TANDBERG Entrypoint

Simplified Video Access to Organizational Resources

The TANDBERG Entrypoint is a network device that enables simpler video access into an organization through intuitive menu systems. One main address or number can be distributed to customers and partners, allowing instant access to specific resources within the enterprise. Ad-hoc accessibility means no advance planning from IT is required to enable video users outside of your network to connect with you.

Connect with the world around you

Organizations continue to struggle with simple ways to enable video users outside of their organization to connect with them. Firewall traversal solutions provide a simplified and secure path through firewalls for your IP video communications, but most solutions require at least some system registration and configuration on behalf of the IT department. As organizations look to extend the functionality of their video investment through new applications and collaboration needs, they need solutions that allow simpler access into their organization.

TANDBERG Entrypoint: Simple, Scalable, Secure

The receptionist. Customer support. A phone book. These are all resources that individuals expect to have access to via a telephone. TANDBERG is now making these same resources available to the enterprise through video with Entrypoint, a first-of-its-kind solution. It's a network device that enables individuals to call into a company and have direct access to information on video through menu systems—much as they are used to for audio today. One main number or address for the company can be distributed to vendors, customers and the public for instant access to specific departments within your organization—you choose who you want accessible. No advance planning from IT is required to enable video users outside of your network to connect with you—it's ad-hoc in nature and a highly scalable solution.

Three ways to connect

Entrypoint enables a user to connect in three simple ways:

Video Menus: Individuals on video can now visually call into a company through one URL address. Once greeted by a Welcome Screen, the individual is easily guided through the options by a simple menu system. This allows your customers to reach the receptionist, a customer service representative or access the company directory.

3G Gateway: The enterprise can now add 3G video services to their internal communication resources. Employees can call in from the road and participate in meetings visually wherever they are.

Audio Gateway: Add audio participants to video meetings or use your office video system as an audio speakerphone for small group meetings.
