Applied Global Technologies (AGT) has launched a solution for enterprise and government workers looking to facilitate video conferencing between Windows PCs and Apple iOS devices like iPad and iPhone.

Extending into standards-based HD systems from Cisco and Polycom, PerfectMeetings Video is immediately available as a free service for 2-way video meetings, for regular users.

Secure cloud-based meetings rooms that can host expanded 4-way and 9-way meetings can be purchased by professional organizations.

Based on AGT’s ENCORE UC Video platform (adopted by F1000 and Government as a gateway to mobile devices and handhelds from traditional video conference rooms), the PerfectMeetings Video cloud service also includes proprietary tunneling technology.

AGT believes PerfectMeetings is able to bridge the gap between Apple portables and Microsoft Windows PCs, allowing professionals to meet and collaborate without the limitations imposed by the specifics of each device, or the networks they run on.

Typical cloud services only enable internet-connected users and typically exclude participants connecting from inside their corporate firewall.

“Conventional approaches require the installation of costly specialized hardware at every site to allow this level of interoperability, while other desktop video services such as Skype are typically restricted,” said Ben Atha, CTO.

“Our design works over standard, open web ports, enabling both simplicity of service delivery while maintaining enterprise security,” Atha added.

The PerfectMeetings desktop client doesn’t require a client install and supports secure SSL for desktop and H.235 for professional video room systems.

According to AGT, the cloud meeting rooms include storage for presentations, recording and streaming of meetings, as well as live desktop sharing.

PerfectMeetings Video includes on-line chat and 800# support, unlike other desktop video services that are do-it-yourself, said AGT.
