Nefsis Seamlessly Integrates Multipoint HD
and Traditional Telephone Conferencing via the Cloud
SAN DIEGO — February 23, 2011 — Online video conferencing
services innovator Nefsis® today announced the addition of
traditional teleconferencing capabilities to its video
conferencing cloud. Via the same web-based user interface customers
can now initiate an online video meeting and easily select either
VoIP or traditional telephone conferencing for audio participation.
Available now, Nefsis is the first cloud-based HD video
conferencing online service to integrate ‘plain old telephone
service’ (POTS). The Nefsis online meeting host and the virtual
conference server manage all the web, VoIP and video data, plus
teleconference signaling. The telephone network carries the audio
portion of the online meeting.
“We're
pleased to offer our customers both VoIP and traditional telephone audio
conferencing. It really showcases the power and flexibility of cloud
computing as the future platform for premium communications services,”
said Allen Drennan, Nefsis Chief Technology Officer.
“The new feature highlights the competitive
advantage of easy-to-update cloud computing versus static video
conferencing infrastructure hardware whose feature set is fixed
and steadily depreciates.”
The new
teleconferencing feature includes options for dial-in,
dial-out, toll, toll-free and international pricing plans. Nefsis
video and data connections use SSL/TLS encryption, which is secured,
but telephone circuits are not. The dial-out option is of particular
interest for security conscious customers in telemedicine,
financial services, and government where Nefsis initiates the
dial-out call and the telephone number appears on monthly billing
logs for audit purposes. The online meeting host decides who gets
called, and there are no unknown inbound telephone numbers.
