News item: June 14, 2018
Videxio has announced its new interoperability service to enable Video Conferencing interoperability for Google Hangouts Meet.
The new Hangouts Meet service, available through VideoCentric, means that users will be able to join Hangouts Meet using their existing Video Communication solution, whether that be Microsoft Skype for Business, Video Conferencing system from the likes of Cisco or Polycom, and Videxio clients for desktop and browers including Google Chrome Microsoft Edge and Safari.
Based on Pexip Infinity technology and hosted within the Google Cloud, the Google Hangouts Meet interoperability service utilises the Videxio Midgard platform to ensure security, quality and reliability for users.
“Hangouts Meet is designed to provide our customers with frictionless meetings. We are excited to work with Videxio to bring a cloud interoperability managed service utilizing Google Cloud Platform and Pexip Infinity to make it easy and fast for customers to enable interoperability with their existing infrastructure,”
– Rany Ng, Director of Product Management at Google.
“In partnership with Pexip, we are delighted to be chosen as one of the first companies to provide interoperability as a managed service between Hangouts Meet and other existing video capable meeting solutions. We believe that this provides an excellent opportunity for our existing partners, opens up opportunities for us with Google Cloud partners and provides an important service for users, extending videoconferencing interoperability to a whole new audience. With no complex technical setup required, companies can enjoy interoperability in seconds,” says Tom-Erik Lia, CEO and Co-Founder of Videxio.
Pexip Infinity was designed for the purpose of interoperability between multi-vendor solutions, and Videxio provides the Pexip solution within the cloud. With Google Hangouts Meet interoprability, organisations using the G-Suite of applications can now communicate more widely with other organisations or teams across the globe, meaning more productive and efficient meetings with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
