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.
