AVI-SPL, Cisco and TELUS joins OVCC

AVI-SPL, Cisco and TELUS have joined the Open Visual Communications Consortium (OVCC), a group of leading service and solution providers creating the blueprint to deliver high-quality video collaboration that connects any vendor, any network and any device, anywhere.

AVI-SPL and Cisco joined the organization as board members and bring OVCC membership to 27 companies, more than doubling OVCC membership just eight months after launching.

"The OVCC organization's focus on bringing high-quality, multi-network, multi-vendor video service to market faster has compelled a distinguished list of global leaders to collaborate on enterprise video services. We are excited to welcome AVI-SPL, Cisco and TELUS," said Andrew McFadzen, OVCC president.

Each new member's participation adds proof that OVCC members will deliver video communication between any vendor, any network and any device he added.

OVCC members contribute to and implement the OVCC technical and commercial blueprint, using established standards and best practices to accelerate and commercialize business-to-business video communications. OVCC members are committed to providing video around the world to enable enterprise users to place and receive video calls beyond corporate firewalls and across standards-based and proprietary video platforms. The first OVCC services are scheduled to launch later this year.
