This year, the award, in the Wireless Network Infrastructure Innovation was given to Hrvatski Telekom for the implementation of WebRTC solution based on IMS technology. The award was accepted at the award ceremony by Mr. Žarko Klobučarević, member of the creative HT team that worked on the project.
WebRTC is technology that enables voice service, video and messages (on the chat principle) within web browser applications, and Hrvatski Telekom developed the awarded solution in cooperation with the project partner Mavenir Systems.

This simple, but mighty communications tool has versatile applications, and one of them being successfully realized in TeraStream - HT's future network, in this testing phase. It is the instructional television service that is enriched by interactive communications by sharing the desktop via WebRTC technology, which not only promotes this technology but also the idea of interactive eLearninig customer experience.
“The Global Telecom Business Award for innovation on the global level is a huge recognition to the entire team that participated in the realization of this exceptionally interesting idea.

The project has been realized in just a few week, thanks to the visionaries in the marketing part of the team and expertise and efforts of all involved,” said Nenad Šlibar, from the Network Systems and Service Development Sector.
