Video Conferencing

Despite the importance of video conferencing to business life it was not until the advent of 3G networks that this service could take its proper place in the catalogues of mobile operators. As 3G networks spread, statistics shows a gradual and steady increase in revenue generated from mobile video conferencing. The ability to conduct life-like meetings through the handset screen has a tremendous impact on business productivity and business culture - so much so that video conferencing is widely regarded as the most prominent business service to be provided over 3G mobile networks.

Ethrix mobile Video conferencing solution offers a simple automatic mechanism to arrange and conduct video conference calls. All you have to do is dial the Video Conference service number and select the conference call attendees from your phone book. Then, you can either perform the call immediately or schedule the call. At the designated time the system either calls the attendees directly, or sends them an SMS requesting them to call a specified number. During the call there are several options; you can add further attendees to the call, attendees can be muted, and there is an option to instruct the service to record the call. A link to the recorded call file will be then sent to your e-mail address.
