Business Wire
Glowpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLOW), the world's leading broadcast
quality IP-based video communications service provider, announced
today that it is presenting Sony's Instant Video Everywhere (IVE)
service, powered by GlowPoint, as an outsourced video
communications solution available to cable operators at the
CableLabs(R) Summer Conference, August 14-17, 2005 in Keystone,
Colorado. GlowPoint has teamed with Sony to create a flexible,
scaleable and quick-to-market solution for cable operators
interested in adding two-way IP-based video communication services
to their customer offerings. The IVE(TM) (pronounced "ivy")
service, powered by GlowPoint, enables users to conduct
"face-to-face" video conversations with colleagues, friends and
family as easily as using a telephone. GlowPoint can work with
cable operators to 'GlowPoint enable' their networks, allowing them
to market a self-branded video service to residential and
enterprise customers in their footprint. The IVE service
incorporates telephone-like ease-of-use, exclusive patent-pending
features and innovative applications including '000' Live Video
Operator service, Direct Dial Video Numbers, Video Call Mailboxes
and access to "Lisa," the Video Call Assistant. "Today's cable
operators are looking beyond the triple play of television
programming, voice communications and Internet connectivity," said
Stuart Gold, vice president, brand and product marketing at
GlowPoint. "IP-based video communications is the next generation of
services to offer their customers at the office, in the home and on
the road." "The IVE suite of video solutions has created a next
generation service by taking video from the conference room and
delivering it directly to end users," said Eric Murphy, vice
president of video communications at Sony. "We are excited to be
able to work with cable operators to offer new services to their
customers, opening new revenue possibilities and increasing their
bottom line." The IVE suite of services is a user-friendly video
communication solution focused on broadening the use of IP-based
video in and out of traditional office environments. The IVE
service has been developed to move video beyond the standard
conference room environment by extending across multiple Sony
product lines under the categories of IVE Business, IVE Mobile and
IVE Home services. While the IVE Business service is designed to
meet the needs of office-based business professionals, the IVE
Mobile service shifts the focus to desktop and mobile video
communications for telecommuters, home office workers and business
travelers. The planned IVE Home service is targeted at delivering a
broad range of consumer based video communication solutions that
integrate into familiar home based products including televisions
and gaming consoles. About GlowPoint Glowpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLOW)
