TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW:
GTS Pacific brings the power of high quality interactive rich media communications to Enterprise users at the office, at home or on the move.
The elive2u communicator desktop client allows users to communicate more effectively by extending traditional conferencing methods to include audio, video, data streaming and file sharing on demand. With "elive2u™ Communicator", all participants can watch, listen, speak, and present application media to the meeting.
Virtual meetings - Audio or Video can be one on one, one to many (participants do not see each other) and many to many (all participants see each other). The number of participants is not limited by the application itself. This is determined by the organization's available network bandwidth and the participants PC performance (CPU and Memory).
At the heart of this technology is an architecture that consists of Java-based PC clients that interact with the elive2u messenger server components. Although the PC clients are written mostly in Java, there are also native C++ modules that connect with the audio and video layer of the windows operating system to capture audio, video, data and screen image data for screen sharing.
The client not only provides for presence detection and online status provision but also allows users to transmit and receive real-time audio and video, share desktop
applications and send or receive instant messages with both internal LAN (behind the corporate firewall) and external clients (Internet and VPN Intranet) over IP based networks.
The elive2u Communicator server infrastructure has the following requirements for installing and setting to work the Enterprise Edition messaging and proxy servers on a corporate WAN/LAN :
· A Messenger Server software application, providing client connectivity, presence detection, online status broadcast, text messaging and call connection messaging for the Enterprise community.
· A GTS Pacific proprietary Internal Proxy server software application (residing inside the corporate firewall) providing the internal public and private address interfaces to the LAN clients.
· A GTS Pacific proprietary External Proxy server software application (residing outside the corporate firewall) providing the external public and private address interfaces.
The elive2u Communicator Enterprise Edition PC desktop client application uses a proprietary variant of the Jabber protocol to establish a text, voice or video call between other elive2u Communicator clients. The GTS Pacific proxy servers manage the audio and video connections and routes the appropriate audio and video streams between both "Internal" and "External" elive2u Communicator clients. Both the server and client uses a proprietary variant of the Jabber protocol with the elive2u Communicator Messenger server to establish a text, voice or video call between other clients. The GTS Pacific proxy servers manage the audio and video connections and routes the appropriate audio and video streams between clients.
To protect the company's intellectual property an International (PCT) Patent Application has been filed and granted as Application No. PCT/AU02/0005. International Research Report issued in April 2002 concluded that the claims of the PCT Application were novel and involved inventive steps over prior art documents currently filed. In addition, GTS Pacific Pty Ltd has been granted Australian Petty Patent No.746320 in respect to the claims embodied in the PCT Application. Additional PCT filings are currently in progress to protect the technology and application methods integrated into the enterprise feature set
GTS Pacific Pty Ltd will continue to invest in research and development to ensure its technology platform and architecture remains a world leader in providing software based Rich Media Communication applications, enabling interactive voice, data and video technology and related services over IP-based networks.
"elive2u™ Communicator" utilizes an optimized software approach enabling rich media communication fulfillment and is aligned to the rapid improvement gains in the processing power and hyper-threading capabilities of processor chip sets installed in fixed and mobile IP devices today, including PDA's and mobile phones. Users can now enjoy multiple applications running from their desktop and do not have to upload collaboration files to a meeting point for sharing with other colleagues. Every action is driven from the client user interface.
