Video Conferencing Solution Integrated in Asterisk Based Telephony Systems Jointly Developed by Surf Communication Solutions and Xorcom

Multi-point high quality video and voice conferencing capability in open source IP-PBX brings cost-effective functionality to small and medium sized businesses

YOKNE'AM and MISGAV, Israel, October 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Surf Communication Solutions ("Surf"), an industry leader in
high-capacity processing solutions for real-time multimedia communication
systems and applications, and Xorcom, a privately-held manufacturer of
business telephony interfaces and appliances, today announced that they have
collaborated to develop an integrated, multi-point video and voice
conferencing solution designed for use in Xorcom's Asterisk(R) based IP-PBX
telephony appliances. The joint effort effectively makes video conferencing
capabilities affordable and accessible to businesses of all sizes.

    Video Conferencing Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) Can Afford

    Today most businesses recognize the advantages of video conferencing,
but many do not implement such systems because of the total cost of the
existing solutions. In contrast to other video conferencing solutions
currently in the market, the Surf-Xorcom product enables organizations to
conduct high quality multi-point video conferencing at an affordable price.
The solution integrates seamlessly with Xorcom's award-winning Asterisk
based business telephony solutions, which support from 30 to 1000 users. SIP
(Session Initiation Protocol) signaling ensures compatibility with a wide
variety of endpoints, including the leading IP-based video phones as well as
soft phones, significantly reducing the total cost of the solution.

    Key Features of the New Product

   
    - High Definition Voice and Video: Resolutions of up to 720p
      and wideband HD VoIP are supported
    - Unmatched Quality: Low latency, high quality voice and video for
      different resolutions
    - Smooth Transcoding: Transcoding and transrating between
      different endpoints with unmatched media quality
    - Complete Control: Real time conference control via Web
      management or DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) codes
    - Seamless Interoperability: Built on a solid media processing
      foundation and providing standard based SIP protocol to connect
      different devices
    - Video IVR Support: IVR (Interactive Voice Response) flow for
      participants with voice only, and video IVVR (Interactive Voice / Video
      Response) for the complete video experience
    - Intuitive Web Management: Full control provided to all levels of
      participants, from conference moderators to invitees

    Video Conferencing Solution to be Demonstrated Live at AstriCon

    The new video conferencing solution will be demonstrated jointly by Surf
and Xorcom personnel in the Xorcom booth (#300) at the AstriCon event, which
takes place in Westminster, Colorado from Oct. 25-27.
