Verizon expands Global Telepresence with Tata Communications
Under a new agreement with Tata Communications, Verizon is extending the range of its immersive video, or telepresence, offering to enable virtual face-to-face collaboration in more locations around the world. The agreement enables meetings to take place between Verizon's telepresence customers and any public or private telepresence room on the Tata Communications Global Meeting Exchange. This will supplement Verizon's telepresence offering powered by its expansive global Private Internet Protocol Network service. Similarly, Tata Communications telepresence customers can use Verizon's facilities to communicate with Verizon customers.
Farooq Muzaffar, Vice-President of enterprise network and communications solutions, Verizon, said, "As businesses expand beyond the traditional four walls of an office building, we are seeing more of our customers turning to advanced collaboration tools like telepresence for a bigger impact on their overall productivity and performance."
Peter Quinlan, Vice-President, integrated business video services, Tata Communications, said, "Intercarrier connections such as this one will benefit customers by offering a broader telepresence business ecosystem that connects regardless of network or service provider."
Verizon and Tata Communications customers currently can use Cisco TelePresence to conduct intercarrier telepresence meetings. Plans are under way to establish similar agreements with other immersive video providers and services to further expand the availability of telepresence.
