Verizon to provide conferencing services to NASAJan 15, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Verizon Business has announced that it will provide NASA with audio, video and web conferencing services. Under a new agreement valued at more than $108 million if all options are exercised, Verizon Business will be the primary conferencing services provider to NASA centers and facilities as well as select contractor locations. Verizon Business is providing the services under the US General Services Administration's Networx Universal contract, which is scheduled to run through 2017. Verizon Business had previously provided audio, Web and video conferencing to NASA. Under the new agreement, the company will be implementing a high-definition, Internet protocol instant video-conferencing solution that will allow NASA to use IP networks to quickly set up high-definition video conferences. Susan Zeleniak, group president of Verizon Federal, a sales organization within Verizon Business dedicated to serving federal government customers, said: "By providing a range of advanced conferencing technologies, we are helping NASA both reduce travel costs and improve how the organization collaborates." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
