Enables 16 Simultaneous Video Windows and Extensive Real-Time Data
Collaboration in a Single Session for Unlimited Number of
Participants at Lower Bandwidth Thresholds Than Ever Before Arel
Communications and Software (NASDAQ:ARLC), technology leader in
universal voice, video and data Web communication for interactive
conferencing, collaboration and training applications, today
launched the newest version of the company's Arel Spotlight(TM)
conferencing and collaboration solution. Arel Spotlight II is a
robust solution for Web-based conferencing and collaboration
combining voice, video and data collaboration in a single software
solution that enhances communications, facilitates workgroup
collaboration and drives productivity in the enterprise. Arel
Spotlight II offers key features including new quality of service
(QoS) mechanisms, dynamic video bandwidth and interoperability with
heterogeneous networks and endpoints (SIP and H.323 end-points,
multipoint conferencing units (MCU), and PSTN and Satellite
networks). Arel has implemented a new Quality of Service (QoS)
system that manages the bandwidth utilization of the Spotlight II
in order to accommodate more complex application sharing while
enabling simultaneous audio and videoconferencing at lower
bandwidth thresholds than ever before. The QoS feature enables
Spotlight session participants to collaborate on larger, heavier
files in more sophisticated applications such as product life-cycle
management (PLM) applications that require significant resources;
all this with enhanced application response times. Arel Spotlight's
dynamic video bandwidth feature enables participants of varying
connection qualities to always receive the maximum quality
available on their network without compromising the video quality
of others. This capability ensures that broadband users leverage
the full bandwidth capacity of their network to receive the highest
quality videoconferencing experience possible even if low-bandwidth
users participate in the same conference - without compromising the
real-time document and application sharing capabilities. Although
Arel Spotlight II traditionally requires a PC, webcam and an
Internet connection to participate in a conference, the software's
flexible architecture allows participants to utilize a variety of
other endpoints and devices to connect to a Spotlight session.
Users can connect to an Arel Spotlight session through a telephone,
mobile phone, IP phone, PDA, and legacy videoconferencing system
over a hybrid of networks including IP, PSTN, H.323, SIP, and
Satellite. Deployed on-premise or through a service provider, Arel
Spotlight II works over a company's existing corporate network
(Intranet) and the Internet utilizing very little bandwidth.
Although Spotlight was designed from its first installment as being
extremely friendly to firewall and basic proxy servers, Spotlight
II is now enhanced to easily traverse even more secure proxy
servers without compromising network security and performance.
Optimizing video quality, from high-end broadcast quality for
broadband users to lower dial-up or mobile phone users, and using
wideband audio for near 'FM' quality, the solution enables
unlimited passive participants and 32 active audio/voice
participants with up to 16 video screens displayed in a single
meeting. Featuring new enhancements such as multi-lingual
capabilities and a customizable Web portal, Arel Spotlight II can
be tailored to meet any company's needs. Integrated with
Microsoft(R) Outlook, Live Communication Server (LCS) and Office
Communicator (MOC), users can schedule sessions or invite
participants to an ad-hoc meeting through their email or instant
messaging utility or a customized portal. Joining a multi-point
enabled video meeting is just done by clicking on html Web link.
Built on a standards-based Windows architecture (.NET), Arel
Spotlight II can be integrated within other corporate applications
or extended to accommodate new features and capabilities.
"Spotlight II enables people to communicate in natural, productive,
and efficient ways that replicate the in-person meeting
experience," said Philippe Szwarc, CEO of Arel Communications and
Software. "This new version enables more video participants and
complex application sharing with less bandwidth and fewer resources
than ever before coupled with a large variety of access methods.
Arel Spotlight II makes face-to-face global communication possible
and facilitates and accelerates workplace collaboration to meet
today's and tomorrow's customer needs." Comprised of three
applications, Spotlight Meeting, Spotlight Webinar and Spotlight
