IMTC 2010, A year summary
January 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It’s been a great year for IMTC and the Telecom Industry as a whole, some of our 2010 highlights Were:
* IMTC 2025 Global Virtual Conference was held in April 7th-8th using Radvision’s Scopia and lifestream platforms for broadcast. In the 2025 event we looked into the question – “How will your living room look like in the year 2025?” The two day event was a phenomenal success and attracted hundreds of viewers and many participants from major companies in the Telecom and Video conferencing fields (Cisco, Polycom, Radvision, NXP, PV and more). All the Videos from the 2025 event are available in our Youtube page and Here.
* SuperOP! 2010 - The annual industry flagship interoperability testing event, was highly successful and brought together more than 50 engineers from 14 companies from around the world. IMTC president Anatoli Levine wrote about it: “SuperConnect 2010, consisting of about 35 endpoints and servers, including a 3-screen telepresence system, took about 37 minutes from start to finish, with brilliant High Definition Video shining all over the room”.
* IMTC SIP Parity AG participated in SIPit27 Event – This year event was focused mainly on Video Interoperability, rather than voice. You can read the event summary Here.
* IMTC took ownership of the Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP) protocol and established a new TIP Activity Group. Read the TIP section for more details or send an email to TIP_info@imtc.org.
* IMTC First TIP Webinar was held at December 08. We had connectivity problems that prevented some of the speakers and registered users to participate – We apologize for that and will offer recordings of the event.
Additional TIP events are planned – further updates will be announced via our blog.
* IMTC Annual Meeting was held in November 3, 2010. IMTC had a joint panel on the future of video with speakers from IMTC, UCIF and SIP Forum.
* IMTC President, Anatoli Levin Participated at AppTime Conference in LA, at the 4GWE/ITExpo event. Anatoli was also interviewed by Erin Monda for TMCNET 4GWE news.
* IMTC IMS AG leader and BoD member, Andrea Basso, participated at the 3G00/ETSI IMS November 2010 workshop on Implementation, Deployment and Testing.
We are looking forwards into 2011 events and activities – Stay Tuned!
Telepresence Interoperability Protocol Webinar
December 1, 2010 By 2 Comments
Update – TIP Webinar was a success – thanks for everyone who participated!
For more information about Telepresence Interoperability, check our TIP Page.
Earlier this year Cisco & Tandberg made headlines by demonstrating industry’s first immersive multi-screen Interoperability using Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP).
In September of this year, IMTC took ownership for TIP and has established a new Activity Group.
The TIP AG is responsible for the ongoing development of the TIP specification, TIP open source project management, and related development of interoperability tests between TIP adopters.
The TIP Activity Group is co-chaired by representatives from Polycom, AT&T & Cisco and has many members from companies in IMTC today.
IMTC will host a kick off Webinar on December 8, 2010 at 10 AM EST. This webinar will be a brief glimpse into the TIP Activity group and its vision. The webinar is free and open to all.
Please pre-register and access the TIP webinar from the following Webex link: https://ciscosales.webex.com/ciscosales/onstage/g.php?d=206589063&t=a
After the kickoff the Activity Group will have periodic, online meetings to steer the development of TIP. The group will also hold occasional face to face meetings as well as participate in multi-vendor test events, such as IMTC’s SuperOp.
TIP AG is an opportunity for your organization to participate in development of Telepresence Interoperability and leverage the benefits to offer Interoperable products and services.
