Cisco Instant Connect: Android SDK added to iOS and Windows
An Android SDK is now available for Cisco Instant Connect, which means that you can now create Android applications for instant group and private audio connectivity and collaboration.
The SDK will enable developers to embed Cisco Instant Connect into Cisco IPICS solutions, providing push-to-talk (PTT), on-premises communications that manage and secure your instant communications infrastructure.
The Android SDK - which comprises a simple and easy-to-use library - complements the pre-existing iOS and Windows versions released earlier this year.

Remote Expert Mobile: SDKs now ready
Using the newly-introduced iOS, Android and web SDKs (both Windows and Mac), the Remote Expert Mobile (REM) collaboration solution can now be incorporated into iOS, Android and web solutions.
REM is a voice and video-enabled collaboration solution similar to Jabber Guest, and has additional advanced features such co-browsing, annotation, content push and form-fill.
As with Jabber Guest, Cisco Unified Communications Manager needs to be running. (In case you missed it, we featured the new Jabber Guest iOS SDK in last month's DevNet Update).
Here's a quick comparison of REM and Jabber Guest:
| Jabber Guest | Remote Expert Mobile |
| Cisco TelePresence video with basic screen sharing | Advanced content sharing, annotation, co-browse, agent integration with voice and video |
| WebRTC call control & native Cisco media | WebRTC call control & media (transcoding support if needed) |
| CUCM, UCCE, PCE, UCCX | CUCM, UCCE, PCE, UCCX |
| Windows, Mac, iOS, Android | Windows, Mac, iOS, Android |
| Single-VM deployment (3 in a cluster) leveraging Expressway/VCS edge | Two-VM deployment (4 in a cluster) |
| 2000 sessions (500 with UCCE/PCCE, 100 UCCX) | 100 sessions |
| Broadly-localized (10+ locales) | English to start |
