Voice Conference Bridge options in Cisco

[Fahad Afzal]

Hello there,

I am wondering what Cisco offers in voice conference bridges. I know about Video and WebEx conferencing but what about normal voice bridges where you can call from PSTN and join the conference.

If we talk about Meetme, that is very limited. No Password protection and we have to use Unity Connection as a workaround.

Anything dedicated for voice conferencing?

Thanks

Out of the box, meetme is the option you get. It is very limited. However, we can workaround it using IVR (UCCX or CUE) and you get custom prompts, PIN, record names and playback, etc.

The next level will be WebEx which you can use on-prem or cloud version.

Telepresence is the mega size solution for large enterprises.
