Call it a Swiss Army knife for SMB communications. From Silicon Valley, V2 Technology brings its first video enhanced All-Communication-in-One server for SMB users. It is a Universal Connection platform based on its innovative and Video-QoS-efficient architecture.

V2 UC Server consolidates multiple communication systems and networks such as PBX (PSTN and IP), switch/router, video conference, and video surveillance into a single highly integrated one-box system.

It supports up to 100 concurrent voice users, up to 10 concurrent telepresence sessions and up to 20 cameras simultaneously. Any user can simply click to connect any other users anywhere in the company, or remote/foreign office for not only PSTN or VoIP voice call, but also high quality video call and video conference-telepresence.

"…There is a real need for SMB to keep up with its bigger enterprise counterparts in communication capability. Such as upgrading existing communication system to embrace telepresence, and collaboration to increase company’s productivity while cutting big travel expenses as bigger companies enjoy now," says Ting Liu, President of V2.

With its patent pending and simplified UC SolutionNet platform, V2 developed their own hardware, OS, firmware and all software.

Mirial releases ClearSea, a desktop videoconferencing engineered for enterprise, healthcare and educational markets.

ClearSea is available both as a physical appliance and as a VMware-based virtual appliance.

Virtualization provides the flexibility of a software-based approach, as well as the plug-and-play benefits usually associated with stand-alone hardware appliances.

Based on a client/server architecture, ClearSea provides a HD desktop client (pc and Mac) and the ability to connect any legacy device (companies can make the most out of their existing videoconferencing infrastructure without additional equipment such as H323/SIP Gateways or Firewall/NAT traversal appliances).

The port based licensing and the possibility to download unlimited copies of the client makes the product extremely scalable without the need to worry about unused accounts.

ClearSea can connect the local (on-LAN) and remote (off-LAN) desktop users across their firewalls and to their SIP or H323 legacy conferencing room systems, without the need of any external gateway or bridge. The product also embeds a video IVR to call users by extensions and an "autoscan" feature for finding existing room systems.

A 30-day trial version of ClearSea can be downloaded from website below.

Polycom launches the Open Collaboration Network to improve productivity through voice and video communications.

Bringing together AT&T, Avaya/Nortel, BroadSoft, British Telecom, IBM, Juniper, HP, Microsoft, and Siemens, the program seeks to encourage interoperability and connectivity so partners can deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions.

(And, of course, Polycom is looking to leverage partners to balance out the new challenge from Cisco/Tandberg.)

Hear all about it in a podcast from Jim Kruger, Polycom VP of Solution Product Marketing (shown in photo).
