WBS Connect Releases “Virtual In Person” High Definition Video Conferencing
July 10th, 2008 by Video Conferencing Expert
WBS Connect, a Denver-based web conferencing and video conferencing company, announced “Virtual In Person,” a high-definition video conferencing and telepresence service. WBS Connect claims the video conferencing service gives customers the ability “to seamlessly perform business-to-business and network-to-network telepresence and video conferencing online meetings, even when groups are on different private networks.”
The new global gateway will provide users the ability to easily place high-definition video conference calls between users on different networks. The service could be used for HD interviews in lieu of travel to a remote location, pointing to a key reason so many users are turning to webcasting and video conferencing: rising fuel prices.
WBS Connect claims it will bridge disparate HD video conferencing systems for customers from hardware manufacturers such as Polycom, Tandberg, Cisco, and LifeSize. The company said it currently has a presence in carrier-neutral data centers in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Newark, Seattle, London, Toronto, and Amsterdam.
WBS Connect Managing Partner, Scott Charter:
Telepresence and video conferencing is the killer application for the 21st century.”
Virtual In Person high-definition video conferencing and telepresence is new to WBS Connect. The company’s existing services include IP transmission, Content Delivery Network (CDN) services, data center co-location services, and consulting. It also manages web-based scheduling and a user-centric Video Network Operations Center (VNOC), which it said helps ensure successful videoconferences.
