TokBox
TokBox was a PaaS company that provided hosted infrastructure, APIs and tools required to deliver enterprise-grade WebRTC capabilities. It did so primarily through its proprietary OpenTok video platform for commercial application.
TokBox was founded by Serge Faguet and Ron Hose. Headquartered in the SOMA district in San Francisco, CA. TokBox was acquired by Telefónica Digital, a subsidiary of Telefónica, in October 2012.. It was purchased from Telefónica by Vonage in 2018. Vonage has since retired the name "TokBox", using "Vonage APIs" instead.
