Call Conferencing

Audio Meeting - Standard Conferencing

Audio Meeting is a reliable and robust self-managed service. It can be set up easily and quickly, anytime and anywhere. Unlike video or other internet-based telephony conferencing, it’s not dependent on a reliable internet connection – sound, security and service is never compromised by a poor internet connection. All that’s needed to enjoy worldwide access to Audio Meeting Standard is simply a telephone.

Our service is supported and secured by public telephony networks and, therefore, international communications’ standards. In the unlikely event of failure, calls are automatically re-routed across multiple conferencing bridges located in secure carrier class sites, to avoid any noticeable loss during a conference.

Straight-forward, self-service management:

Focussing its attention on a self-managed service, Audio Meeting Standard offers a flexible and affordable alternative to operator-assisted conferences. With Standard’s self-managed advantage, there’s no need to pre-book conferences, nor is there any wasted expenditure due to over-booking line allocation. Conference calls can be set up at a moment’s notice and participants welcomed in at any time. There are no additional charges for services such as call recording and extra self-managed features, including muting and unmuting callers, entry and exit monitoring.

With self-managed conferences accounting for as many as 95 per cent of all audio conferences, BCH’s easy-to-manage service, backed by its in-house single provider, design, development and supporter status, can positively impact your business operations.
