IVE Mobile Designed for Anytime, Anywhere Video Communications for
Telecommuters, Home Office Workers and Business Travelers Worldwide
for as Low as $35 Per Month
Glowpoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLOW), the world's leading
broadcast-quality IP-based video communications service provider,
today announced the availability of Sony's "Instant Video Everywhere,"
or IVE, Mobile service powered by GlowPoint. IVE Mobile (pronounced
"ivy"), the most recent product in the suite of comprehensive IP-based
video communications solutions introduced earlier this month by Sony
and GlowPoint, can be downloaded directly from www.sonyive.com.
The video communications market, which has been estimated to grow
to $10 billion worldwide by 2007, is expected to be fueled by the
availability of lower-priced, flexible solutions that greatly expand
the use of video as a standard business communications tool. To take
advantage of this increased demand, Sony's IVE Mobile service is
available through Sony Electronics and its authorized
videoconferencing resellers for as low as $35 per month with an annual
subscription from GlowPoint. Credit card billing is also available.
The new IVE Mobile service can be used virtually anywhere there is
broadband access and is designed to meet the video communications
needs of telecommuters, home office workers and business travelers in
the U.S. and around the world. Announced on June 1 and showcased last
week for the first time at the 2005 Infocomm exhibit in Las Vegas,
Sony's IVE Mobile solution has already received thousands of
pre-release registration requests from U.S. and international
locations. Additionally, pre-release "beta" customers have already
been migrated to paying subscribers.
"After using the IVE Mobile service as a beta user, we have found
it to be a great way to extend the value of the investment we have
already made in our room-based videoconferencing systems," said Bob
McDuffee, IT Manager of American Management Services, a leading
business consultancy based in Orlando, FL. "With the IVE Mobile
service, we've already been able to take video to where we actually do
business, which quite often is far outside our conference room and
office environment."
"The availability of the IVE Mobile service truly brings video
communications to where customers do business and live their lives,"
said David Trachtenberg, president and chief executive officer of
GlowPoint. "By using the IVE Mobile service, customers can now
experience the same feature-rich video communication service available
in their office conference rooms no matter where they are -- whether
working from home or in a remote office, on a business trip at a
hotel, airport lounge or coffee shop. Face-to-face video
communications is now as easy as one click of the mouse."
Sony's IVE Mobile service incorporates GlowPoint's "All You Can
See" Unlimited Video Calling plans and patent-pending interactive
video communications features, including the first "one-click" access
to live Sony Video Operators and "Lisa," the IVE Video Call Assistant,
as well as innovative applications such as Video Call Mailboxes and
Direct Dial Video Numbers. In addition, customers of the IVE Mobile
service also have access to the Sony Video Portal. By dialing
"S-O-N-Y" (7669), subscribers will have instant access to video
previews of feature films, special promotions for new Sony products,
IVE service updates, video customer service and more.
Sony's IVE Mobile service is also available as a bundled offering
for IVE Business customers using Sony PCS-TL50 desktop
videoconferencing systems. The combined solution will provide
customers the ability to un-dock their laptop computer and, using
innovative "Follow Me" video technology, be contacted at the same
10-digit Direct Dial Video Number they use at their desk while
traveling away from the office.
"Our collaboration with GlowPoint on Sony's IVE Mobile service has
allowed us to focus on expanding video communications beyond the
conference room by providing customers with a personal video
communications solution for use at their desks, in their home offices
or on the road," said Michael McCausland, vice president of visual
communications at Sony Electronics. "We can now truly deliver a video
communications service that offers anytime, anywhere video
communications."
