Tixeo promotes the deployment of secure video conferencing with Smart Meeting Grid

With this technology, The company offers its clients the possibility of installing their videoconferencing solution by deploying a multipoint network.

As a European reference in secure videoconferencing, Tixeo has presented its SMG technology (Smart Meeting Grid), that introduces intelligence into your system to automatically connect users to the nearest communication servers.

Thanks to SMG technology, Tixeo customers can configure their network of communication servers in the regions of their choice. This multipoint infrastructure now includes intelligent management that automatically selects the active meeting servers closest to users, significantly reducing latency and providing employees with an optimal communication experience.

The development of this technology responds to the needs expressed by international groups, who simply want to deploy Tixeo video conferencing on a global scale and benefit from higher performance in communication flows (audio, video and data).

As Maribel Poyato explains, country manager title, “we were proposing this type of multipoint architecture to bring users closer to the communications servers. Our priority was to reduce delays (latency), which may be too long with remote sites. We now offer an infrastructure that remains easy to deploy, but it has real intelligence that automatically selects the point of presence closest to the user”.

This innovation significantly simplifies the procedure: “the administrator no longer has to manually select the appropriate communication server. A simplicity that is also found in the flow of communication: each point of presence communicates only over HTTPS”, Poyato points out.

Another advantage of SMG technology is that it integrates high service resistance. If a server goes down, another will take over automatically, ensuring continuity of service, since it is designed to adapt to customer infrastructures, allowing them to maintain full control over the security of their communications.

The Orange example

The adaptability and high level of security that Tixeo offers have led to the Orange Group to incorporate Tixeo secure video conferencing into your collaboration tools, as your employees sometimes exchange confidential information during online meetings.

For this, A communications server has been placed on the company's internal network to fully control the security of exchanges between employees. Video conferencing remains isolated from the rest of the company and the outside world. Employees may also be required to communicate with users outside the company..

To secure these exchanges, a communications server is automatically selected, located in an external private cloud, to relay communication flows between internal and external servers. This organization also allows employees to use their smartphone or tablet for video conferencing from outside via the Internet..

Tixeo secure video conferencing solution integrates end-to-end encryption into multipoint meetings, even when communication flows (audio, video, data) pass through the SMG points of presence. The French publisher currently offers the only certified secure video conferencing solution (CSPN) and qualified by the TRAP (French national agency for the security of information systems), whose offer has been awarded the seal France Cybersecurity in January 2019.
