Two major trends are set to coincide in the coming months:
1. Google’s Android operating system will be adopted by vendors developing consumer electronic products with any kind of a display – be it mobile handsets, tablets, netbooks, mediaphones or other devices.
2. Consumer video chat services will increase. With the introduction of Skype TV and Apple’s iPhone 4 FaceTime service, consumer electronic vendors can no longer ignore the need to provide video chat solutions as part of their devices.
These two trends come with a set of challenges that vendors have not experienced until today. In this webinar, Tsahi Levent-Levi and Amit Lavi will discuss these challenges and what vendors can do to mitigate them.
What will you learn?
* The building blocks of a FaceTime-like mobile video chat service
* Challenges in developing video chat services
* Different technology routes taken by companies supporting video chat
* How video chat services map into the Android OS
* RADVISION’s BEEHD offering for Android Devices
1. Realizing “FaceTime” on Android Devices Amit Lavi Product Manager Tsahi Levent-Levi Director of Technology and Solution
2. Agenda What is Apple FaceTime? The Makeup of a Video Chat Service Technology Routes Video Chat and the Android OS Delivering High Quality User Experience BEEHD for Personal Devices
4. FaceTime Video Chat service for iPhone 4 (& iPod Touch) Requires no registration or sign-in Free IP-based service Runs only over WiFi Based on open standards Closed, proprietary service
5. FaceTime “Magic” Initial binding of phone to its number on Apple servers done using SMS Call initiation done using proprietary Apple Push Notification Server “Standard” SIP is used to negotiate call capabilities HTTP and TLS used to authenticate certificates RTP used to send media
6. FaceTime Advantages: User Experience No installation No need for an additional user account Seamless part of phone services Video quality better than 3G
7. FaceTime Disadvantages: Closed System iPhone4-to-iPhone4 only WiFi only No presence indication Proprietary implementation
12. Application Provide the user experience Synchronize media and signaling Enable configuration and management Allow service mash-ups
13. Service Provisioning Clients need servers Handle registrations Manage dial plans Enable firewall traversal Provide value added services Gatewaying across networks
23. The Missing Link(s) Telephony Manager Contacts and Phone applications Front facing camera Connecting the low level with the applications Real-time, bidirectional media management
31. Got some packet loss? Time to reduce bitrate… Dealing with Packet Loss
32. Wouldn’t it be better if we could predict packet losses?
33. RADVISION NetSense Delay based bandwidth estimation Monitor delay for “trends” React accordingly Converge quickly to the effective bandwidth
34. NetSense convergence on available bandwidth NetSense reduces bandwidth before packet losses occur on the network, reducing video artifacts and increasing video quality
35. NetSense Comparison The higher the score, the better the quality The lower the latency, the better the quality
