Applied Global Technologies Extends Next Generation Video Conferencing Solutions to Enterprise Mobile Workforce through Enhanced UC Video Platform
Applied Global Technologies, LLC (“AGT”) today announced the v6.5 release of its flagship UC Video Platform, ENCORE, which extends enterprise and government video conferencing solutions to the mobile workforce. Encore enables enterprise mobile users on iOS-based smart phones (iPhone) or tablets (iPad) to host or join multipoint video conferences with desktops and room system participants.
Focus on Enterprise Solutions for Mobile Workforce
“Through Encore, AGT continues to recognize the importance of developing solutions for our Enterprise customers to provide the most efficient and effective means of collaboration for its mobile workforce,” stated Mike Valletutti, CEO and co-founder of AGT. “AGT was first to connect H.323 video conferencing solutions with PCs and MACs, and our latest product release provides the mobile user with access to video conference events through the use of tablets and smart phones. Through our engineering and design centre located in Atlanta, Georgia, we will continue to design new products and enhance existing products to meet the continued changing needs of our customers.”
About Encore
For existing video conferencing users, ENCORE eliminates the obstacles in creating a true end-to-end video conferencing experience in seamlessly connecting its mobile workforce across the most commonly used end points today. ENCORE was designed to be placed on the edge of the private and public network, and as a result, does not require unnecessary interaction with the internal IT department to open ports. ENCORE is compatible with both Polycom RMX and Cisco Codian network infrastructure solutions for multipoint meetings, and includes internal HD/SD ports for extending H.323 point-to-point with iOS-based mobile devices. With support for H.329 content and live desktop sharing, tablet and smart phone users can receive live content while interacting via VoIP, in addition to streaming video. The Apple certified app can be found at iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/perfectmeetings-mobile/id421577785?mt=8&ls=1.
ENCORE is an application server, designed to be embedded within video conferencing solutions, that makes immediately possible and supports the following:
- Teleworking – supports Federal mandate of a workforce consisting of 25% teleworkers by 2016, by providing secure, web-based video conferencing between home and work
