from DSSResources.comFaceToFaceMeeting launches affordable, full-motion Videoconferencing Business Service for PCs over the public InternetPARADISE VALLEY, Ariz., June 3, 2004 -- A new, and highly secure, subscription-based videoconferencing service for businesses was launched today by FaceToFaceMeeting LLC. Subscribing companies are able to utilize existing desktop and laptop PCs to achieve high-quality videoconferencing using broadband connections (cable, DSL, wireless, ISDN, T1) over the public Internet. One of the major business sectors targeted by FaceToFaceMeeting is corporate sales forces, as well as other organizational groups that would benefit from more face-to-face meetings with colleagues rather than the increasing reliance on emails and cell phones. Further details may be found, and evaluations requested, at http://www.FaceToFaceMeeting.com. This highly secure business service employs AES 128-bit encryption of voice, video, and data. Subscribers receive an unlimited amount of videoconferencing. There is no charge per minute or per meeting. There is just one low, fixed monthly fee, enabling subscribers to hold as many face-to-face meetings as they choose, and for as long as they choose, whether they are meeting with another user locally, long distance, or overseas. Furthermore, included in this fixed monthly fee is the ability to include up to 10 participants in a FaceToFaceMeeting, with all 10 people appearing on-screen together, in Hollywood Squares style, seeing and speaking together as if they were in the same room. "Desktop and laptop videoconferencing over the public Internet is a rapidly growing market, and one in which FaceToFaceMeeting plans to be a key player," stated Peter J. Moriarty, the president and founder of FaceToFaceMeeting LLC. "With FaceToFaceMeeting, it is much easier to know and understand what someone is trying to communicate if you can see them as well as hear them," Moriarty added. Seeing facial expressions, and reading body language, is an extremely valuable part of a communication. It can account for more than 90% of any communication. It's very important in coaching, mentoring, and training, as well, of course, as in negotiating." The FaceToFaceMeeting business service also provides subscribers the ability to share Windows-based applications such as PowerPoint as well as undertake data collaboration with all participants, for example, working on an Excel spreadsheet. Additionally, the FaceToFaceMeeting business service provides subscribers with a private, organization specific on-line directory, and an on-line administrator function. This enables a subscribing company to appoint an internal administrator who can issue user identifications, passwords, etc., and move them around the organization according to specific needs at the time. ABOUT FaceToFaceMeeting LLC: Headquartered in Paradise Valley, Ariz., FaceToFaceMeeting LLC is a Prismic Corporation company. The proprietary software contains optimized compression algorithms that enable high quality synchronized voice and video over the public Internet, even when bandwidth constraints and congestion occur.
