                                or dial phone numbers. With hotComm you get On-Demand voice and video conferencing,

                                For larger audiences or when superior performance is a must, conduct your virtual
                                meetings using our Content Relay Manager. Content Relay is an unattended content
                                forwarding solution designed to support hundreds or thousands of simultaneous hotComm
                                sessions. Any standard PC/NT/XP server platform equipped with a high bandwidth Internet
                                channel acts as your virtual meeting room. Host the Content Relay server at either
                                your facility or at a service provider location. Individual presenters connect from
                                their hotComm desktops over a DSL or Cable connection and use the Content Relay
                                Manager to multicast the conference. Attendees connect to Content Relay from their
                                browsers or with one of the hotComm clients. No other software or hardware products
                                are needed.
                                 
                                 
                                For truly scalable and inexpensive content distribution 1stWorks offers TreeCast
                                Moderator, an innovative approach to using the untapped bandwidth available to most
                                Internet connected PC's. TreeCast Moderator dynamically creates a hierarchical routing
                                based on the connection history and available bandwidth of each PC in the audience.
                                Those PC's capable of acting as "repeaters" automatically contribute unused outbound
                                bandwidth to push content to the downstream clients.
                                 
                                 
                                Security and access rights are rigorously enforced - only recognized hotComm users
                                are included in this dynamic routing algorithm, so the opportunity for "free riders"
                                is eliminated. Unauthorized file sharing is eliminated; downloads of confidential
                                information are tightly controlled. Both Content Relay Manager and TreeCast Moderator
                                are available with an on-line secure credit card processing feature to facilitate
                                “Pay Per View” applications.
                                 
                                 
                                Management presentations, financial analysts, product engineers, marketing professionals,
                                and organizational leaders can all benefit for this unique and innovative Web Conferencing
                                and Collaboration solution.
