Video communications solutions

Video conferencing is becoming a mission-critical application as enterprises of all sizes look for ways to increase efficiency. The latest video conferencing technology enables highly productive face-to-face virtual meetings without the time, expense, and stress of business travel.

This technology is not without its challenges, however. Delivering interactive video applications across private and public IP networks can create unique security vulnerabilities; interoperability problems can reduce ease of use or even prevent communications; and reliability issues can reduce end-user quality of experience.

The Acme Packet Net-Net Enterprise Session Director protects video-enabled services and applications, as well as the networks and infrastructure that support them. The Net-Net Enterprise Session Director is the industry’s leading E-SBC, designed to resolve multi-vendor interoperability issues, provide interworking between disparate video equipment and technologies, and ensure interoperability with service provider networks and hosted conferencing services. It also optimizes service availability and assures high end-user quality of experience (QoE).

  • Desktop video conferencing
  • Video conferencing integration with unified communications (UC)
  • Telepresence
  • Video-enabled contact centers
  • B2B, mobile workers and SOHO
