FireRTC Announces Expansion of Beta Progam of its In-Browser Voice and Video App
New York City Based Startup Aims to Make the Traditional Phone Network More Social
NEW YORK, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At TechCrunch Disrupt NY this morning, FireRTC announced it will make its socially-connected in-browser voice and video application available to the general public for the first time via an expanded beta program.
"As a New York based startup, we feel fortunate to be able to announce the expansion of our beta program at TechCrunch Disrupt NY," said Randy Weinberger, FireRTC's co-founder.
FireRTC enables users to make and receive voice and video calls directly from their web browser. It's always available and eliminates the need for a dedicated app, a handset, or a mobile voice plan.
FireRTC also provides much more than just Caller ID to a generation of users increasingly used to 'thick data' in their interactions. It leverages the power of the Web to provide rich, contextual information about the person being spoken with, sourcing social media and geolocation data to provide an unparalleled social connection with friends, relatives, and business colleagues.
Unlike other services that restrict calls to other users of their service, FireRTC enables users to make and receive calls to landlines and mobile phones free of charge.
"Users want ubiquitous access to voice from within any setting, whether that's working on a train, accessing the enterprise IT stack remotely, or catching up on email in a coffee shop," Weinberger continued. "FireRTC offers users elegant one-click access to voice and video service from within the most popular browsers, and adds a rich layer of social context to calls in a beautiful, easy-to-use application."
Starting today, users can register for a FireRTC account at http://firertc.com/.
