WebRTC offers real-time communication capabilities directly within web browsers through JavaScript APIs. It is both an open-source software stack and a browser standard specification being developed by the IETF and W3C. The document discusses how different companies can implement WebRTC in various ways such as federating networks, operating standalone services, aggregating users, or embedding widgets. Overall, WebRTC is a technology that must be built upon rather than a complete solution on its own.

WebRTC is a media engine with
JavaScript APIs

3. Both a browser technology and an open
source stack

WebRTC is both an open source project (=Software Stack) and a
standard specification (=Browser Tech)
webrtc.org
• The open source project
• Holds an implementation of the
WebRTC specification
• Can be used by anyone for
anything
And also openWebRTC.io
WebRTC 1.0
• The standard specification
• Not yet completed
• Handled by the IETF and W3C

7. Federate
All networks/services must interwork with each
other seamlessly
7
Who?
Examples
• Connecting to PSTN / Telephony
• Has an existing network, need to use WebRTC
as an additional access point
• Those who believe federation is key

8. Silo
A service needs to communicate with no one
else
8
Who?
Examples
• In-app communications
• Big enough OTT players
• Many verticals

9. Aggregate
A “meeting point” for multiple users, under a
single roof
9
Who?
Examples
• Intermediaries
• Expert markets

10. Embed
Widgets embedded in other’s service offering
10
Who?
Examples
• High branding value for customer
• Decentralization & added control
