Glowpoint Launches Telepresence Exchange Network Service

Glowpoint,
Inc. has launched the Telepresence Exchange Network (TEN) service, designed to
solve the challenge of placing telepresence video calls between companies on
different networks as well as enabling video calls to existing conference room
and desktop environments. The TEN service enables customers to easily
“plug” into a high quality, secure public interconnect service and
perform business-to-business and network-to-network video calling.

“With more than 8 years of experience in developing and supporting a wide range
of video communications solutions that are flexible and scalable, we’ve been
able to easily adapt our solutions to support the demands of telepresence,”
said Glowpoint CEO and president Michael Brandofino. “From the first day we
launched Glowpoint, we knew that helping businesses use video to communicate
outside of their own private networks or “islands of video” was a critical
requirement. As a result, our service was designed from the start to support
business-to-business video calls and our customers have been enjoying this
service since 2001.”
Joe
Laezza, Glowpoint’s COO added “With our comprehensive and flexible secure
firewall traversal solutions, we’ve been able to deliver solutions that
accomplish inter-company video for traditional video conferencing for years.
Expanding these capabilities to support telepresence was a natural progression
and we are excited to elevate the use of telepresence and video conferencing to
a whole new level.”
