WPNE Presents It's MeetingPoint Server At Internet World April 14-16 White Pine Software First to Integrate Streaming Technology With Multipoint Group Conferencing Through MeetingPoint H.323 Server Business Wire Spring Internet World 99 NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE) Streaming Integration Enables Live Interactive Conferences to Be Broadcast En Masse, and Allows for Recording and Playback On-Demand for Meetings and Classes White Pine Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: WPNE), a leading provider of multimedia conferencing applications for the Internet and intranets, today announced the integration of streaming media technology into its MeetingPoint(tm) conference server, which is the first such integration between streaming technology and H.323 conferencing. MeetingPoint is a standards-based software product that enables real-time multipoint group conferencing over an IP network using the H.323 protocol. With the integration of streaming media, MeetingPoint will be able to broadcast a live interactive conference to hundreds or even thousands of people using a streaming media server and player such as Cisco(R) IPTV(R), Microsoft(R) NetShow(tm) Server and Windows Media Player, or RealNetworks(tm) RealServer(tm) and RealPlayer(R). It also enables live interactive meetings or classes to be recorded and played back on demand. White Pine will be demonstrating this integrated technology at the Internet World trade show in Los Angeles, April 14-16, in booth no. 958. The streaming media integration will be available commercially in the next release of MeetingPoint slated for June delivery. This will be the first time that H.323 group conferencing and streaming media have been merged into an integrated product offering, making it possible for customers to easily take advantage of the most appropriate combination of technologies for their application scenario. MeetingPoint allows small-group interaction between clients such as Microsoft Netmeeting, Intel ProShare, and White Pine CU-SeeMe Pro. Now the content of a fully-interactive MeetingPoint conference can be captured and streamed out to another set of users who are observers. This combination of technologies allows a company to broadcast a board meeting or executive briefing session out to its entire staff. It allows a virtual press conference to be held with a company spokesperson, an industry analyst, and customer reference making an interactive presentation which is broadcast out to participating writers, editors, and analysts. It allows an interactive Internet talkshow to broadcast a panel discussion out to viewers. It also allows a training session to be taught in which experts address a topic and their content is streamed out to students all over the world. And because the interactive conference is translated into streaming media, it can be recorded and played back. This means an executive can review the contents of a meeting, or a student can go back and view a class that he missed. "The integrated streaming functionality in MeetingPoint opens up a whole new world of applications, both in the corporate and educational sectors," said Roger Wallman, product manager for White Pine Software. "Now real-time, interactive content of any sort can be made available to a virtually unlimited audience. It greatly enhances the breadth and reach of a variety of communications over the Internet or a corporate intranet." MeetingPoint was the first conference server software to implement the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) H.323 standard for conferencing over packet networks. It enables the tens of millions of users who have installed H.323 desktop clients such as Intel TeamStation and ProShare(tm), Microsoft NetMeeting(tm), PictureTel LiveLAN(tm), and White Pine CU-SeeMe(R) Pro to participate in full multi-point group conferences for departmental meetings, partner support, corporate training, and other business-critical applications. MeetingPoint has been awarded several industry awards, including product of the year awards most recently from both CTI magazine and Internet Telephony magazine.
