GENBAND introduced its Real Time Communications (RTC) Client for Lync* to seamlessly combine real-time communications with Lync Instant Messaging (IM) and Presence.
"We're shaking up the economics of delivering Unified Communications (UC) and offering a compelling way to integrate previously bespoke communications technologies," said Carl Baptiste, GENBAND's Senior Vice President, Enterprise Solutions. "We're offering enterprises the best of both worlds by combining our own high availability voice, video and collaboration with Lync's IM and Presence; creating a single, web centric, client. Our RTC Client for Lync is delivered like a web page but operates like a traditional desktop or mobile application. More importantly, it looks familiar to Lync users so they don't need to be retrained and IT organizations aren't burdened with the cost and complexity of expanding Lync infrastructure to support real-time communications."
GENBAND's RTC Client for Lync leverages the company's leadership in WebRTC, including investments in its SPiDR™ Web RTC Gateway, EXPERiUS™ Application Server and Smart Office unified communications applications. The entire solution set can be deployed in an enterprise network, in the cloud or resold as a hosted service. Organizations will also be able to acquire the solution from GENBAND's Nuvia™ Cloud UC service or as an element of GENBAND's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Kandy™.
The solution's WebRTC architecture eliminates the need to create, install and maintain discrete applications on multiple devices, offering tremendous cost savings to an IT organization. Additionally, users can access a rich set of UC services including Lync services from any device that supports a WebRTC browser, delivering almost limitless options for connection.
GENBAND's commitment to open standards assures that the RTC client can be further integrated with multiple business applications via the REST APIs supported in the SPiDR Gateway. Organizations can mash-up UC services, Lync and thousands of web-centric applications. Additionally, the solution can integrate with SIP-compliant IP-PBXs or service provider application servers. Organizations don't need a homogenous GENBAND implementation to deploy the solution and gain the value.
"The RTC Client for Lync is a major pillar in GENBAND's strategy to transform enterprise communications from a proprietary, single vendor world to one that is more open and standards-based," added Mr. Baptiste. "The client's WebRTC-based services complement GENBAND's robust Smart Office portfolio, enabling richer UC services for IP phones, smart phones, tablets and PCs or Macs."
*Lync is a product and Trade Mark of Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft is rebranding Lync as Skype for Business

As Marc Andreessen says software is eating the world. Everything is rapidly moving toward being software-defined – from our phones and cars through our washing machines to the datacenter. However, there are larger challenges when implementing software defined on a larger scale - when building software defined infrastructure.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, will provide some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing "software-defined" in the datacenter.
While not quite mainstream yet, WebRTC is starting to gain ground with Carriers, Enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISV’s) alike. WebRTC makes it easy for developers to add audio and video communications into their applications by using Web browsers as their platform. But like any market, every customer engagement has unique requirements, as well as constraints. And of course, one size does not fit all.
In her session at WebRTC Summit, Dr. Natasha Tamaskar, Vice President, Head of Cloud and Mobile Strategy at GENBAND, will explore what is needed to take a real time communications ...
Web Real Time Communications (WebRTC) is changing the way we have traditionally communicated and collaborated. To be specific, the technology allows developers to embed voice, data, instant messaging, and video into web browsers, thereby providing easier and far efficient ways to communicate than Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services such as Skype, WhatsApp, and WebEx.
WebRTC has come a long way since its inception in May 2011. Right from achieving interoperability between Chrome and Firefox browsers in 2013 to rolling out support for Android mobile, WebRTC has continued to garner more...

The evolution of JavaScript and HTML 5 to support a genuine component based framework (Web Components) with the necessary tools to deliver something close to a native experience including genuine realtime networking (UDP using WebRTC). HTML5 is evolving to offer built in templating support, the ability to watch objects (which will speed up Angular) and Web Components (which offer Angular Directives). The native level support will offer a massive performance boost to frameworks having to fake all these features like Polymer and Angular. It will also encourage people who are not familiar with th...
Every new advancement in technology brings security challenges.
When the Internet became popular, many people had serious concerns about exposing the enterprise to the outside world.
For companies to adopt Internet technologies, they had to accept a tradeoff: taking on new vulnerabilities in return for game-changing business value creation.
With the emergence of cloud computing, history is repeating itself. It no longer is feasible to resist the movement to the cloud because of security fears. There must be some acceptance of risk and an effort to minimize that risk with sound archite...

Even though Apple and Microsoft haven’t commented on the new open source technology which delivers high quality audio and video capabilities to desktop and mobile browsers, major carriers such as AT&T; and Telefónica, leading infrastructure providers like Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson and new WebRTC application providers in likes of Teledini and NetDev are driving the technology forward.
Research analyst, Sabir Rafiq comments, “WebRTC brings many opportunities; ABI Research believes major trends will start to form within the enterprise market with WebRTC. Companies will be willing to implement t...
At first glance, the idea of more connected things suggests simply that there will be more devices around and, as such, more products for manufacturers to make and sell. Of course that’s true, but increasingly the industry is realizing that there is actually more value in the services related to connected things than the things themselves.
As more things get connected, analyst projections forecast a global market of 50 billion connected devices by 2020, the range of service opportunities is expanding at an exponential rate. And as those services are presented online, they become available fo...
We spend a lot of time talking and writing about the IoT (Internet of Things) in the macro, as a giant worldwide network of objects and things, communicating with themselves and others. That is indeed interesting, but the most interesting components of the IoT, in my opinion, are the sensors. Sensors are defined as, "Devices that detect or measure a physical property and record, indicate, or otherwise responds to it." In the context of IoT, sensors detect or measure a physical property and then communicate the findings wirelessly to a server for analysis. Sensors are our digital fingers tha...
Just to be clear, no enterprise, no matter how large, has all the capabilities in house to bring a complex IoT product or service to market without some outside help along the way. Take Nexia, an IoT service for running your connected home. Creating this offering required a number of specialized disciplines in areas such as device design, electronics, digital systems, application integration and ergonomics, to name just a few.
