Overview
A video / collaborative conference is a new conference mode in the network age. The features of the conference mode are: using multimedia applications of various contents, real-time usage, remote communication, and low conference cost. These features improve the efficiency and effect of a conference. With the increasing requirements for work efficiency and quality, it is required to set up conference systems in offices, departments, enterprises, and institutions. The eConference meets all these requirements of departments, enterprises, and institutions. It provides audio, video, and data co-operation functions. In a conference, the functions of enabling an e-whiteboard and sharing applications and documents facilitate the communication and discussion among the conference participants. As a result, the conference participants in various locations can enjoy data communication with the effect of being in the same location. A personal computer (PC) client of the eConference and connection to internet is all that is required for eConference. In addition, Fixed Line phones, GSM phones and other IP devices could also be connected to the eConference system.
Faced with the new business challenges, how can enterprises integrate various channels of communication to decrease “operational expenses” and increase “resource utilization”- a must in today’s competitive scenario? How can organization strive to achieve global collaboration in a dynamic environment where travel is becoming more difficult and expensive, employees are more dispersed, and business boundaries are constantly being expended. How can enterprises reduce time to get employees, suppliers and partners up to speed and keep them current? Aircel eConference provides a perfect solution!
- All networks and terminals: supports full-service operation.
- Rich service functions: enhance customer values.
- Open system architecture: provide flexible service applications.
eConference is a convergent conference solution that integrates multiple conference methods like audio, video, and data collaboration. It is mainly used to convene and manage remote conferences. It can be further extended to areas such as training, presentation, and collaboration.
Features
eConference brings you an undifferentiated convergent conference!
Users on any network can access the conference through any terminal.
Data collaboration functions are provided: whiteboard sharing, application sharing, document sharing, and instant message. Thus, participants in different places can present, read, and edit document as if they are in the same actual conference room.
eConference provides the following services: high-quality audio and video conferences, Web-based conference scheduling, and management of conference sites.
Technical Features
- Good Openness and Integrity: The eConference system possesses good openness and integrity. It can open conference capabilities to the third party through a Web service interface. Then, the conference capabilities can be integrated into other applications and solutions.
- High Reliability and Performance: The core parts of the system are based on a carrier-grade high-performance processing platform with such characteristics as modularization, high reliability, good maintainability, and high performance of network processing. Moreover, as a uniform hardware platform, it can largely reduce the networking cost. The software too is supports distributed deployment and load balancing. Therefore, if the system capability fails to meet user demands for conferences, the software can be installed and deployed to increase resources, and thus to expand the system capability.
- Ease of Operation and Maintenance: The eConference system reflects the user-centered design thought. This system supports various types of clients. Furthermore, accessibility and simplicity are important considerations for the function design and style interface design of the mobile phone client, PC client, WAP interface, and others.
In addition, this system supports alarm reporting through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). It also supports alarm management, topology management, and performance management.
