Tata Communications India Launched Jamvee - The multi-device video conferencing app

Tata Communications, the Indian global telecom company based in Mumbai, has launched a new on-demand video conferencing service called Jamvee. Tata's Jamvee is a a multi-device platform which does not rely on the internet, but is built on Tata Communications’ Tier 1 network and delivered through the company’s fibre optic cable ring around the world. Addressing the common quality and interoperability issues that Tata Group's employees in India face on a regular basis while they are at a video conference, this new product called 'Jamvee' is now your one stop solution to make a multi-person business call from home, your office or even on route to the airport.

In order to increase productivity, today’s mobile workforce is turning more and more to video conferencing. They have been mostly using the over-the-top (OTT) video communication solutions. But now, with BYOD or bring-your-own-device culture fast taking pace, you have laptops, tablets, smartphones and telepresence suites all allow up to 46 users to take part in a video meeting from any location worldwide. Along with support for Windows, Mac OSX, and iOS devices, there is Android support following in August 2013. Users of Microsoft Lync and other video conferencing software, as well as those with access to standard video conferencing systems such as Immersive Telepresence, can also meet using Jamvee. Users can just download the Jamvee app from Apple app store or Jamvee portal.


Just like you use any other audio-visual conference tool, you can access host and participant PINs on the Jamvee portal, and send the participant PIN to people you want to meet with. Everyone taking part in the meeting just dials the same number and enters their PIN to join the meeting. Jamvee also provides a self-service portal for the professional user needing a personal video service. Simply use your credit card to purchase minutes and off you go (billed on a per-minute basis).

John Hayduk, Tata Communications, President and CTO, says, "Lack of interoperability, consistency of experience per location, complicated price plans and the need for third-party reservations have stood in the way of truly global enterprise collaboration. Jamvee overcomes these barriers by making video conferences easy and on-demand, while seamlessly bringing together all video platforms, room systems and endpoints in a simple, as-you-need it and elastic pre-packaged service. It's so easy to use, instant and affordable. It's what enterprises have been asking for. "

"Jamvee is an excellent tool to conduct productive and collaborative video meetings with clients who are based at multiple locations across continents. The ease of using video services on the move and on any device or platform, makes Jamvee highly preferred by global users" says Mandar Marulkar, Head of IT, KPIT Cummins. Tata Communications' mission is to create the world's richest open video ecosystem. The company’s portfolio includes business services, cloud-based video services and the world's widest-reaching Telepresence network, to name but a few. Tata Communications’ offering culminates under the Global Meeting Alliance™ (GMA), an open business video ecosystem initiative.
