SD-WAN in Context of WebRTC

SD-WAN in Context of WebRTC

The promise of SD-WAN (Software Defined WAN) is reliable high quality enterprise WAN using low cost access (e.g. broadband) instead of expensive MPLS. SD-WAN is a collection of several technologies with centralized management on top.Given quality of WebRTC sessions and usage of error resilient codecs, does SD-WAN bring any value to WebRTC?

The Alphabet Soup of MPLS vs. DIA vs. SD-WAN

The Alphabet Soup of MPLS vs. DIA vs. SD-WAN

MPLS and DIA are built for the past and don’t support cost and technical requirements of the modern enterprise. SD-WAN will be like the Firewall is today for enterprises. It will become common among enterprises. It doesn’t mean MPLS will go away, but with the capability of Hybrid WAN as part of SD-WAN, MPLS will become less critical, less traffic will go over it,

OTTs Combining WebRTC with SD-WAN – a New Headache for Operators

OTTs Combining WebRTC with SD-WAN – a New Headache for Operators

SD-WAN strengthens the position of OTT hosted UC providers vs. the incumbent operators as it makes the operators’ advantage of owning the network less valuable. SD-WAN reduced the operational cost associated with providing hosted UC in high quality as it removes the need for MPLS. Combined with WebRTC, adding real-time communications as a feature to existing SaaS applications has never been easier.

3 Strategies for SD-WAN

3 Strategies for SD-WAN

MPLS is still pretty commonly used by enterprises, some use it for specific applications while others take it to the extreme and route all traffic of their branches to s central location. Service providers hit a jackpot with MPLS but this is now changing. 2 major forces are making MPLS less lucrative and eventually will kill it: MPLS price is going down; Enterprise requirements have changed

Topic of The Month: How Can WebRTC Applications Benefit From SyntaxNet NLU?

Technically WebRTC and SyntaxNet have nothing in common. What they do have in common is that Google again makes it easy to add capabilities, once in the hands of the rich and experts, as a feature into applications. Once this is possible, Natural Language Understanding (NLU) can be added also into WebRTC applications. How can WebRTC applications benefit from it?

SyntaxNet and WebRTC, It’s The Same Story All Over Again

Google is again taking a technology that was until now in the hands of the rich and experts making it a feature in any application. SyntaxNet will do the same to the complex technology of NLU. With SyntaxNet becoming a free to use open source, Google is doing to NLU what it did in 2011 to communications. Both WebRTC and NLU are technologies. They can be combined together

Clearing The Fog From The Apple WebRTC Relationship

While people have questioned the likelihood of Apple adding WebRTC anytime soon it is now clear to all that the WebRTC train has left the Apple planning station and is now parking at development. From the simple statement on Apple’s Webkit status page saying it is “In Development” it is still hard to understand the details. Our live Webinar & Q&A will answer some of them.

Topic of The Month: Do We Need Standards for WebRTC?

April 12, 2016 / in Markets & People / Add Comment

Topic of The Month: Do We Need Standards for WebRTC?

Learning from the SIP standard, implementations by vendors are in many cases diverted from the pure standard to proprietary versions of SIP thus requiring mediation between vendor environments. Which areas of WebRTC should be covered by the standards and which areas should be left for the vendors to decide on? What level of interoperability and compatibility do we want to have?

The End of Transcoding WebRTC Video Sessions

April 5, 2016 / in VoIP / 3 Comments

The End of Transcoding WebRTC Video Sessions

Google published the release notes of Chrome 50. It now supports H.264 (behind a flag). Google adds H.264 to Chrome. This was an expected addition to Chrome given the WebRTC Mandatory to Implement video codec decision at the IETF that both VP8 and H.264 should be supported by browsers. Does this put an end to the need for WebRTC video transcoding and to server side decode and encode?
