Global Crossing Conferencing, a subsidiary of the giant network,
and INTERVU Inc. Wednesday teamed
to deliver audio and video streaming services to Global Crossing’s customers.
The first product from the new relationship will appear in
the form of Global Crossing Conferencing’s Webcast service. The service will
combine INTERVU’s streaming network with Global Crossing Conferencing’s
services, spanning reservations through billing.
This will allow conferencing
users to increase the reach of their meetings through live and on-demand
streaming of audio and video conferences. The service will be available to
Global Crossing Conferencing’s (GBLX) users in the second quarter of 2000.
“Our goal is to provide customers with seamless, powerful communication
tools. Building our Webcast services on INTERVU’s high performance network
will allow us to provide reliable, high quality solutions to our customers,”
said Don Poulter, president of Global Crossing Conferencing.”
