Stretto™ Collaboration addresses major user experience gap by uniting everyday communications; Seamlessly integrates voice, video, messaging and presence with collaboration over any network, from any device, anywhere
Vancouver, BC, Canada — March 05, 2018 — CounterPath Corporation (NASDAQ: CPAH) (TSX: PATH), a global provider of award-winning, over-the-top (OTT) Unified Communications (UC) solutions for enterprises and carriers, today announced it is elevating the hosted team collaboration space and filling a key gap in the UC user experience with the release of its new cloud-based Stretto Collaboration solution. Stretto Collaboration is a highly secure, customizable and standards-based solution that builds on CounterPath’s software-as-a-service strategy. It extends the award-winning CounterPath Bria softphone experience by allowing customers to add HD video, voice, messaging, presence, screen sharing and collaboration to their existing UC deployment without requiring any changes to their current communications environment. It can host hundreds of voice and video connections per session and users can join from any device, leveraging Bria or a web browser with a single click. “Stretto Collaboration addresses a major gap in the market by allowing end users to use a Bria softphone for all UC services across geographically-dispersed internal and external teams,” said Todd Carothers, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at CounterPath. “Leveraging the user-friendly Bria interface, Stretto Collaboration was designed with the goal of mirroring how users actually want to work and interact. Rather than requiring users to install additional software and plugins, or forcing the IT department to significantly update their communications deployment, Stretto Collaboration enables customers to utilize their preferred devices and leverage their existing infrastructure, reducing complexity and cost. Supporting desktop, mobile and web-based users and leveraging the Stretto Provisioning service, the offering provides maximum utility in an easy to deploy method, in addition to providing a rich and seamless user experience.” Building upon CounterPath’s Bria user experience, which delivers integrated voice, video, messaging, presence and screen sharing, the Stretto Collaboration solution also offers:
- The ability to manage video settings ‘on the fly’ – video layout, camera selection and video quality can be changed quickly during a live session
- Simple and convenient one-click features, including
- Click to join and immediately initiate a multiparty audio or video call
- Instantly screen share with any participant
- Toggle button to lock or unlock the session with a PIN
- Ability to add participants directly into the conference
- Rich host capabilities – view and manage participant capabilities such as assign video, presenter control, turn mic on/off, room-wide muting and unmuting, and lock participants from changing mute setting
- Server-based HD audio and video recording with cloud storage support
- Team messaging
- Audio and video conferencing of up to 200 participants
