Telecom Lead America: Applied Global Technologies (AGT),
a managed services and Unified Communications technology provider, and Yorktel,
a video managed services provider, announced their alliance to enable Yorktel
to embed AGT’s mobile video conferencing solutions within its new and existing
offerings.
The alliance allows Yorktel to sell a mobile video
conferencing gateway that attaches to existing Cisco and Polycom
infrastructures, in addition to enabling their Cloud-based service via mobile
video conferencing apps.
AGT’s valued partnership with Yorktel expands our global
footprint and further proves the industry demand for a mobile video platform
that can either be attached to existing infrastructure or deployed in a cloud
environment,” said Mike Valletutti, chief executive officer of AGT.
Recently, Yorktel unveiled Video Cloud Connect+ (YVCC+)
that enables existing customers to expand and extend their video network. YVCC+
allows traditional Telepresence, HD Video rooms and UC clients to seamlessly
connect for multi-point and meet-me calls.
The company is ensuring interoperability by including
ENCORE’s Mobile Pathway Protocol, a universal standard mobile pathway developed
by AGT. The protocol leverages open and secure standard web ports to enable
video communication between HD video conferencing systems, smartphones, tablets
and laptops.
The partnership enables AGT to provide Yorktel branded
apps that will be available in the Mac App store.
Yorktel will deliver custom apps that support markets
such as financial services, pharmaceutical, government and healthcare. It
enables smartphone and tablet users to interact and share content in meetings,
connecting users through different private networks and without requiring
additional firewall traversal solutions.
AGT’s mobility technology provides a secure, on-premise
attach solution for our clients that require a single-port solution for peering
private networks,” said Bin Guan, chief technology officer of Yorktel.
