Sony and GlowPoint Team Up on ''Instant Video Everywhere'' IP-Based Communication Service

Sony Electronics and GlowPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLOW)
today announced the availability of Sony's IVE or "Instant Video
Everywhere" service powered by GlowPoint, the first comprehensive
IP-based video communications solution that can be used any place
where there is broadband access.
   Sony's IVE service, powered by GlowPoint, enables users to conduct
"face-to-face" video conversations with colleagues, friends and family
as easily as using a telephone. The IVE (pronounced "ivy") service
portfolio has been developed to extend across multiple Sony product
lines, moving beyond the conference room and typical videoconferencing
equipment to desktop or laptop computers and other video-enabled
devices.
   Sony's IVE Business service, available now, is the first offering
in the IVE portfolio. It is designed to meet the needs of office-based
business professionals.
   Sony's new IVE Mobile service, scheduled to debut at Infocomm
beginning June 8, is focused on video communications capabilities for
telecommuters, home office workers and business travelers in the U.S.
and around the world. IVE Mobile will offer exclusive, feature-rich
capabilities including one-click access to a live IVE Video Operator.
Advanced registration is immediately available at www.sonyive.com.
   Additional IVE offerings include Sony's IVE Home service, targeted
to deliver a broad range of consumer-based video communication
solutions.
   "We've created an engaging communications experience, allowing
people to interact wherever they are," said Michael McCausland, vice
president of visual communications at Sony Electronics. "Using the
power of IP-based video, we have teamed up with GlowPoint to expand
video communications beyond the conference room to where people
actually conduct business - at their desks, in their home offices or
on the road. Sony's new IVE service is a key element of our vision to
transform communications by integrating and interconnecting people,
locations, devices and content in real-time over unlimited distances
with an unsurpassed level of quality."
   While fully integrated for use with Sony's state-of-the-art
IPELA(TM) visual communications product line, the IVE service is an
open standards solution that is operable for all companies using
IP-enabled videoconferencing equipment, regardless of product
manufacturer.
   "This is more than a video communications product and service,"
said David Trachtenberg, president and CEO of GlowPoint. "It is a
video-enabled community that truly delivers on the promise of anytime,
anywhere face-to-face communications. This is the first in a series of
IVE solutions offered by Sony and powered by GlowPoint that will
ultimately change the way people communicate in their jobs and their
everyday lives - whether at work, in a home office, airport lounge,
hotel room or coffee shop."
   Sony's IVE service incorporates GlowPoint's "All You Can See"
Unlimited Video Calling plans and patent-pending interactive video
communications features, including access to live Sony "000" Video
Operators and "Lisa," the IVE Video Call Assistant, as well as
innovative applications such as Video Call Mailboxes and Direct-Dial
Video Numbers. Customers of Sony's IVE service will also have access
to exclusive Sony content.
   For example, users can dial "S-O-N-Y" (7669) to reach the IVE
Video Portal for instant access to video previews of feature films,
special promotions for new Sony products, IVE service updates, video
customer service and more. These features are integrated into the IVE
service to create a consistent customer experience from wherever video
communications are occurring.

   IVE Mobile: Taking IP Video on the Road

   Sony's IVE Mobile service is a software-based personal video
solution for virtually "anywhere, anytime" communications over a
broadband connection.
   The service makes placing a video call from out of the office as
easy and spontaneous as placing a cellular phone call. The
architecture, designed and powered by GlowPoint, is based on Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP), and creates an easy-to-use customer
experience with embedded firewall traversal and a self-configuring
installation process. The SIP-based device enables the solution to
leverage other SIP-based products providing future integration
opportunities with instant messaging and presence capabilities.
   The personal video solution leverages the industry's first fully
deployed production SIP to H.323 gateway that was recently installed
in the GlowPoint core IP network. This technology enables any user of
Sony's IVE Mobile SIP client to see or talk to virtually any other
visual communications client using either traditional conference room
H.323 or legacy ISDN (H.320) video systems, a landline, cellular or
even a 3G phone.
   "As a current user of videoconferencing, I thought it would be
interesting to be one of the first users of IVE Mobile," stated Helene
Dublisky, CIO of Infilaw, a Florida-based consortium of Independent
Law Schools. "But I didn't anticipate just how much it would change
the way I communicate using video. We are a geographically dispersed
group with a broad range of technical skills. With IVE Mobile, we're
able to easily initiate face-to-face communications with business
associates and friends whenever and wherever we want."
   Sony's IVE Mobile service will also be 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.
   The services are already in use at select customer sites across
the U.S. and at Sony offices nationwide. The services are also
available for demonstration at Sony interactive product showrooms in
major U.S. cities.
   Sony's IVE Business and IVE Mobile services will be demonstrated
in Las Vegas from June 8 to June 10 during the Infocomm industry
conference in a special IVE Cafe at booth 3084 at the Las Vegas
Convention Center.

powered by GlowPoint, including an interactive product tour and
pricing information, is available at www.sonyive.com.
