Tata Communications has announced it will introduce telepresence exchange services for Cisco TelePresence, a major expansion of its telepresence services. The Global Meeting Exchange will support meetings between any connected private and public Cisco TelePresence rooms.
Tata Communications is in discussion with a number of regional carriers to collaborate on extending the Global Meeting Exchange into geographically diverse markets. As a result, any business with a connection to the Global Meeting Exchange will have access to set up Cisco TelePresence virtual meetings with its users.
Tata Communications’ telepresence services include managed private Cisco TelePresence rooms, public TelePresence rooms that can be rented by the hour, and the ability for these private and public rooms to connect with each other. Tata’s Global Meeting Exchange will have major telepresence service points of presence (PoPs) in Mumbai, New York and London, and minor points of presence co-resident in Tata’s global MPLS PoPs in major cities around the world. Customer connections will be supported at any of many easily reached PoPs and this globally dispersed PoP distribution will ensure optimum performance with short connection paths.
