4 Value to Developers ORCA provides a one stop vendor neutral solution for consistently and easily accessing network services through a simple communications API Until now, developers who wanted to add real time communications to web applications had to implement their own signaling mechanism, or adapt their product to use the unique APIs for each service provider Initial focus is signaling, but contributions to the JavaScript libraries will refine and extend the core functionality 4

9 How it Works: Conferencing Without Explicit Conference Call Support 1. Alice calls Bob and they decide to conference in Carol. Bob s Service Provider bob@abc.com client Orca.js API Alice s SP orca.js library Alice (Calling party) Depending on the implementation, the client may support simultaneous signaling connections to two or more peers, allowing for smooth transition of calls from one endpoint to another 2. Alice creates a conference instance and transfers Bob to it, then joins herself. Alice s Service Provider alice@abc.com GW 3. Alice places her conference connection on hold and calls Carol to invite her to the conference. Alice transfers Carol to the conference and rejoins conference herself. 4. Other attendees can call into the conference at alice@conf.com 2 1 Conference Service alice@conf.com GW Conference service may be supported by Alice s provider or 3 rd party Carol s Service Provider carol@linkedin.com GW client Orca.js API Bob s SP orca.js library client Orca.js API Carol s SP orca.js library Bob Carol 9
