TokBox, a Telefónica Digital company, released the results of global survey of 1,161 participants regarding developer community attitudes towards WebRTC.

The report, which found rapidly emerging interest from larger organizations (1,000+ employees), also found rapid WebRTC adoption amongst smaller companies (fewer than 500 employees) where more than one in four (27.1%) developers say WebRTC is already critical to their work.

Enterprise developers are particularly drawn to the ability to avoid downloads and also the simplicity, with no requirement for an AV expert. Alternatively, for SMBs, WebRTC's lower latency and higher video/audio quality are key factors.

While still emerging, enterprise developers claim to have a higher degree of expertise, with one in ten (11%) claiming expert status, vs 5.9% for SMBs. Other key findings from the report included:

1. Rise and Rise: Three in four developers intend to increase their usage of WebRTC over the next 12 months, 50% of them by a "significant amount";

2. Imperfect evolution: The biggest missing element of WebRTC is the inability for mobile/web interoperability (35%), followed by multi-party group support (23%), archiving/recording (15.5%) and phone to video chat connection (14%). Only 4% thought "nothing was wrong" with WebRTC;

3. Death of the client download: A major factor driving the move towards WebRTC is the removal of the need to download any client or software. Other drives included low latency/less delay, not needing to be an AV specialist to use WebRTC, and higher audio/video resolution;

4. A legitimate data channel: As opposed to SMBs where interest in WebRTC for data (5.2% say they will use it) and audio (6.1%) is virtually non-existent, enterprise developers are more likely to build apps utilising these channels (10.4% will use data, 11.7% voice), although video capability is the most significant area of interest across both groups (86% for SMBs, 75% for enterprises).

5. Flash is fading: 41% of respondents do not intend to use Flash at all over the next 12 months, 19% will decrease usage. SMBs are more likely to use Flash, with 18% expecting to increase usage vs only 12% for enterprises. In comparison, 75% will increase usage of WebRTC across both SMBs and enterprises;

6. Impact beyond video conferencing: Beyond video conferencing and telecommunications, the number one industry expected to adopt WebRTC is Customer Service (25%), Education (23%) and Medical/Health industries (17%).

TokBox, with its industry leading OpenTok on WebRTC platform, powers enterprise-grade WebRTC video communications for businesses and developers around the world.

Ian Small, CEO of TokBox, commented on the findings: "These results overwhelmingly show that WebRTC is at the heart of change in the developer community, affecting industries well beyond communications. With OpenTok we have focused on evolving WebRTC into an enterprise-grade solution and the clear appetite from larger organizations shows we are on the right track. As the Web becomes a genuine platform for voice and video, we are seeing the imagination of the community drive a whole raft of use cases."

OpenTok has been used by more than 70,000 organizations to add live face to face communications to their site, including American Idol, Major League Baseball, Diet Coke, Ford, Doritos, Bridgestone and Double Robotics.

Last month TokBox released OpenTok for Customer Service, providing a configured set of tools so anyone can build live video into an enterprise customer service application.

From 2013, NTT Communications has been providing cPaaS service, SkyWay. Its customer’s expectations for leveraging WebRTC technology are not only typical real-time communication use cases such as Web conference, remote education, but also IoT use cases such as remote camera monitoring, smart-glass, and robotic. Because of this, NTT Communications has numerous IoT business use-cases that its customers are developing on top of PaaS. WebRTC will lead IoT businesses to be more innovative and address current issues in the Edge Computing scenario. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Kensaku Komatsu, a research and development engineer in Department of Technology Development at NTT Communications, talked about the practical experience, activity and potential of WebRTC for IoT and Edge Computing scenario.
It is of utmost importance for the future success of WebRTC to ensure that interoperability is operational between web browsers and any WebRTC-compliant client. To be guaranteed as operational and effective, interoperability must be tested extensively by establishing WebRTC data and media connections between different web browsers running on different devices and operating systems. In his session at WebRTC Summit at @ThingsExpo, Dr. Alex Gouaillard, CEO and Founder of CoSMo Software, presented a comprehensive view of the numerous testing challenges researchers have faced before arriving at the first release candidate of the WebRTC specifications.
Recently, WebRTC has a lot of eyes from market. The use cases of WebRTC are expanding - video chat, online education, online health care etc. Not only for human-to-human communication, but also IoT use cases such as machine to human use cases can be seen recently. One of the typical use-case is remote camera monitoring. With WebRTC, people can have interoperability and flexibility for deploying monitoring service. However, the benefit of WebRTC for IoT is not only its convenience and interoperability. It has lots of potential to address current issues around IoT - security, connectivity and so on - based on P2P technology. It will become a key-component especially in edge computing use cases, in his view.
WebRTC is great technology to build your own communication tools. It will be even more exciting experience it with advanced devices, such as a 360 Camera, 360 microphone, and a depth sensor camera.
