Description

Accord Networks is the leading manufacturer of networking products that enable Rich Media Communication, including real-time, interactive voice, visual and data collaboration, over IP, ATM, and ISDN networks. Accord's V2IPERA product family includes network switches, conference bridges, network gateways, protocol gateways and management systems that make it easy for two or more people to participate in a Rich Media Communication session without having to know the technical characteristics of their network or their video- or voice-enabled system. These systems today could be an Internet telephone, regular telephone, video-PC or videoconferencing system. When integrated into a network solution, Accord's products are uniquely positioned to solve many problems faced by network designers today such as dealing with multiple speeds and feeds, multiple protocols, multiple networks and QoS issues. All of Accord's solutions are managed and controlled under a common management suite. Accord's solutions are used both by end users and by service providers who are offering outsourced solutions to end users. Service providers offering these services include RBOCs, CLECs, ISPs and ASPs.

As well as being highly active on the industry bodies that drive new standards, Accord has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to lead the industry with its own technology. For example, Accord's advanced transcoding technology is an industry first and is the underlying mechanism that makes Rich Media calls as easy to make as a telephone call. Other leading features such as allowing the caller to modify their screen layout to simultaneously display other callers' video streams and collaborative data windows further enhance the user's productivity.
