RCom's mobile conferencing service will enable its customers to establish a conference call amongst a group of nine contacts from the phone address book with a single click. This service does not need manual intervention for the conference to be set up, according to the company.
The company plans to offer this service for Rs 99/month. The service will be accessible through R-World and supported by all handset clients including Blackberry, BREW, Java, Symbian and Windows Mobile Operating System with over-the-air download ability.
As a partner, Kodiak Networks will offer the solution through its IP packet based Real-time Exchange System. Through this tie-up, Kodiak will enable RCom to offer two key conferencing services -- mobile instant conferencing and mobile scheduled conferencing.
Commenting on the new service roll-out, Krishna Durbha, head, VAS, Reliance Communications, said, "Our mobile conferencing service is a cost-effective, efficient and convenient solution that will prove to be a definite enabler for enhanced productivity to enterprises customers. Availability of mobile scheduled conferencing for prepaid segment will lead to new revenue upsides for Reliance Communication."
The mobile instant conferencing service will provide immediate dial-out mobile conferencing, including one-touch mobile call origination from the handset contact list. Business colleagues, consumers and social networking groups can instantly join a conference call from any combination of wireless, or wireline phones, local or long distance.
The mobile scheduled conferencing will allow users to schedule conference calls directly from their mobile handset. Auto-SMS reminders are sent to attendees at the conference start time. Participants can join or rejoin the conference with a click and are instantly auto-authenticated without personal identification numbers (PIN). All participants can see who is on the conference call.
