Vivox Precision Studio delivers high quality, massively scalable, real-time voice communications to MMOGs. Precision Studio is an innovative solution that empowers game developers and publishers to provide an immersive gaming experience, that is unrivaled in today's online world, with robust, integrated and customizable communication tools.

The world of Massive Multi-player Online Gaming (MMOG) has grown exponentially over the years and has created new online communities that extend beyond game play. A study by A. Fleming Seay called "Project Massive" that analyzes the communication and lifestyles of online gamers shows that:

• 85% of MMOG players regularly communicate outside of the game with people they play with regards to game related issues (i.e. scheduling, advice/support, small talk)
• Social interaction is a primary motivation for players of MMOGs and is an extension of "real world" relationships

These community statistics represents a tremendous opportunity for online game developers, publishers and distributors to differentiate themselves in the market, drive revenue and create an unprecedented gaming experience.

Vivox Precision Studio delivers high quality IP communications and behavior controls lacking in other online tools. Rules can be set at varying levels to monitor and manage ensuring safety and comfort for all players, no matter age or experience level. In addition, scalability is never an issue through Vivox's managed services. In-game and out-of-game communication is never limited to the size of a rented server.
