The interactive conference will disclose a customizable turnkey IP service solution, distributed architecture approach and new load-balancing capabilities that enable the replacement of heavily-used TDM event and reservationless conferencing services with economical, innovation-friendly next-generation IP services. The one-hour session will also preview highlights of a successful industry-first deployment by a national carrier who is now achieving 5-9’s reliability in a highly-scaled deployment.
Participants will learn ways to:
- Protect and sustain call states for even massive conferencing events in the unlikely event of IP network component failure or extraordinary disruption of an entire service point of presence (POP).
- Leverage IP’s on-demand scale and load balancing potential to support large-scale conferences with thousands of participants simultaneously, managed by over 100 concurrent live operators.
- Integrate new feature-richness and real-time participant presence and interactivity, leveraging IP’s innovation potential while providing hosts and operators with real-time control capabilities.
The Webinar will be co-hosted by and Ken Osowski, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing, Pactolus Communications Software.
