TEC-Networks Introduces Streaming Video-Enabled E-Mail Messaging Platform

TEC-Networks launched beta testing of Nova NetMedia, a complete streaming text, audio and video Web-based e-mail messaging platform available. The company is forwarding the use of streaming media e-mail as a cost-effective marketing tool for companies to broaden their marketing exposure.

Nova NetMedia streams video or audio e-mail directly into recipients' e-mail boxes without requiring the installation of a media player or additional software. Streaming technology means the audio and/or video file will start playing as soon as the recipient clicks a hyperlink contained within the e-mail. According to Ken Owen, CEO of TEC-Networks, it is at least 100 percent faster than attaching a bandwidth-consuming audio or video file to an e-mail that must be downloaded before it is viewed.

"This complete Web-based messaging platform allows users to send and receive audio, video and text messages from any Internet connection in the world," said Owen. "Businesses no longer can function without e-mail, so why not give it some personality while increasing your productivity and marketing exposure?"

To address the unique needs of businesses and consumers alike, TEC-Networks is marketing two editions of Nova NetMedia. The Professional Edition, available for $19.99 per month, per e-mail account, includes 150 streaming minutes each month. The Corporate Edition, available for a monthly fee starting at $50, offers a custom ad showcase and WebMail interface. Using the Corporate Edition, companies can send audio and audio/video e-mails with their own personalized HTML interface, graphics and banners.
