Windows versions, Mac
or other Operating
Systems

complement of desk
phone, no need to
replace with new
videophones
• Hosted options provide
a monthly per-user
charge with no
investment on PBX
• WebRTC is cloud-ready
from inception

WebRTC – A perfect fit for cloud-based UC
! Unified Communication Capabilities and
WebRTC gateway can be hosted in the
cloud
! Integration with existing PBXs via SIP
Trunks
! Allows also other features such as
mobile UC clients for smartphones and
tablets
! Makes the web another endpoint for the
enterprise user
Gateway
App Server
SIP HTTP
Users can choose to use the
device that better suits them
at any precise moment
11. 11 GENBAND Confidential and Proprietary
WebRTC – A Secure Solution
! Media is secured with DTLS-SRTP
as a mandatory requirement on
WebRTC standards
! Key negotiation occurs in the media
path, which requires “pro-active”
media interception detectable by
the end point
! User Authentication can be
federated to meet Enterprise
Security Requirements
! Client Applications use HTML5 and
Javascript API calls that can be
performed over HTTPS

The driving need for WebRTC
1000x
Developers
Rapid
Standards
Web
Speed
Immersive
VS.SIP VoIP
High Barrier to Entry
• Need to know a lot to set up a call end to end
• Thousands of SIP knowledgeable people in the world
• Fewer Experts
Few functions can be implemented
without writing new standards
• Need client(s) and server(s) to support same feature
• MANY people needed to agree on standards and
process takes too long
Came from the Telcos for the Telcos
• standard interconnection approach used because fee
structure and regulations required it to be that way
Never Became Immersive
Low Barrier to Entry
• Tens of millions of web developers can
access and create communications
Only the browser vendors
need to agree on standards
Feature rich clients need only
a browser…
…ending the “app
store” walled garden…
…and PC Client
compatibility issues
