SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Open Visual Communications Consortium, the organization that enables service providers to deliver a consistent visual communications experience to enterprise customers across networks and devices, will test OVCC interoperability scenarios at SuperOp! 2013 April 26 through May 4 in Porto, Portugal. IMTC invited OVCC members to the flagship interoperability event following the market launch of the first OVCC compliant video services in December.
Organized and conducted by the IMTC annually, SuperOp! hosts the world’s leading companies developing multimedia telecommunications products and services worldwide. SuperOp! is well-known for enabling unprecedented opportunities to perform rigorous interoperability testing and is a “must-do” event for equipment manufacturers and service providers developing new product, service and feature releases.
“Both IMTC and OVCC members are working to advance the use of multimedia telecommunications, which is reflected by the two groups’ many shared member companies. We are pleased to offer solution-level OVCC testing scenarios at SuperOp!,” said Anatoli Levine, president of IMTC and director of Product Management for Radvision, an Avaya company. “The unique testing environment SuperOp! provides to participants is proven to enhance service levels for their multimedia telecommunication users.”
OVCC members launched the first wave of OVCC compliant enterprise video services in December with six service providers and a groundbreaking interconnect network. OVCC members developed a technical and commercial blueprint that enables more enterprise users to visually collaborate with more people, more simply. It predictably interconnects and monetizes service providers’ video exchanges, which should accelerate adoption of visual collaboration services.
The OVCC testing, open to any SuperOp! attendees with relevant products or solutions, joins the standing SuperOp! roster of SIP, H.323, TIP, H.264 SVC, IMS, VoLTE and MPEG DASH technologies to be tested.
“SuperOp! is an excellent opportunity to test solution-level scenarios with multiple equipment and software companies – an almost real-world experience -- and expand upon OVCC internal interoperability testing,” said Clint Edwards, chairman of the OVCC Technical Committee. “We are working to add more service providers to this first wave and subsequent waves of OVCC compliant services. SuperOp! testing will enhance OVCC architecture documentation, helping to identify any interoperability issues or exceptions for resolution, and ultimately help OVCC members deliver consistently high-quality visual communications to enterprise users everywhere.”
SuperOp! 2013 will be held at the Porto Palacio Congress Hotel and Spa in Porto, Portugal. Register today.
