to meet this growing demand.
“RADVISION is an established video conferencing
veteran and innovator, and we understand how an SMB’s needs differ from larger
sized-businesses. While they may not have the budgets of more traditional video
customers, they do have the same business goals and shouldn’t have to
compromise when it comes to technology,” said Bob Romano, RADVISION
corporate vice president of global marketing and acting general manager of
North America.
