VCS-C & VCS-E / Expressway-C & Expressway-E : Similarities & Differences

C_Noble

I am trying to find detailed documentation on the difference between the following products:

 

Video Communication System - Control / Expressway
Expressway - Core / Edge

 

My understanding is that endpoints can register to both Control and Core.
When used together, both products can be used to provide MRA, firewall traversal, and B2B communications.

 

If the above is true, what is the difference between the product lines?

Also, can a VCS-C be used with a Expressway-E?

VCS was the original Tandberg product, it evolved into Expressway, and VCS is now starting the EOL/EOS, you can find the notice online, the replacement product is Expressway.

No, you cannot mix VCS and expressways, I assume you have not reviewed the MRA documentation because that's is explicitly called out in there.

 

You can review the datasheets of each product for what features they offer.
