"The fundamental technology progression is from analog to digital to Internet. Telephony went digital long ago and the next transition, to voice over IP (VoIP) has accelerated. Video is following. Because these transitions impact infrastructural investments, they are slow, and it is important to maximize both backward and forward compatibility. Avistar's move to IP is timely and comes with these compatibilities, so I expect enterprise video users will now accelerate their moves to IP and desktop video," said Bob Metcalfe, Avistar director, general partner of Polaris Venture Partners and founder of 3Com Corporation.

"Corporate conferencing users are now comfortable with video, and are creating a growing need to extend video to their desktop workspaces. Avistar delivers a well thought out IP solution that is convenient, yet powerful," said Gerry Kaufhold, principal analyst with In-Stat/MDR, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. "Avistar's AC300 IP Endpoint uses a computer's USB port to connect to the office LAN, and the new version of the AvistarVOS bundles a good mix of features that will help end-users be more productive and responsive using video as a tool."

In the future, as Avistar users upgrade their IP networks, the circuit-switched endpoints of their existing Avistar installation can be easily migrated to an all-IP solution at a low cost. In the Avistar desktop solution, the same video infrastructure is used by circuit-switched and IP endpoints to provide video services such as multi-party conferencing, interoperation with third-party standards-based video endpoints, broadcasting a call to many users, recording video calls, publishing video to users, websites, email, and video on demand playback. This means that customers can choose a mix of endpoints initially and then migrate to all-IP endpoints and all-IP networks over time without rendering obsolete their investment in Avistar's video infrastructure.

Avistar's video operating system software (AvistarVOS) and system architecture separates video transport from control. Signaling and system control are IP-based using the AvistarVOS software, with the new AC300 and existing Avistar MultiChannel IP Gateway using SIP protocols. Video transport, the most demanding portion of real-time video communications, is separately handled through packet-switched or circuit-switched technology depending on network capability. The AvistarVOS 8.0 software includes support for the AC300 IP Endpoint, least cost routing, bandwidth and quality management, and other features to ensure performance, reliability, call quality and minimization of communications costs.

The new AC300 IP Endpoint provides companies with the flexibility to locate and consolidate shared Avistar video infrastructure in locations best suited to their network topologies. This allows the infrastructure to be centralized and shared by more users, and for smaller locations to be video-enabled with minimal local infrastructure -- thereby lowering the total cost of ownership. IP endpoints can also be moved easily with minimal installation costs, reducing the costs associated with moves and changes.
