[February 10, 2012] Glowpoint selected by Stryker Communications to enhance IP video platform for operating rooms Tweet Feb 10, 2012 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- Glowpoint Inc (NYSE Amex: GLOW), a provider of cloud managed video services, said on Thursday that Stryker Communications, a designer and integrator of operating rooms, has added Glowpoint's cloud managed video services to its IP video platform for videoconferencing and broadcasting from operating rooms. The company said that as part of the partnership, financial details of which were not available, Stryker will integrate Glowpoint's cloud-based Virtual Video Room (VVR) into its ConnectSuite IP Video platform to enable ad-hoc, multi-party videoconferencing from operating rooms. This integration is expected to allow medical professionals to easily collaborate with others from locations within and outside of the hospital's network. In addition, Stryker will also be adding Glowpoint's video webcasting capabilities to ConnectSuite in order to enable live video broadcasts from within the OR to reach viewers all over the world on videoconferencing systems, PC desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Glowpoint's VVR is a 'meet-me' service for SIP and H.323 based videoconferencing systems fully hosted from the OpenVideo cloud, eliminating the need for hospitals to invest in on-network video infrastructure and support. The enhancements to Stryker's ConnectSuite IP video platform, including Glowpoint's cloud managed services, are expected to be available later in 2012.
