Understanding Nortel Multimedia
Conferencing
Multimedia Conferencing is Nortel’s
premium conferencing solution, providing a scalable, SIP-based audio and video-conferencing
application that extends reservationless conferencing. All users are assigned their
own virtual conference room that can be used at their convenience and is secured
with individual chairperson PINs. Conference access is available from any device
(analog/digital/IP, desktop clients, mobile phones, etc.) and multiple languages
are supported, making this a truly global conferencing solution.
Connection with LCS 2005 &
OCS 2007
While Nortel Multimedia Conferencing
can be deployed as a standalone audio/video-conferencing solution, the Nortel
and Microsoft Innovative Communications Alliance has enabled Nortel to deliver a
robust and proven IP audio-conferencing solution that can be seamlessly integrated
into a Microsoft desktop environment. Multimedia Conferencing can be
easily integrated with the Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 and Office
Communications Server 2007 for a truly collaborative unified communications environment.
OCS 2007 is sufficient to provide
web & A/V conferencing, then why do we need Nortel Multimedia Conferencing?
Nortel Multimedia Conferencing provides
OCS 2007 with the capability to host large scale conferences for external (non OCS)
participants.
This on premise, reservation less audio conferencing capabilities enables non OCS
2007 hosted users to dial-into (1-800-###-####) OCS 2007 conferences and scales
to thousands of users.
The other reason is, if OCS 2007
users would like to use their desk phone rather than communicator for audio during
conference, then it makes sense to integrate Nortel multimedia Conferencing solution
with OCS 2007.
Note: Nortel Multimedia Conferencing
works with integration of Nortel Communications Server 1000 in order to enable above
feature.
