Reliance Globalcom, the Global telecommunications services arm of Reliance Communications (one of India’s leading telecom operators), Tuesday announced the launch of end-to-end managed video conferencing services for enterprises across the globe.
The suite of services, according to the company, includes 24×7 reservation-less video bridging & meeting room management, video endpoint management, event-based temporary upgrades, value-added services and video conferencing room rental with access to 2500+ video conferencing rooms across the world.
Additionally, the suite of services will have access to 190 video conferencing rooms at Reliance World stores across 100 cities in India and will also offer end-to-end, easy to use service suite spanning Tablets, PCs, Room Systems and Telepresence systems, Reliance Communications informed.
The new service will enable Reliance Globalcom to offer customers a one-stop option for global end-to-end, integrated and customized video conferencing. Existing customers of Reliance Globalcom’s network connectivity service will have the added advantage of a fully managed collaborative network environment when they subscribe to the new video conferencing service.
“Video conferencing, besides being a green technology, has immense potential in today’s connected world. However, its adoption by organizations is often restrained by time-consuming, multi-vendor management by one or several IT teams. Our managed service is aimed at making video conferencing usage simple and effective, thereby facilitating increased adoption,” said Punit Garg, President & CEO of Reliance Globalcom.
“In the business context, video is also the logical next step for us since we already have a strong presence in audio and data domains globally. In India, Reliance has been the pioneer of video conferencing, and over the last seven years, it has changed the way organizations conduct business,” Garg added while elaborating on the demand for these services.
The company will utilize state-of-the-art video technology infrastructure (including one of the world’s few fully deployed Global Video Exchanges) and global Points-of-Presence at London, New York, Shanghai, Toronto and Hong Kong to deliver and support video services, enabling users across the world to meet instantaneously regardless of their video equipment, network provider or type of connection.
Customers of this service will be able to bring their existing video conferencing equipment onto this managed platform. The offering allows customers to choose services based on business needs, from just cloud-based reservation-less video bridging to end-to-end conferencing management, the company stated.
According to the data provided by Reliance Globalcom, Reliance facilitates 300,000 hours of video conferencing in India in a year, thereby saving up to 40,000 tons of carbon emission. Almost 2,000 organizations use Reliance’s video conferencing services for a range of business applications.
