Yorktel Unveils Videoconferencing Service
Yorktel has added a videoconferencing service to its portfolio.
The Eatontown, New Jersey-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) solutions provider this week unveiled Univago, a cloud-based videoconferencing service that “gives users control, flexibility and security.”
Univago is a self-service, subscription-based offering that is designed to reduce bandwidth consumption and bottlenecking that result from large-scale video usage, according to Yorktel.
The service also features mobile and PC solutions, Yorktel said, and can facilitate communication between telecommunications platforms such as Skype for Business and WebRTC.
“We developed Univago for today’s businesses that need videoconferencing and collaboration tools which are convenient, intuitive, and make communications seamless, meaningful and productive,” Yorktel CEO Ron Gaboury said in a prepared statement. “Univago succeeds where others fail by making it as easy as possible to deploy, provision and manage secure video collaboration to accommodate any corporate setting.”
Yorktel said three Univago solutions are currently available:
- Univago Meeting Rooms (URooms) — Provides meeting rooms for existing conference room systems and enables enterprises to provision and manage end user accounts.
- Univago Enterprise Gateway — Support disparate technologies, allowing end users to host videoconferences using different software.
- Univago Virtual Receptionist — Reduces the risk of security issues by providing a controlled path to a video network.
Yorktel manages more than 10,000 video systems worldwide, and Univago may help the company extend its reach in the cloud-based videoconferencing services market.
A March 2015 Global Industry Analysts (GIA) report indicated the demand for cloud-based videoconferencing services could increase over the next few years.
In addition, GIA predicted that the cloud-based videoconferencing services market could be worth $2.9 billion by 2020.
