ViaCast Networks announced Wednesday they will
work with Loral CyberStar to jointly deliver video
over Internet Protocol (IP) communications to all Cisco Systems’ sales and
marketing offices.
The communications network will allow sales and marketing information to be
shared between Cisco’s corporate offices more efficiently, the companies said. It will also be
used as a training resource in remote offices, allowing Cisco officials to
communicate with new employees and selling partners in several locations
simultaneously through streaming video and data information.
Dave Patten, Loral CyberStar’s senior vice president for marketing, said the
arrangement with Viacast is a “win-win for our two companies. Viacast makes a
great technology partner because of their superior broadband IP services and
management capabilities; and we are pleased to have this important
opportunity to provide worldwide broadband service coverage, installation,
and maintenance support to a company such as Cisco.”
