A preview of the new unified Cisco TelePresence service for research and education (R&E), formally announced today by Internet2 and NLR, was provided at last week’s ESCC/Internet2’s Joint Techs Conference by Ben Fineman (Internet2) and Brent Sweeny (Indiana University, GRNOC and NLR Engineering).
In a joint presentation, Ben and Brent described the shared objective of connecting islands and making Cisco TelePresence widely available to US R&E in a presentation that can be viewed at: http://www.internet2.edu/presentations/jt2010feb/20100201-sweeny-fineman.pdf. For video, see: http://events.internet2.edu/2010/jt-slc/agenda.cfm?go=stream&sessid=10000992&streamtype=23&live=0.
More details about the new service will be announced. In the meantime, questions or comments can be sent to cisco-telepresence-request@internet2.edu or cisco-telepresence-request@nlr.net. To subscribe to a mailing list: cisco-telepresence-info@internet2.edu or cisco-telepresence-info@nlr.net.
