On 30 April 2012 shareholders approved the acquisition of Radvision by Avaya for about $230 million.[1][2] Plans were announced in June to integrated Radvision products with the Avaya Aura Unified Communication systems.[3]

The Scopia XT5000 is a unified communication video conferencing system with many video conferencing endpoint options. The system is capable of dual 1080p/60fps live video content, HD Audio, H.264, Scalable Video Coding (SVC), along with iPad multi-touch control.[4] The XT5000 system also automatically scales bandwidth in unpredictable network environments during the video conferencing.[5] The Scopia XT5000 systems include the 5200 Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) carrier grade systems (5230 and 5215 systems), and the XT5100 systems (5120, 5115, 5110, and 5105).

Scopia Mobile allows HD video conferencing from mobile devices such as the iPad, iPhone iPod and Android[16] Wireless connection speeds over cell systems varies greatly and NetSense optimizes the conference session as it monitors the connection quality, dynamically changing from HD video to whatever the connection can support as needed.[17]
