Bharti Airtel launches HD video exchange service for Indian enterprises

Bharti Airtel has launched managed Room Telepresence service. Indian enterprises especially the small and mid-sized organisations will now be able to upgrade to high-definition telepresence video exchange sessions from the existing standard definition video experience at Rs 799 per day per room, Airtel said.

Launched in partnership with Cisco, this latest VAAS (video-as-a-service) offering will bundle all the essential components of telepresence video calling including end point, network and VNOC to offer an integrated single SLA and single window support to customers that will be backed by 24X7 remote support with end-to-end management.

“This new solution has the potential to transform the segment as it empowers customers with a highly scalable integrated video solution at a simplified yet affordable cost,” Manish Prakash, president - Airtel Business said.

Enterprises have to now just opt for a monthly subscription plan to enable unlimited video-calling facility for employees within customer premises. The service will also interoperate with all other existing room based as well as device based video conferencing facilities within an enterprise. With this, organisations can therefore empower their employees anywhere in the country to get connected to unlimited telepresence video-calls.

Customers subscribing for this plan will also get subscribed for Airtel’s BizNet Video automatically at no additional cost. BiZNet video is the B2B video offering from Airtel’s video enabled network which enables two or more enterprise video platforms to be interconnected for a secure video call on any device, network and platform.
