SAN FRANCISCO, CA and ATLANTA, GA — (Marketwired) — 06/28/13 — TokBox, a Telefónica Digital company, has won the Best WebRTC Tool Award for its OpenTok Platform.
The OpenTok Platform allows the development and management of commercial face-to-face applications, embeddable in any website or service. Launched as a Flash-based platform in 2010, OpenTok has pioneered the use of WebRTC in commercial applications, launching the first WebRTC Platform in 2012 and Mantis, a Cloud-based infrastructure that enables multi-party conversations, earlier this year.
TokBox unveiled a series of world-first advances at the WebRTC Conference and Expo that extend WebRTC into an enterprise-grade technology for video communication applications for the first time. The announcements included:
adds management capabilities for any OpenTok application, letting developers create a centralized controller that can listen to, query and respond to messages and events flowing through the application;
pre-configured tools to make it faster and easier to implement face-to-face video chat for customer service applications; and
OpenTok now dynamically shapes audio and video traffic to maximize the experience for every participant in a multi-point conversation.
