At Interop booth 1577, RADVISION will be demonstrating:
(1) IBM Lotus Sametime with multiparty audio and video from the SCOPIA Conferencing Platform
(2) Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 video conferencing connectivity via SCOPIA
(3) Cisco Unified Videoconferencing powered by SCOPIA technology
(4) Interoperability between the IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco solutions in addition to HD (high definition) room-based video conferencing and video telephony

(1) IBM Lotus Sametime with multiparty audio and video from the SCOPIA Conferencing Platform

RADVISION’s SCOPIA Conferencing Platform with SCOPIA Desktop brings advanced conferencing capability to IBM’s next generation unified communications and collaboration platform enhancing the instant messaging and conferencing capabilities of Lotus Sametime by enabling users to create and initiate multiparty audio and video conferences directly from within Lotus Sametime.

At Interop RADVISION launched new enhancements to the solution providing scheduling and directory integration with IBM Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino. Now users can schedule SCOPIA hosted meetings from Lotus Notes in addition to having their username and password credentials authenticated against Lotus Domino.

(2) Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 video conferencing connectivity via SCOPIA

The SCOPIA Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 Connector enhances the latest Microsoft unified communications offering providing the capability for Office Communicator users to participate in conferences with standards-based video conferencing systems and devices.

The SCOPIA Connector is a simple to use, highly flexible tool allowing OCS 2007 users to join a meeting hosted on the SCOPIA Conferencing Platform using their native Office Communicator client. Now Office Communicator desktop users have full interoperability with video conferencing room systems including the latest high definition endpoints with continuous presence multipoint video.

(3) Cisco Unified Videoconferencing powered by SCOPIA technology

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing System is integrated into Cisco Unified Communications to enable connectivity with a broad range of room and desktop video systems and communications environments. RADVISION provides the infrastructure for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing, including MCUs, Gateways and software for setting up and managing video sessions.

Cisco Unified Videoconferencing includes desktop video that extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU to remote users with a free, Web-based client that includes H.239 data collaboration, embedded firewall and NAT traversal and conference streaming. This provides the same continuous presence and data sharing capabilities as video conferencing room systems extending their reach and impact.

(4) Interoperability between the IBM, Microsoft, Cisco and legacy  solutions

“Enterprises today have a broad array of options available to them for communications including: unified communications platforms from the major vendors, telepresence systems, HD room systems, desktop video and video telephony - with most enterprises having some combination of these. Natively, they don’t easily interoperate with each other and increase the risk of creating islands of communication,” said Zeev Bikowsky, General Manager Networking Business Unit for RADVISION.
