Banco Columbia S.A. Invests in Surf Video Conferencing Solution

Banco Columbia integrates Surf video conferencing technology to improve communications between its 60 branches spread throughout Argentina.
Banco Columbia sees highly secured inter-bank communications playing a key role in improving customer service and reducing overhead business expenses.

Yokneam, Israel (November, 2016) – Surf Communication Solutions, a developer of high capacity, real-time multimedia processing and enabling technologies, has announced an agreement for supplying its Orion HMP video conferencing solution to Banco Columbia S.A., a commercial bank headquartered in Buenos Aires with over 60 branches spread throughout Argentina.

As part of the agreement, Banco Columbia will outfit all of their bank branches with Surf’s WebRTC compatible video conferencing solution. The plug-and-play Orion HMP is the first video conferencing solution that supports both legacy and next-gen deployments, enabling financial organizations and enterprise to quickly outfit secure and high-quality video conferencing for all codecs and protocols without having to overhaul their existing IT infrastructure.

Surf’s Orion HMP is a software-based solution that leverages the processing power of a COTS Intel server GPU to process up to 90% more data per server, enabling it to provide users with 1080p/4k video resolution with latency of under 60 FPS. Of significance to Banco Columbia and other monetary institutions, Orion HMP operates on top of the internal server, enabling all the benefits of web-browser access without any risk of data leakage.

Represented by Provetel, a leading IT integrator and distributor in Argentina, and Provetel’s integrator VOXSUR, Surf made the short list of potential providers by demonstrating its ability to facilitate high-quality calls between legacy SIP, H.323 infrastructure and next-gen WebRTC. Furthermore, Surf’s software-based architecture enables Orion HMP to be priced significantly lower than traditional room-based systems.

Diego Salomon, VP telecommunications for Banco Columbia commented, “The bank was seeking an easy to integrate video conferencing platform that would enable multi-user access at each bank location over WebRTC protocol. Our initial criteria in the tender were secure communications with a high quality call experience, content sharing and whiteboard. However, we chose Surf, Provetel and VOXSUR after being impressed with their professionalism, and having found the product to have exceptionally low latency, the most competitive pricing and the greatest adaptation to Internet based calling.”

Ariel Linker, Surf’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing commented: “Surf supports the financial industry with ultra-secured communications over the WebRTC model. The installation at Banco Columbia represents another successful installment within the financial sector, and cements Surf’s place as the ideal solution for banks and investment houses seeking secure communications while not compromising on flexibility and quality.

Vertical Communications selects Surf HMP to power its new virtual IP-PBX

Vertical chooses Surf HMP as the media processing engine for its new virtual IP-PBX. Vertical anticipates fast time to market, enhanced product range and improved operating efficiency with Surf’s NFV-enabling solution.

Yokneam, Israel (March, 2016) – Surf Communication Solutions (www.surfsolutions.com), a developer of high capacity, real-time multimedia processing and enabling technologies for the telecommunications industry has announced its Surf HMP media processing platform being chosen by Vertical Communications® (www.vertical.com) for its virtual IP-PBX.

As the successful deployment of new Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies require provision for the latest voice and UC codecs and standards, they also impose the need for legacy support in what is projected to be a long transition period, in addition to seamless interoperability with incumbent PSTN and SIP legacy networks. Vertical Communications has chosen Surf HMP, a media processing platform that handles all media-related tasks in a virtual environment; including modern and legacy codec transcoding, messaging, call recording, large-scale conferencing, legacy fax processing, encryption and a world of additional functionality.

Developed by a veteran team with over 20 years’ experience in voice and video processing, Surf HMP is a scalable and robust media processing platform that meets the needs of both small-scale, as well as large virtualized and non-virtualized deployments. As Surf HMP’s unique system architecture is fully scalable for growth, in addition to making optimized use of the CPU multiple cores and hyper-threads, it is the premier solution today for users seeking to take advantage of Network Function Virtualization capabilities by virtualizing their activities, lowering OPEX and improving time to market.

“As we evaluated various technology vendors to help virtualize our IP-PBX, we recognized it was critical to partner with a company that offered both a dependable infrastructure and a compelling business model,” said Bobby Mohanty, Vertical’s senior vice president and general manager for products. “We’ve had a close relationship with Surf for many years, and have come to appreciate the value that it delivers. Surf HMP’s JSON APIs are extremely easy to use, which helps us achieve an extremely short time to market. In addition, Surf’s flexible licensing models and platform scalability enables us to manage costs as we look to satisfy the needs of our diverse customer base.”

“Telecom providers are seeking a one-stop-shop solution to fully address all their multimedia needs. By facilitating HD voice & video processing across any codec or platform in a single server, and including an advanced API development kit, Surf HMP enables our clients to focus their activities on creating innovative UC solutions which benefit their customers while increasing corporate revenues,” explained Surf CEO, Mr. Avi Fisher.

Ariel Linker, Surf’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing commented: “We are very pleased to be expanding our business cooperation with Vertical. Surf HMP is in many respects an enabling technology that brings with it the business justification for service providers upgrading to NFV/SDN and WebRTC infrastructure. As Surf HMP can be licensed as a media-only or as a media & signaling platform, for voice only or voice & video, Vertical now has a dependable and scalable backend that enables near-complete flexibility in their business model and product offering.”
