AT&T announced the ability to link multiple Cisco TelePresence suites through its interconnection option.

“AT&T Inc. announced today the availability of multipoint, intercompany connectivity via the AT&T Telepresence Solution. The solution allows companies to extend Cisco TelePresence multipoint meetings beyond the enterprise boundary to help enable meetings with customers, suppliers and partners using the AT&T Business Exchange.

The AT&T Telepresence Solution creates unique, ‘in-person’ experiences with the simplicity of a phone call as well as provides a ‘meet me’ feature with a secure PIN code that simplifies intercompany calling – a key component and an industry-first feature that distinguishes the AT&T solution from any other telepresence offer available today. Cisco TelePresence Multipoint is the ability to bring many rooms together in a single meeting, so that people can sit face to face in one virtual meeting room, without any performance degradation.”

In this time of economic difficulty, leveraging what you have for meetings without travel is a great strategy.
