Vidtel Partners with IP5280 to Deliver Video Conferencing Service for SMEs
By Mariette J. Wharton, VP of Marketing
A critical problem faces mid-market companies who seek to conduct business-grade multi-point video conferencing.
Almost all small-medium enterprises (SMEs) find acquiring and managing video conferencing servers, handling addressing and dealing with firewall issues too resource-consuming. The Vidtel Multi-Point (Meet Me) Video Conferencing Service is a hosted, outsourced solution that cost-effectively solves this problem. Vidtel has partnered with IP5280, which specializes in business VoIP and cloud-based communications delivered via state-of-the-art unified Internet Protocol (IP) technologies, to deliver this service to IP5280’s customer base. This service provides a hosted unified communications solution (voice and video) as part of IP5280’s best-of-breed cloud computing infrastructure, called “CLOVER,” or “CLOud OVer Enterprise Resources.”
“IP5280 is one of the industry’s best in driving hosted voice, evidenced by their distinctive focus on the value of applications to their SME customers. Their proven capabilities in successfully conveying the value of a hosted application makes them an ideal partner for us,” said Scott Wharton, CEO of Vidtel.
“Vidtel, an industry innovator and leader in the video communications industry, has developed an offer that exemplifies the type of cloud-based unified communication application we seek to offer. Vidtel Meet Me Video Conferencing Service will be the first application provided by a strategic partner who is added into the IP5280 CLOVER network, designed specifically to optimize the performance of interactive cloud-based applications,“ said Jeffrey Pearl, co-founder and managing partner of IP5280.
Vidtel’s multi-point video conferencing service integrates IP5280’s hosted voice offering with Polycom® VVXTM 1500 business media phones and the Vidtel network. The service enables three or more VVX 1500s to connect via a simple dial-in number for on-demand multi-way video conferencing.
Beginning in Q2 2010, IP5280 will offer Vidtel’s Multi-Point (Meet Me) Video Conferencing service to its small-medium-sized enterprise customers. For more information about IP5280, contact Jeff Rundles at 303-952-2565. For Vidtel, contact Mariette Wharton at 650-353-1125.
