Real-Time Communications Framework

GÉANT and NORDUnet jointly ran the EU-level tender to provide unmanaged (on-premise) and hybrid-managed video conferencing and real-time communications to National Research & Education Networks (NRENs) and their institutions.

All vendors were required to fulfill these mandatory technical requirements:

Clientless access
VC room connectors
Multi-tenancy
SAML2 WebSSO
Standard-based API
Hardware-agnostic
Recording option
Professional services/software support

The framework includes only licenses for software products and support, and includes no hardware or end-user devices. On-premise hardware and/or virtual infrastructure must be provided by users.

Features and pricing can be seen on the Wiki (federated access required).
