Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams integration

Cisco and Microsoft announce an alliance to simplify interoperability between Cisco Webex, Telepresence Endpoints and IP telephony with Microsoft Teams.

Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams integration

See how easy it is to join a Microsoft Teams meeting from a Webex video device. Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams integration:

See Video Integration Webex Meetings and Microsoft Teams

As a result of the CISCO strategy of these last years of standardization and interoperability among different manufacturers, this alliance emerges.

The announcement contemplates two interoperability scenarios between Cisco Webex Devices and MS Teams Meetings:

Video Interoperability in the Cloud (CVI)

Allows Cisco Webex devices to connect to Microsoft Teams meeting services. Cisco Webex will present an interoperability solution that will be certified as a Microsoft Cloud Video Interop (CVI) solution. This will allow Cisco Webex and third-party SIP devices to join Microsoft Teams meetings with a simple and intuitive interoperability experience.

All this will benefit customers who have requested that Cisco and Microsoft provide an interoperability solution to allow their Cisco video devices to join Microsoft team meetings in a smooth manner.

Direct access from Meetings video devices, both from Webex and Microsoft

Cisco and Microsoft are working together on a new approach that allows room devices to connect to third-party meeting services through integrated web technologies.

Therefore, Cisco and Microsoft will enable a direct linking capability from their videoconferencing devices to the Webex Meetings and Microsoft Teams meeting services.

This capability will be compatible with the latest generations of Cisco Webex Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms devices.

Intended for early 2020.

Cognitive Collaboration? The work space revolution

CISCO Cognitive Collaboration:

There is a new concept in CISCO that is very important that we know: Cognitive Collaboration or Cognitive Workplace. This new concept will allow us to create more human connections.

Imagine in a meeting with several people, in face-to-face format and videoconference, what do we know about these people? Their names? Work experience? Current position? Company where you work? People in common?… Prior knowledge of this information helps foster connections between people, have a more humane relationship that translates into greater involvement in the project for the benefit of your business.

“digital assistants, facial recognition, information on the profiles of people and companies in meetings, noise suppression and audio transcriptions”

WATCH VIDEO

Different time zones, workplaces and applications … teamwork today is complex. #Webex presents the new way of collaborating in organizations that integrate information from people, relationship intelligence, artificial intelligence and business processes. Create high performance teams and improve customer experiences with artificial intelligence, to foster connections between more personalized people, more human connectivity.

One of the most important concepts is the ability to obtain instant information (insights) in time to get to know the people in the meeting better, connect emotionally with the participants making the meetings more productive.

How will cognitive collaboration improve my way of working?

For example, cognitive collaboration provides relationship intelligence that gives us information such as biographies, work history, titles and report structure, and facial recognition provides name tags at the meeting to help you know who is who in the room. Digital assistants help us easily perform tasks related to collaboration, such as joining a meeting, calling a contact and recording a call, and can communicate proactively when a meeting is about to begin. Cognitive collaboration extends through the collaboration platform, so that, whether you are in a meeting using conference devices, collaborating in a team space or making a call, you will have the information just in time that you need to Take your collaborative efforts to the next level of your business.

For what Cognitive Collaboration?

To improve business results.

The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) with cloud communications and multiple sources of business information allows people to work together with greater context.

Cognitive Collaboration:

  • Eliminate friction points
  • Create greater relevance to achieve greater efficiency
  • Improve productivity
  • Inspire innovation
  • Create more experiences that captivate customers

It describes a fundamental change in the way people work together and leverage technology to foster human relationships, build better experiences for customers and, ultimately, achieve team goals faster.

How does cognitive collaboration work?

By combining natural language processing, artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms in hardware, software and cloud analysis, users receive contextual information throughout their commercial communications. This approach allows advanced capabilities such as digital assistants, facial recognition, profiles of people and companies in meetings, noise suppression and audio transcriptions.

5G – Advantages

Robbins, CEO of Cisco: “There is no exaggeration with 5G, it’s an incredible leap”


https://www.expansion.com/economia-digital/protagonistas/2019/03/05/5c7eaf9de5fdeaed308b4574.html

It promises dramatically improved performance for mobile workers and businesses.

Improves speed, latency and consumption.

 

What is 5G?


The term 5G refers to the fifth generation mobile network. It presents a new improved technology of the current 4G / LTE, mainly in terms of speed, latency and consumption.It is a new way of using mobile devices. It offers advantages such as higher connection speed and greater autonomy in the device, despite causing greater performance.While the maximum speed of 4G technology is only 1 Gbps, the International Telecommunications Union has set the speed of 5G to a standard of up to 10Gbps, higher than the fiber optic speed.In short, 5G is the new generation of mobile data.As we have co-emulated, the speed of 5G promises to be much higher than the 4G mobile network and 100 times higher than today’s wireless systems, this is a total revolution in the well-known IoT Internet of things: keep everything connected to your phone ( the house, sanitary services, cars, machines, appliances …)

Another of the numerous advantages of 5G is the reduction of latency. The transfer time of a data packet will be reduced, this latency being between 1 and 4 milliseconds. Communication will be immediate, as will downloading files. 5G technology will be fast, mobile and secure.

Characteristic4G4G+5G
Speed (Mbps)200120010000
Latency (milliseconds)100201-4

Speed ​​and latency also favor better connectivity from more places, as well as the connection of multiple devices simultaneously. MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology allows us to transfer more data between devices in the same space. This means that if we add more antennas, we can transport more data packets at the same time. That is, a higher transfer rate at the same time. It is what the 5G proposes; Up to 100 more devices connected per area unit compared to 4G and LTE networks.

Lower latency allows to improve the performance of commercial applications and other digital experiences such as online games, videoconferences and cars with autopilot …

While previous generations such as 4G LTE aimed to ensure connectivity, 5G technology takes connectivity to the next level by offering connected cloud experiences to customers. 5G networks are virtualized and run through software, and take advantage of cloud technologies.

The 5G architectures will be software-defined platforms, where network functionality is managed through software rather than through hardware. Advances in virtualization, cloud-based technologies and automation of IT and commercial processes allow the 5G architecture to be agile and flexible and provide user access anytime, anywhere.

5G and Wifi6 will be implemented together in the company


For the IT department of companies, it will be a challenge to manage these access technologies separately, and it will be a priority to have them as integrated systems, with unified policies, security and analysis.

Users and devices should move between 5G and Wi-Fi 6 systems, and the IT manager will want the experience to be perfect and easy to manage at scale.

The 5G network will also simplify mobility, with open roaming capabilities without problems between the cell phone and Wi-Fi access. Mobile users can remain connected while traveling through external wireless connections and wireless networks within the premises without user intervention or the need to have to authenticate again.

 

Powerx 5G Cisco

Cisco is implementing a cloud-to-customer approach to 5G, unifying multi-vendor solutions into a unique standards-based architecture. It covers multiple clouds, IP routing, 5G core, perimeter service, access networks, IoT and security. It offers the technology you need, where you need it, so you can maintain, and even exceed, what your customers want.

Cisco Webex Calling, a cloud-based telephone system.

Cisco Webex Calling

Webex Calling, a cloud-based telephone system.

For companies that have been waiting for a trusted brand to offer a multi-user cloud-based alternative available globally to their local PBX, the wait is over.

Cisco Webex® Calling offers all the features of a traditional PBX through a subscription service.

Main features Cisco Webex Calling:

  • An advanced set of business-level PBX features.
  • An enriched user experience that includes the Cisco® Webex Calling application for mobile and desktop users, integrated with the Cisco Webex Teams ™ collaboration application.
  • Support for an integrated user experience with Cisco Webex Meetings and Webex devices, including 6800, 7800 and 8800 series desk phones from Cisco IP phones and analog ATAs.
  • Delivery from a set of geo-redundant data centers distributed regionally throughout the world.
  • Service available in a growing list of countries in each region.
  • Protection of existing investment in any local Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) license, through the flexible Cisco collaboration plan.
  • A smooth migration to the cloud at your own pace, through cloud and mixed cloud support and local implementations.

 

PSTN connectivity

How is PSTN connectivity provided with Webex Calling ?

Webex Calling allows you to locally connect your existing PSTN service to the Webex cloud through the use of Cisco-approved gateways.

What hardware, gateway, is compatible to connect Cisco Webex calls to the PSTN ?

Webex Calling allows your client to connect your existing PSTN service to the Webex cloud through Cisco gateways. The following Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) devices are compatible with Webex Calling to connect your client’s PSTN service:

● Cisco 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, and 4451 Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) that use version 16.9 of the Cisco IOS® XE software (3)

● Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000 Series (CSR 1000V) with virtual CUBE and Cisco IOS XE Software version 16.9 (3)

● Cisco 1100 ISR with Cisco IOS XE software version 16.11

Note: CUBE call licenses are included in the Cisco Webex Calling Flex Plan license. CUBE selection requirements are governed by the needs of encryption and decryption. (The signaling and means to Cisco Webex Calling are always safe)

 

An example gateway and software that should be used:

For Webex calls with less than 200 users, you can use the Cisco 4321 Integrated Services Router (ISR) with the required Cisco IOS® XE software.

The 4321 ISR will support up to 40 sessions, therefore 200 users in a 1: 5 ratio. If you need more sessions, a more powerful router will be required. Here is an example bill of materials (BOM) for an ISR 4321:

4321 ISR hardware ISR4321/K9

+

Unified communication license for Cisco 4320 ISR SL-4320-UC-K9

+

Security license for cisco 4320 ISR SL-4320-SEC-K9

 

For environments with more than 200 users, we recommend an ISR 4331 and the required CUBE software. The 4331 ISR will manage up to 200 sessions. With a 5: 1 ratio, it can provide support for up to 1000 users. This will vary according to the client.

Are calls encrypted?

Yes, call traffic is encrypted end to end.

Can you use a gateway that supports the Webex Calling on-premise and cloud solution to support users?

Yes. One of the advantages of using a gateway to provide PSTN connectivity to cloud users is that it is an important first step in helping the client transition to the cloud at the pace that best suits their business strategy.

What are the benefits for the end customer of Webex Calling?

Customers can:
  • Transform your business by migrating to collaboration and communication solutions in the cloud.
  • Reduce the cost and complexity of technology and provide a more agile and intuitive way of working.
  • Integrate innovative and reliable brand in cloud collaboration, security and solution delivery.
  • Integrate with Cisco Webex Meetings and Teams to provide an exceptional cognitive collaboration experience.
  • Migrate at your own pace and protect existing investments with the hybrid cloud options of the Flex Plan.
  • Improve global and multi-site customer service, as well as remote and mobile worker connectivity.
