With a lot of developments coming around on a regular basis, it's a good idea to take a step back and summarize some of the major developments in a week. So with the arrival of a well-deserved weekend, let's settle in and run down the biggest events of the week with our Week in Review coverage! http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338650-webrtc-activated-newest-firefox-beta.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338650-webrtc-activated-newest-firefox-beta.htm Fri, 17 May 2013 18:15:00 GMT Web-based real time communication (WebRTC) has been one of those things that people talk a lot about, but seeing actual, usable, products available for the general public has been something that's been in a bit shorter supply. At least, it was in shorter supply until Thursday, when Mozilla activated defaults for WebRTC in the newest Firefox beta. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338526-webrtc-preparation-largely-comes-down-data.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338526-webrtc-preparation-largely-comes-down-data.htm Fri, 17 May 2013 09:52:13 GMT In the months since it was publicly introduced, WebRTC has captured the interest of a number of major companies and start-ups have begun to support the real-time Web-based communications standard. Aside from the major players like Google and Mozilla, companies such as Digium, Bistri, Wreally Studios and Fresh Tilled Soil have all introduced solutions based on WebRTC. Even Microsoft, which is regarded as something of a dinosaur these days, has done some work on the standard, introducing its own CU-RTC definition. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338408-hookflash-ports-webrtc-libraries-blackberry-10.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338408-hookflash-ports-webrtc-libraries-blackberry-10.htm Thu, 16 May 2013 15:12:51 GMT Hookflash - which develops products for real-time communication - has made available the Open Peer Software Development Kit (SDK) for BlackBerry 10 in beta version. This will let developers integrate messaging, video and voice into BlackBerry 10 applications. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/338170-webrtc-not-candidate-lean-development.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/338170-webrtc-not-candidate-lean-development.htm Wed, 15 May 2013 11:08:13 GMT Sometimes a term gets popular and the meaning gets lost. "Lean strategies" are about how to develop rapidly and cope with feature creep. Associated with the concept is the recognition that failure is a way to generate knowledge and is to be recognized and learned not dismissed. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/338128-webrtc-beachhead-secure.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/338128-webrtc-beachhead-secure.htm Wed, 15 May 2013 08:33:49 GMT In case anyone was wondering if WebRTC would gather enough momentum, Bistri has provided some data in this ideogram below that is worth looking at regarding video conferencing. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338122-talking-webrtc-the-future-communications-with-bistri.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/338122-talking-webrtc-the-future-communications-with-bistri.htm Wed, 15 May 2013 07:42:15 GMT Benefits, meanwhile, are substantial for users of WebRTC. Easy connectivity, ubiquity of access, and the overall quality of the audio and video involved in WebRTC calling are just some of the benefits that he sees with this service. The experience is also resistant to the effects of unstable networks, so even with a less than quality network; users won't have a difficult experience. The benefits are so clear that he even foresees by the end of 2013, several million users will have tried a WebRTC call on some level. Should a video broadcaster like YouTube pick it up meanwhile, he then sees a much greater expansion possible. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/337940-webrtc-the-enterprise-mainstream-not-yet.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/337940-webrtc-the-enterprise-mainstream-not-yet.htm Tue, 14 May 2013 07:32:30 GMT I am finding that when enterprises get a chance to think through what WebRTC can do, the result is a realization that it can be incredibly significant for their business. The challenge is getting the word out, building the velocity of knowledge. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337882-webrtc-beachhead-secure.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337882-webrtc-beachhead-secure.htm Mon, 13 May 2013 15:48:44 GMT In case anyone was wondering if WebRTC would gather enough momentum, Bistri has provided some data in this ideogram below that is worth looking at regarding video conferencing. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337801-many-cloud-based-contact-center-vendors-not-yet.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337801-many-cloud-based-contact-center-vendors-not-yet.htm Mon, 13 May 2013 10:56:20 GMT While interest rises in the WebRTC standard and many people write about its potential in social media, there has been more confusion - and a little panic - about what it means for the call center industry. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337734-webrtc-world-week-review.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337734-webrtc-world-week-review.htm Sat, 11 May 2013 09:00:00 GMT It was another impressive week of new developments in the field of Web-based real time communications (WebRTC). The new technology is causing an enormous array of new developments to emerge, and with the coming of the weekend, it's a good time to step back and take stock of all these new developments. That's just what our Week In Review coverage is set to do, so settle in and let's take a better look at the week that was! http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337603-vline-offering-free-webrtc-consulting-select-developers.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337603-vline-offering-free-webrtc-consulting-select-developers.htm Fri, 10 May 2013 09:22:08 GMT The purpose of vLine's real-time video platform is to make it easy for people to get started using WebRTC. In fact, the company's website boasts that users can create their own HD video chat service in less time than it takes to install Skype. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337487-intelepeers-new-teleconferencing-solution-connects-video-most-anything.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337487-intelepeers-new-teleconferencing-solution-connects-video-most-anything.htm Thu, 09 May 2013 13:45:19 GMT When it comes to video conferencing, there are certain issues that are fairly standard, as far as IntelePeer is concerned. Resolving these issues requires a certain level of innovation, and IntelePeer is out to do that via a process called "any-to-any" video conferencing. Combining Vidtel MeetMe with the already impressive lineup of solutions in IntelePeer's tool kit, the result is a surprisingly versatile overall setup that allows a huge number of devices and solutions to work together. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337462-webrtc-will-play-role-telemedicine-rural-areas.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337462-webrtc-will-play-role-telemedicine-rural-areas.htm Thu, 09 May 2013 11:45:59 GMT There has been a lot written as of late about WebRTC (Real-time Communications), a new browser-based HTML5 standard that will allow people using different equipment, devices and even different Web browsers to initiate chat, voice calls and conferencing chat without downloading any special software or plug-ins. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337455-presence-web-agent-earns-tmc-labs-innovation-award.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337455-presence-web-agent-earns-tmc-labs-innovation-award.htm Thu, 09 May 2013 11:05:50 GMT Presence Technology is no stranger to winning awards - its software is recognized for its ability to enable greater resource optimization and increased efficiency in the contact center. However, receiving the 2013 Unified Communications TMC Labs Innovation Award for its Presence Web Agent solution may be the most significant honor the company has received to date. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337420-visual-communication-industry-group-discuss-desktop-videoconferencing.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337420-visual-communication-industry-group-discuss-desktop-videoconferencing.htm Thu, 09 May 2013 08:24:10 GMT The Visual Communication Industry Group's next VCIG-Live event is approaching. Set for Thursday, May 16 at 1:00 p.m. ET, it will discuss and explore the deployment and use of desktop video conferencing, with panelists from Vidyo, Compass and the Kansas Research and Education Network. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337243-talking-webrtc-potential-challenges-with-fresh-tilled-soils.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337243-talking-webrtc-potential-challenges-with-fresh-tilled-soils.htm Wed, 08 May 2013 10:54:07 GMT Just this week, I was trying to log in to a WebEx conference a few minutes before my scheduled meeting. I quickly realized my computer wasn't compatible - I needed to download the latest version of Flash. After downloading it, restarting my browser and logging back into the portal, I was running late. The meeting went without a hitch afterward, but the current method of communicating over the Web is changing. Experiences like mine will soon go the way of the modem handshake. The next step for communicating over the Internet is WebRTC. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/337239-talks-fast-failures-webrtc-unconductive.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/337239-talks-fast-failures-webrtc-unconductive.htm Wed, 08 May 2013 10:21:41 GMT There's this notion I read lately about "failing fast". It is taken from computer systems, where you sometimes design the system to fail fast - fail as soon as possible instead of limping around for a while until it fails. The idea behind it is that the sooner you find and treat an issue, the better. This notion was taken also to startups and entrepreneurship, where you'd like to burn as little investors' money as possible before closing shop and moving on to the next idea. http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/337237-telcos-mobile-operators-need-follow-ibm-lead.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/from-the-experts/articles/337237-telcos-mobile-operators-need-follow-ibm-lead.htm Wed, 08 May 2013 10:16:13 GMT WebRTC may be the technology that is going to bring a very interesting issue to a boil: should telcos and mobile operators begin to structure their businesses as a dual model, separating the access business from the services business? http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337235-telcos-mobile-operators-need-follow-ibm-lead.htm http://www.webrtcworld.com/topics/webrtc-world/articles/337235-telcos-mobile-operators-need-follow-ibm-lead.htm Wed, 08 May 2013 10:14:21 GMT WebRTC may be the technology that is going to bring a very interesting issue to a boil: should telcos and mobile operators begin to structure their businesses as a dual model, separating the access business from the services business?
