By releasing an H.323 and SIP Gateway, Tixeo allows any hardware-based room system to join a multi-party HD video conference over WorkSpace3D. Tixeo solves this well-known interoperability issue in the videoconferencing market, and customers will not only value their existing equipments and investments, but also increase productivity. Tixeo's HD videoconferencing solution now supports Polycom, Cisco Tandberg, and RADVISION MCU-based systems.

Solutions providing interoperability with H.323 and SIP endpoints have been on the market for awhile. However, they are difficult to use because they require opening many ports on each participant's network.

Tixeo's H.323 and SIP Gateway makes it a lot easier, as WorkSpace3D users don't need to change their network security policy to call a legacy room system. Indeed, as the gateway is on the server side, in the cloud for SaaS subscriptions, or on premise, WorkSpace3D users benefit from Tixeo's HTTPS tunneling technology while being over a video conference with legacy room systems.

Ease of use is a core value for Tixeo; thus each legacy room system that joins a WorkSpace3D video conference is identified with the real name of the user and not an IP address. In both models, the H.323 and SIP gateway is accessible to Tixeo's customers. It is included free of charge on SaaS subscriptions and ís available as an optional gateway Appliance for on-premise solutions.
