  • Marratech is a Swedish company that makes software for e-meetings. Marratech was founded in 1998, as a spin off company from the Centre for Distance-Spanning Technology at the Luleå University of Technology. Founders include Dr. Dick Schefström, Dr. Peter Parnes, Johnny Widén, Dr. Kåre Synnes, Mikael Börjeson, Magnus Hedberg, Serge Lachapelle and Claes Ågren. The Marratech prototypes saw the light of day in 1995 as part of an EU project called Multimedia Assisted Tele-engineering (MATES) project. Marratech's first products, offering voice, video, whiteboard and instant messaging for groups was first released in November 1998. The first release required the presence of an IP Multicast network and was built as a server less architecture. The solution has since evolved to support both traditional IP Unicast and IP Multicast, high security and multi platform computing. A distributed architecture is made possible by doing all the processing, mixing, encoding and encryption on the clients, relieving the servers and increasing scalability. For guaranteed, serverless, scalable data delivery over both Multicast and Unicast, Scalable Reliable Multicast (SRM) is used over the Real-time Transport Protocol, called SRRTP. In 2004, Marratech introduced support for dialing out to IP telephones, land lines and mobile phones via the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). In 2005, H.323 support was added to communicate with traditional video conferencing equipment. In 2007, Marratech's video conference software was acquired by Google. Most engineers and key personnel have moved to Google. Some of the key features included in Marratech are: High quality voice for groups with private audio feature Interactive group whiteboard Multi party video Some of the key underlying technologies are: 256 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) end-to-end encryption Support for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux on the client and server side. Support for bandwidth saving clusters Support for IP Unicast, IP Multicast or both Support for H.323 (dial in and out, E.164) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) H.264 video The solution includes a freely downloadable client and a server, called the Marratech Manager. Users include Alcatel Alenia Space, Verizon, the Swedish Police Department, The Swedish Army and a number of Universities around the world. Google has finally bought Marratech. Google plans its use for their staff members initially and later they might come out with a massive change in the software for public use.

  • Marratech är ett svenskt företag som tillverkade programvara avsedd för videokonferenser och e-möten. I april 2007 köpte Google Marratechs programvaror, patent med mera; dock inte själva företaget. De flesta ingenjörer och nyckelpersoner flyttade till Google.. Google sa sig planera att initialt använda produkten för sina anställda och senare, efter en omfattande vidareutveckling, tillhandahålla produkten för allmänheten. Den sista juni 2009 kommer Marratech AB inte längre att erbjuda licensförsäljning av servrar och andra produkter. Marratech AB stänger ned sin webbplats, inklusive diskussionsforum, nedladdning av Marratech-klienten, e-mötesportaler och Java WebStart-tjänsten. På webbplatsen rekommenderar man sina kunder att gå över till produkten Elluminate. Eftersom många svenska universitet använder Marratech har SUNET undersökt möjligheten till en nationell upphandling av en lösning och har tecknat avtal med Logica om Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.
