Shanghai joins Tata Communications’ global telepresence network

USA & INDIA: Tata Communications announced the addition of a state-of-the-art “virtual meeting” telepresence suite to its global network, situated in the heart of downtown Shanghai.

Launched in partnership with China Mobile and JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai, the new in-hotel facility located within the 5* luxury JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Tomorrow Square, provides participants a life-sized, high definition and immersive virtual collaboration experience.

Telepresence is the next generation of video conferencing that provides a fully immersive, life-like and high definition ‘virtual’ meeting experience. This creates the potential to improve all sorts of business interaction through better and more frequent meetings, resulting in stronger customer relationships and accelerated sales cycles, better project management and tighter integration of remote offices.

Through a partnership with China Mobile, the JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Telepresence facility will be connected to Tata Communications’ Global Meeting Exchange telepresence inter-exchange network - one of the broadest and widest-reaching telepresence networks available today.

This network has connectivity to all Tata Communications’ private telepresence rooms as well as the customers of service providers with whom it has inter-exchange connectivity agreements in place, and vice versa. Tata Communications’ Global Meeting Exchange telepresence inter-exchange network also serves as a gateway to its public room telepresence network with more than 40 rooms across five continents.
