Dialogic Inc., on Tuesday announced that it has reached more than 90 WebRTC engagements among telcos, enterprises, contact centers, cloud and Web companies, and public institutions. These WebRTC engagements span service provider and enterprise markets including tier-one network service providers and Fortune 500 companies, representing diverse use cases, including videoconferencing, interworking and recording. Similarly, Dialogic’s PowerMedia XMS WebRTC ecosystem also continues to expand, with more than a dozen partners serving major markets such as telemedicine, financial services, enterprise collaboration and mobile communications.
“In the past year, we have seen a tremendous increase in interest for WebRTC and growing traction for our server-side media processing solutions. As WebRTC matures beyond an interesting technology to a business-useful one, our PowerMedia XMS media server is providing sophisticated, production-ready applications and services from the doctor’s office to financial trading floors”, said Kevin Cook, president and CEO of Dialogic.
“WebRTC will soon be a household capability for telemedicine due to the ease with which healthcare providers can connect patients using contextual information. Doctors and patients will benefit from immediate collaboration to deliver a higher quality of care that actually reduces medical expenditures. Dialogic’s PowerMedia XMS provides critical server-side media processing capabilities including multi-party conferencing and recording that power our remote video consultation and patient monitoring applications”, said Matt Semenza, vice president of business development of SPAN Systems.
One of the newest WebRTC ecosystem partner program members, SPAN Systems, provides unified communications solutions that streamline healthcare technology and improve doctor-provider-patient coordination while decreasing costs.
Dialogic’s customers form an ecosystem of companies harnessing the power of real-time communications. Dialogic’s PowerMedia XMS partner program now includes more than a dozen that specifically support WebRTC solutions. These partners transcend industry boundaries, leveraging PowerMedia XMS and WebRTC technology for a wide variety of applications and services across traditional telcos, alternative IP communications providers, emerging web companies, call centers and enterprise verticals.
