Instant messaging, presence and conferencing are getting a work out these days since Microsoft announced its Live Meeting service and rivals Lotus and others rushed to put the competitive spin on things. Now comes WiredRed, which has announced its ePop Web Conferencing Server that will ship before year-end. The server uses the same Real Time Routing Architecture that in underneath the ePoP server for instant messaging. The best part may be that this server is aimed at the mid-market and if priced right (pricing has not been announced) could bring conferencing services to the masses. The ePop Web Conferencing Server provides multi-point audio and synchronous video conferencing plus desktop, application and document sharing. It supports proprietary and industry standard audio and video codecs including GSM, MPEG4 and H.263. What's missing is support for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which will come next year.
