RCom to Offer Mobile Conferencing @ Rs 99/month
Techtree News Staff, Aug 13, 2009 1437 hrs ISTWill support both its CDMA and GSM networks
Reliance Communications is undertaking the nationwide commercial roll-out of mobile conferencing service that will support both its CDMA and GSM networks.
The company has tied up with US-based Kodiak Networks to offer the solution through its IP packet based Real-time Exchange System. Kodiak will also enable Reliance to offer two key conferencing services - Mobile Instant Conferencing and Mobile Scheduled Conferencing.
Unlike traditional conferencing, this service does not need manual intervention for the conference to be set up. RCom customers will be able to establish a conference call amongst a group of nine contacts from the phone address book with a single click, the company said.
The company plans to offer this service for Rs 99 per month initially. The service will be accessible through R-World and supported by all handset clients including Blackberry, BREW, Java, Symbian and Windows Mobile operating system with over-the-air download ability.
The Mobile Instant Conferencing service will provide immediate dial-out mobile conferencing, including one-touch mobile call origination from the handset contact list. Business colleagues, consumers and social networking groups can instantly join a conference call from any combination of wireless, or wireline phones, local or long distance, the company said.
The Mobile Scheduled Conferencing will allow users to schedule conference calls directly from their mobile handset. Auto-SMS reminders are sent to attendees at the conference start time. Participants can join or rejoin the conference with a single click and are instantly auto-authenticated without personal identification numbers (PIN). All participants can see who is on the conference call, a company release stated.
