Temasys, the Singapore-based, Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) global startup unveiled Skylink, a WebRTC-powered platform built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for businesses and developers. Werner Vogels, CTO at Amazon, hosted the launch of the platform at the AWS re:Invent Startup Launch 2014 event.
Skylink provides tools and infrastructure needed to integrate WebRTC into devices, applications, websites and browsers. According to Temasys, the company has successfully implemented WebRTC solutions for Fortune 500 customers in video conferencing, integrated digital media and social media. Temasys claims big success for its WebRTC free plugin for Internet Explorer and Safari, which saw over 100,000 downloads in fewer than 100 days and has accumulated several million minutes of usage.
Temasys said that it has launched a commercial version of the plugin, aimed at service providers and application developers looking to add access to WebRTC-based solutions for users of Internet Explorer and Safari. An amalgamation of low-level, open-source APIs, the technology will redefine how real-time communications will be conducted on the Web, enabling browsers and applications to embed video, audio and data-exchange functions, added Temasys.
