This product was done starting from 07, and was largely discontinued by 13, lasting 6 years. At that time, mainly in our company's media server focus on video, and video applications, but also on the application of video conferencing is more extensive. So in 07, I recruited a few brothers and started to develop a conferencing server based on the media server
companies in the past few years, in the video conference above the energy is the most, each year at least 20 people's input, mainly divided into 4 groups: hardware platform group, Media server group, Application Server group, test group, the entire product by the research and development leader. Key milestones:
-
- 08 years, the first single, Henan Netcom, small millions of of the list
- 09 completed the Mobile Research Institute test;
- 10 try to develop high-definition conference terminal, and become the sole partner of ASB, Ericsson and NSN (video conferencing)
- 11 completion of high-definition conference media server development; China Telecom 1/3 Provincial video conferencing system
- 12 launched the development of high-definition conference terminal, launch the development of software video conferencing terminal
- 13 End of development
- Results
this project caught up with the operator NGN and IMS construction time, took the operator's NGN and IMS business level more market share, but NGN and IMS business promotion is poor, also directly led to our video conferencing business audience is too narrow, expanding indefinitely. the product specifications and functions of our conference system are developed in full accordance with the specifications of the operators, and the functions are numerous and miscellaneous. In order to maintain compatibility, the equipment of different manufacturers need to access, signaling and media needs to be produced according to specifications, resulting in poor experience, in the Internet market behind and network video conferencing manufacturerswithout their own hardware terminal, in the enterprise high-end market price competitiveness weakuse of Media server, high cost, in the low-end enterprise market and network video conferencing manufacturers can not competeso our products in addition to the operator a bit of market share, in the rest of the competition is very weak. based on these, it also takes into account:the cost of technology transformation is large andno accumulation of the market, no accumulation of customers, video conferencing into the Red Sea, product upgrade risk is too large, so we terminated the video conferencing products.
from the project level, the product is not a failure, his income to maintain the company's initial years of operation and expansion, but from the product level, ultimately defeated the vast number of network video conferencing manufacturers, and eventually stopped the development. In addition, in the subdivision of the location is also relatively vague, but also through a few detours. Video conferencing concept is larger, broken down, or there are some different directions: such as high-end hardware video conferencing system, such as Polycomm, Cisco, KEDA, etc. low-end network video conferencing systems, such as Sequoia trees, high-quality products for unified communications development And it is similar to our company to develop the operator conference system (for Enterprise, and network video conferencing system directly competition). In the development process, these several directions we have tried, put more and less, the market has no clue, research and development are halfway.
I've been through a failure. Products and Projects (vi): Experience a poor video conferencing system
