RADVISION's SCOPIA(TM) Gateway Powers Vodafone Portugal's 3G Contact Center16 July 2005
RADVISION (Nasdaq: RVSN) and COLLAB today announced that the RADVISION SCOPIA 3G video gateway is being used by COLLAB in its 3G Contact Center solution, which was selected by Vodafone Portugal to enable next generation voice, video, and instant messaging services. The RADVISION SCOPIA gateway connects 3G subscribers to COLLAB's One Contact contact center solution in real-time video calls.
The COLLAB One Contact Solution is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based product that offers full multimedia contact management, including routing and call distribution. Built on the robust Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) standard, the One Contact Solution works with existing gateways and media servers. By using the COLLAB product, carriers are able to provide customers with video calling between 3G wireless phones and/or wireline IP videophones.
"The SCOPIA 3G Video Services Platform allowed us to quickly develop our contact center with confidence," said Pedro Quintas, CEO of COLLAB. "The RADVISION product is distinguished by its ability to generate high-quality video services as well as its interoperability with any communication protocol. These features translate into a competitive advantage for us, and subsequently, for our customers, such as Vodafone Portugal."
RADVISION's SCOPIA 3G Gateway seamlessly bridges video calls between 3G-324M enabled mobile video phones, PDAs or laptops and IP-based video end points (SIP and H.323).
"SCOPIA is an excellent match for Vodafone Portugal," observed Eli Doron, Chief Technology Officer from RADVISION, "because it provides a scalable platform that can easily grow as new capabilities and subscribers are added. RADVISION SCOPIA can be integrated with the existing infrastructure of the operator to enable a cost effective delivery of innovative revenue generating video services."
Focused on industry-leading customer service, Vodafone Portugal is the second largest operator in the Portuguese Telecommunications market, and part of the Vodafone Group, one of the world's largest mobile telecommunications companies.
