Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise launches Rainbow Webinar for secure events

Tue, 3rd Jun 2025

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has launched Rainbow Webinar, a new cloud-based platform for hosting virtual events in Europe.

Rainbow Webinar is designed to support businesses of various sizes in conducting large-capacity virtual events, internal conferences, and public webinars. The platform aims to address the increasing need for flexible and secure digital collaboration as remote work remains prevalent across organisations.

The company highlights that Rainbow Webinar enables geographically dispersed teams, including sales teams and employees stationed in multiple locations, to connect and collaborate efficiently within a secure virtual environment. The platform is tailored to ensure seamless participation for both internal staff members and external guests, facilitating mobility and engagement in a single space.

Rainbow Webinar is part of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's suite of cloud solutions and provides a set of features intended to streamline event planning and execution. The platform includes tools for easy scheduling, management, and monitoring of events, as well as integration with external speakers and participants. This integration allows organisers to invite a diverse range of experts and facilitate smooth interactions during events.

Security is a core element of Rainbow Webinar. The platform deploys advanced encryption protocols, role-based access control, and adheres to global data privacy standards. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise states that Rainbow Webinar's security infrastructure ensures data protection and secure communications for all users, and provides a safe environment for organisations across various sectors.

Additional features include comprehensive analytics and reporting to help organisers assess audience behaviour and engagement. Event organisers can use these insights to optimise future virtual events. Interactive elements such as polling, chat functions, session recordings, and a raise hand feature are also available, aiming to facilitate active participation and maintain audience engagement throughout the event.

The platform comes equipped with advanced videoconferencing capabilities, offering high-quality audio and video to promote clear communication and support professional standard presentations. Rainbow Webinar is available through the company's cloud communication platform, Rainbow, and via a network of business partners.

Commenting on the launch, Moussa Zaghdoud, EVP of the Cloud Communications Business Division at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, said: "With Rainbow Webinar, we are redefining the virtual event experience for businesses. Drawing inspiration from live theatre, we've designed every feature to enhance the performance — from immersive audio-visual quality to dynamic presentation tools and enterprise-grade security. It's a stage crafted for companies to captivate their audiences, boost engagement, and deliver measurable impact."

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has positioned Rainbow Webinar as a solution geared towards reinforcing internal collaboration, enhancing training, and strengthening company culture. The platform is designed with a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive feature set to meet the demands of virtual event organisers seeking secure and scalable options for their events.

Rainbow Webinar is available now to businesses through both the cloud and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's business partner network.
