What is Haivision?

Haivision's product signal is thin under a marketing feed: SRT Gateway and ISR player get UX work

Haivision's crawled feed is mostly thought-leadership and customer-story marketing across defense, public safety, and broadcast video. The genuine product signal is narrow: a UX overhaul of the SRT Gateway (visual workflows, mobile support, thumbnail previews) and capability content around the Play ISR Premium player (interactive mapping, annotations, collaboration). New broadcast hardware — Makito ONE, Falkon X4 — surfaces through NAB and customer recaps rather than changelog releases.

What is Webex?

Webex moves its agentic-workplace features from announcement toward general availability

Webex's feed is the Cisco Collaboration marketing blog, so it mixes genuine product news with event promos, awards, and customer stories. The real product signal recently: Cisco AI PODs for Collaboration reached GA (on-premises AI for secure deployments), AI Receptionist for Webex Calling went GA, and Cisco Live and InfoComm framed an agentic workplace that spans meeting platforms.

Haivision's product signal is thin under a marketing feed: SRT Gateway and ISR player get UX work

◆ Current state

Haivision's crawled feed is mostly thought-leadership and customer-story marketing across defense, public safety, and broadcast video. The genuine product signal is narrow: a UX overhaul of the SRT Gateway (visual workflows, mobile support, thumbnail previews) and capability content around the Play ISR Premium player (interactive mapping, annotations, collaboration). New broadcast hardware — Makito ONE, Falkon X4 — surfaces through NAB and customer recaps rather than changelog releases.

◆ Where it's heading

Where signal exists, Haivision is refining operator experience on existing platforms — making IP video routing and ISR analysis easier to drive visually — while its hardware momentum lives in trade-show and customer narratives. This is a marketing-led feed; product direction has to be inferred from a handful of feature-adjacent posts rather than a release stream.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued UX modernization of the SRT Gateway and ISR tooling and further broadcast-contribution hardware (Makito ONE, Falkon X4) positioning, though the blog-style feed makes precise release timing hard to call.

Webex moves its agentic-workplace features from announcement toward general availability

◆ Current state

Webex's feed is the Cisco Collaboration marketing blog, so it mixes genuine product news with event promos, awards, and customer stories. The real product signal recently: Cisco AI PODs for Collaboration reached GA (on-premises AI for secure deployments), AI Receptionist for Webex Calling went GA, and Cisco Live and InfoComm framed an agentic workplace that spans meeting platforms.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line is agentic AI woven across Cisco's collaboration stack, calling, contact center, and management via Cisco Cloud Control/AgenticOps, with emphasis on on-prem and platform-agnostic deployment for regulated buyers. The cadence of GA milestones suggests Cisco is moving these AI features from announcement to availability.

◆ Prediction

Expect WebexOne in October to consolidate these agentic-workplace pieces into a headline platform story, with more Webex Calling and Contact Center AI features reaching GA before then.
