JOHANNESBURG – SMALL and medium businesses are set to benefit a cost effective video conferencing solution an integrated information and communications technology provider has launched.
The offering, VoxAir, is the invention of Vox.
VoxAir, a web browser based video conferencing solution is ideally suited to those organisations that want to take a bold step beyond just voice in a cost effective manner.
“It was important to ensure that our solution was vendor independent – enabling integration and use across any formal conferencing equipment anywhere in the world, without the need to invest in costly video conferencing bridge equipment,” says Mauritz van Wyk, senior product manager: Visual Communications at Vox.
He says VoxAir has been designed to work in conjunction with all video conferencing platforms, including the large-scale hardware driven systems typically found in large enterprise businesses.
Ideal for the mobile workforce, VoxAir can be used on laptops, desktops and mobile devices for non-office bound employees.
Pricing is provided per unique contact number which can accommodate between four and twelve concurrent participants at any time.
“Video conferencing has become a buzzword – everybody wants to try it out. Locally, one of the biggest inhibitors of video conferencing adoption, was connectivity,” saus van Wyk.
“This has largely been overcome, but business owners do not want to spend thousands on hardware for a single boardroom to enable the technology in their business.”
VoxAir is projected to offer a cost effective, cloud-based, mobile-enabled service for smaller to medium businesses.
It has Skype for Business integration as a standard and does not require downloads. It is plugin-free.
