Audio Only on prem conference bridge

[ethereal112]

Does anyone know of a pure audio conference bridge solution that works with CUCM? And please don't mention WebEx or any other video first solution. I've had those conversations. I'm not paying for a service that is video capable and expensive just to use it for audio. On prem would be a ideal over a hosted system. Anyone?

Any reason you dont want to use MeetMe?

Cause MeetMe doesn't scale. No PIN authentication and no scheduling.

You can do PIN authentication via Unity. And it takes a whole 5 seconds to open but I understand.

Yeah and I had high hopes for CUCM v11 with there new Conference Now Feature but it requires at least 1 participant be on a Cisco IP Phone.

Not sure about the Conference Now feature, but with MeetMe, as long as someone is in the meeting, it will be open. You just need a Cisco phone to open it.

Well our current legacy conference bridge doesn't require someone to be onsite and on the bridge for it to start or end. All parties can be off campus.
