Japan's telecoms giant, SoftBank has selected Dialogic PowerMedia XMS software media server as a core network element of their new multimedia web conferencing solution, supporting SoftBank’s enterprise collaboration needs for video conferencing and chat room capabilities.
The WebRTC-based web conferencing application will replace aging legacy video equipment and services for employees across their various divisions and brands. SoftBank has currently rolled out this solution to internal stakeholders with plans to make this commercially available in the near future.
According to Dialogic, the PowerMedia XMS is a highly scalable, software-only media server that enables standards-based, real-time multimedia communications solutions for IMS, MRF, enterprise, and WebRTC applications on premise or in the cloud.

Additionally, Dialogic PowerMedia XMS delivers HD voice and video codecs with additional features like automated speech recognition (ASR) and text to speech (TTS) to support future capabilities we have planned, along with facial recognition and other advanced intelligent features.

To support such scaling requirements, SoftBank is utilizing Dialogic’s patent pending ‘dynamic video encoder sharing’ technology to reduce compute resources by 30-50% thus reaching far beyond typical conference densities.
