Global Crossing Promotes Point-to-Point iVideoconferencing

Global Crossing introduced an operator-assisted videoconferencing service for international point-to-point callers. The company said its new offer simplifies the end-user's experience, eliminates call bridging fees, provides lower ISDN rates, and improves the quality of the point-to-point videoconference user experience. Video callers employ a Web-based reservation system to schedule a call. At the time of the call, Global Crossing operators bridge the two endpoints, check transmission quality, and troubleshoot connections when necessary. The service is based on Global Crossing's recently announced multi-point iVideoconferencing platform, which leverages the company's private IP backbone network for the long-haul portion of the call rather than using the PSTN end-to-end.
