Cisco is extending its web conferencing and collaboration
capabilities to the Apple iPhone 3G device with its Cisco WebEx
Meeting Center and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace technology.
A new
Cisco
WebEx meetings iPhone application, which is available for free
download from the AppStore, allows users to click to join and
actively collaborate in CiscoWebEx meetings.
With the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center application on the iPhone,
users can view what is being shared, see the meeting participant
list, see the active speaker and chat with other meeting
participants.
The online meeting
experience gives users the ability to take advantage of
simultaneous web and audio conferencing capabilities from Cisco on
both 3G mobile and 802.11 wireless (Wi-Fi) networks.
The system supports multiple telephony configurations, including
software as a service-based telephony from Cisco WebEx Meeting
Center, premises-based telephony from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace,
or telephony from Cisco's service provider partners.
The download is free from the AppStore. Users need to have
current subscriptions to the WebEx services to schedule or host a
meeting.
