Lifesize Transit - Secure Firewall / NAT Traversal
LifeSize® Transit™ is a complete firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal solution that enables people to make video calls within and across enterprises and organizations by securely traversing firewalls. The result is secure, simple to use video communications.
With the advent of IP communications, connecting to customers, suppliers, partners and colleagues around the globe became easier and more cost effective. The challenge is that conducting video calls requires the opening and closing of communication ports, leaving networks vulnerable to possible attacks and security issues.
With LifeSize Transit, experience better communications without compromising on security. LifeSize offers an enterprise-class firewall and NAT traversal solution that will be seamless to end users and simple to set up and manage for administrators.
LifeSize Transit Server
The LifeSize Transit Server provides signaling, media and registrar services in a single appliance, handling up to 500 device registrations and up to 20 simultaneous 1 Mbps calls. Using Internet addressing and domain technology, users can register endpoint devices utilizing URI dialing for easy naming conventions (videocall@company.com).
LifeSize Transit Connector
All LifeSize Room video communications systems include the LifeSize Connector software at no additional licensing fee, enabling the LifeSize Transit solution out of the box and making LifeSize Room ready for firewall / NAT traversal support.*
LifeSize Transit Client
The LifeSize Transit Client enables non-LifeSize video endpoints to securely traverse firewalls. LifeSize Transit Client is both easy to install and easy to use, and will support up to 20 third-party endpoints in its base configuration, with up to 10 simultaneous 1 Mbps calls.
LifeSize® transit™ is the high definition video communications system that combines exceptional quality and user simplicity to make remote communications a productive, true-to-life experience. The fully integrated system connects to most displays in any size conference room and provides crystal clear video clarity and high fidelity audio for productive conferencing. LifeSize transit includes embedded 4-way HD multipoint capabilities to connect several participants.
Better Quality at Any Bandwidth
By delivering nearly ten times the quality of existing videoconferencing systems (limited to 352 x 288 pixels), users will experience a completely new paradigm in face-to-face video communications. High definition (1280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames per second) video resolution will make participants appear true-to-size. And with advanced processing capabilities, LifeSize transit provides better video at any bandwidth including high definition resolution at 1Mbps, DVD quality at 512Kbps and Cable TV quality at 384Kbps.
Connect Anywhere, Securely
With the advent of IP communications, connecting to customers, suppliers, partners and colleagues around the globe became easier and more cost effective. Conducting video calls by passing through a network firewall meant opening and closing communication ports, leaving networks vulnerable to possible attacks.
With LifeSize Transit, experience better communications without compromising on security. LifeSize offers an enterprise-class firewall / NAT traversal solution that will be seamless to end users and simple to set up and manage. LifeSize Transit creates a secure path through a firewall without compromising IP security.
To support more security-conscious environments, LifeSize Transit also allows users to enable TCP communications instead of UDP, and, in a future release will support HTTP communications. This feature allows users to close down selected open port types to gain maximum flexibility and security in their traversal implementation.
Simple to Use
LifeSize firewall traversal technology makes it easy for LifeSize® Room™ to communicate across a firewall to another LifeSize system or other vendor system.
LifeSize Transit includes a SIP-based plug and play appliance that bridges any firewall or NAT boundary including strict corporate firewalls. The LifeSize Transit solution will also work with most common SIP-based endpoints.
