VideoMost to Highlight Growth in Video Communications at ITEXPO

By Janice McDuffee, TMC Copy Editor

If you’re looking to learn about developments in next generation communications with a particular interest in the proliferation of video, be sure to catch Paul Baron (News - Alert), vice president, North America forVideoMost SPIRIT Technologies, who will be speaking in two sessions at ITEXPO East 2011.

Baron calls SPIRIT Technologies the “best known company that no one has ever heard of,” with clients like iPhone, HTC, Samsung (News - Alert) and Skype utilizing its services. The company that powers over 200 million devices a day sprung VideoMost one year ago for companies that wanted a full blown interface, video conferencing solution. Baron said that video conferencing will be the next hurdle over audio conferencing for device support—as video is little-by-little taking over with the addition of cameras on mobile devices.

In addition to Baron’s speeches, his presence at ITEXPO (News - Alert) also gives the opportunity for the company to learn about what their customers are looking for. “Whether it’s a large company or a start up, we want to know what features are important to them.”

In the year that VideoMost has been up and running, it already has customer deployments with a few active trials in the Middle East, Russia and China. Licensees from Spirit are looking at VideoMost so it already has customers like China Telecom (News - Alert).

Baron said the company believes that video conferencing and collaboration is a great opportunity for service providers and application developers to retain high value customers.

You can catch Baron tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. at the session, “The Millenial Generation is Coming – Are you Ready to Support it?” and also on Thursday at 2:00 p.m. at the session “Maintaining Service Quality while introducing New Next Generation Services.”
