Download the report snapshot

WebRTC is an emerging standard that enables real-time voice, video and data sharing in a Web browser without the need for browser plugins. Potentially billions of devices supporting a browser – PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets and a host of new devices – from a variety of manufacturers will be real-time communications-enabled.

This report is designed to provide CIOs and decision makers with the right balance of depth and breadth to help them understand what WebRTC can do for them as well as what it can do to them.

We discuss federation among WebRTC-enabled sites and integration with legacy communications platforms including Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the public switched telephone network (PSTN). We describe the security mechanisms inherent in WebRTC.
