Pexip
Pexip is a multinational corporation based in Oslo, Norway that develops Unified Communications software enabling human collaboration through the use of video, audio and web communication technologies. The software platform named Infinity, is software that combines the power of server virtualization to create uniquely distributed conferencing solutions for Enterprises and Service Providers. The software uniqueness centers around a dynamic and scalable means to deliver every video user the same experience no matter location or device, while providing major efficiencies, an experience not possible until Pexip's approach.

Company History
Pexip was founded in 2012 and came out of stealth-mode on May 22, 2013. The big splash for the company was launched at Infocomm 2013 and received by the industry with excitement. The arrival to the Unified Communications seen is considered disruptive to the past industry methods of using purpose built DSP technology to build Multipoint Control Units (MCU) which is expensive and limited in scale to truly offer a cost effective and scale to build video communications for everyone. The approach to use of software to build MCUs not only matches past methods but provides improvements and opportunity for new innovative services.
