BT has become one of the two global providers to achieve Cisco Certified TelePresence Connection certification.

The certification process goes beyond static service measurement of network performance. It adds best practices based on current industry standards for network management, including staff, processes, and tools.

According to said David Stark, VP, Global Converged Propositions at BT,  “Our infrastructure supports advanced unified communications solutions, like Cisco’s TelePresence, that deliver quantifiable business benefits.”

The Cisco TelePresence solution creates live "face-to-face" meeting experiences using high-definition video and spatial audio over an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

“Cisco TelePresence provides an unprecedented ‘in-person’ meeting experience that enables customers to improve business efficiency and gives them the potential to transform their businesses,” said Charles Stucki, vice president and general manager of the Cisco TelePresence Systems group.  “In order to maintain an extremely high-quality experience while conducting Cisco TelePresence meetings, Cisco set up a tough accreditation process.  We are pleased that BT has achieved this level of quality.”
