Greenpacket and Intel release Interact Collabright. The Collabright application delivers Personal Area Network technology that expends Intel’s My WiFi Technology.
Collabright allows users to connect through PAN, chat with multiple partners and share files and folders. It’s a secure device-to-device connection that allows users to share audio-visual files and documents without the worries of it being seen by unwanted eyes.
“Interact Collabright, in combination with Intel My WiFi Technology, innovates information sharing without the need for conventional network infrastructure or expensive AV equipment,” Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager of Greenpacket said, “With the rapid increase in data transfer, this application which makes sharing easy will be welcomed by users today. Collabright is like a big meeting room connecting people beyond four walls.”
Greenpacket is talking with laptop makers to put the Collabright software into PCs. It gives the company another market to penetrate, along with the modem and operator market. The software should innovate how data and information are transferred between users.
“As consumers increasingly connect WiFi-enabled peripherals, laptops and devices to each other, they want the ability to easily transfer data between them,” said Ashish Gupta, Marketing Manager of Intel’s Mobile Wireless Group. “Intel is working with Greenpacket to integrate their Interact Collabright application with our award-winning Intel My WiFi Technology software and look forward to providing users with a simple way to share their screens, files and folders, chat, or even their internet connection.”
The video conferencing capabilities of Collabright should interest business executives because it allows for more mobility. The recent announcement from Clearwire that they’re releasing a video heavy WiMAX-enabled phone, combined with the Collabright software showcases the potential for mobile interactive video conferencing. Business could be done anywhere.
