With multiple applications, services and platforms, video communications is a thriving but fragmented community. VIE (pronounced "Vee") will resolve interoperability and interconnection challenges by enabling secure, scalable and multi-protocol interworking between disparate video communities, exchanges, networks and devices.

VIE will make video calling as easy as making a voice call – whether using a laptop, desktop, tablet or mobile phone – from anywhere in the world.

By connecting video "islands," VIE will dramatically accelerate worldwide mass-market adoption of video calling and conferencing by service providers, enterprises and consumers.

VIE launches with five operators, based in and EMEA. Members include telepresence providers, as well as fixed, mobile and Web 2.0 video service providers.

Through one connection to VIE, video-enabled operators will gain immediate multilateral interconnection to each other, with full configurability, control and policy.

Video-enabled operators will significantly boost their video reach globally, leading to an increase in end-user video usage. This increase will help drive revenue and margin growth, delivering competitive advantage and faster customer acquisition.

XConnect's secure and scalable Interconnect 2.0 services enable next-generation interconnection that supports end-to-end IP sessions. The company uses its advanced ENUM registry technology and provides interworking and transcoding to assure preservation of video sessions. VIE will reduce the cost and operational overhead of interconnecting video services across networks, vendors and platforms.

"Whether users are at home, in the office or on the go with their smartphones or tablets, global demand for video calling is exploding," said XConnect CEO . "However, today, video services are confined to separate islands, limiting video calling to users within an operator, vendor or platform video community.

"The lack of interconnection between video islands hinders mass adoption of video communications," Katz added. "XConnect's VIE is a scalable, secure and policy-based video-interconnection service from a proven, trusted and neutral interconnection partner.
