April 26, 2016

Drum’s cloud-based web meeting platform will use Epsilon’s co-location services to deliver IP and WebRTC-based communications and collaboration tools

LONDON, 27 April 2016 – Epsilon, a privately owned global communications service provider, was selected by Drum, a leading telco apps developer, to deliver co-location services to support the growth of its browser-based Drum web meeting platform. Drum web meetings combine WebRTC with CSS3 and HTML5 to deliver a meeting platform. Drum offers users instant access to flexible browser-based communications and collaboration tools inside a web meeting.

Drum delivers a comprehensive set of features that include browser-based audio, PSTN dial-in, messaging, document sharing and collaboration, chat, screen sharing, with immediate integration into 20+ existing business apps. All meetings created with Drum can be played back in real-time whilst the new Slack integration allows users to create meetings instantly using the /drum slash command. Drum is pioneering in the development and application of real-time communications while integrating fixed, mobile, WebRTC voice into a single solution.

Quality of Service (QoS) and reliable underlying infrastructure is critical to the success of WebRTC and any real-time applications. Epsilon demonstrated they understand not only the traditional voice world but the rapid innovations currently developing within browser-based applications and communications services. As our Drum instant web meetings continue to grow, we appreciate Epsilon’s ability to deliver QoS at scale.
