Radvision

Radvision was an Israeli technology company that developed, manufactured, and marketed videoconferencing and video over IP (VoIP) technologies. Founded in 1992, the company played a significant role in the early development and standardization of H.323 and SIP protocols, which are fundamental to many modern video conferencing systems.

Radvision's product portfolio included infrastructure components such as Multipoint Control Units (MCUs), gateways, and client software that enabled businesses and organizations to conduct video conferences, collaborate remotely, and integrate video communication into their applications. They provided solutions for various industries, including enterprise, education, healthcare, and government.

A key aspect of Radvision's contribution was its focus on interoperability, ensuring that different video conferencing systems could communicate with each other regardless of the manufacturer. This was crucial for widespread adoption of the technology.

In March 2012, Radvision was acquired by Avaya for approximately $230 million. Following the acquisition, Radvision's technologies were integrated into Avaya's communication and collaboration solutions. The Radvision brand was eventually phased out. While the company no longer exists as an independent entity, its legacy in the development of video conferencing technology continues to influence the industry.
