The Global Meeting Exchange, launched by Tata Communications, will support meetings between any connected private and public Cisco TelePresence rooms. The firm 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 their ecosystem of users, achieving a very high level of collaboration without major costs and disruptions of international travel.
“The Global Meeting Exchange builds upon our current Managed telepresence private network and Public Room services; Tata’s major national network assets in India, South Africa, and later this year in China; and our inter-carrier relationships developed as a leading carrier of international voice calls and one of the largest inter-carrier providers of Internet peering. Our B2B cooperation with Cisco and partner carriers will bring a new level of value demanded by Cisco TelePresence users,” said John Landau, senior vice-president Global Managed Services, 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. To reliably and cost-effectively support global business to business (B2B) connectivity, 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.
