Touchline Video to become distributor of MNS’ Global Video Conferencing Network

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- OSLO, NORWAY and READING, UK: Media Network Services (MNS) and Touchline Video today announced Touchline Video to become a distributor of MNS’ Global Video Conferencing Network Service.

Touchline Video, distributor of LifeSize and Mirial video conferencing solutions, will with MNS enable their resellers across the UK to provide video conferencing solutions with network-out-of-the box supplied by MNS. Resellers get the immediate benefit of faster deployments as video endpoints only need to be connected to the Internet and clients get the benefit of a maximized HD video conference experience to arbitrary destinations worldwide (internally, externally and B2B).

“We are very excited about the opportunity to provide our resellers and their clients a global network service that not only will enhance the experienced video quality compared to the average video call, but that also will extend the reach of HD video conferencing to B2B and arbitrary destinations while using Internet as last mile”, says Barry Cross, Managing Director of Touchline Video.

“We are honored to have Touchline Video become a distributor of MNS and believe our network-out-the-box will speed up the sales and deployment process for Touchline Video’s resellers and provide them with the competitive edge of guaranteeing their clients a maximized HD experience when calling customers, partners, vendors and suppliers anywhere in the world. After all, the experienced video quality is only as good as the network, and our commitment to take full ownership of the network quality between arbitrary video conferencing endpoints addresses this challenge”, says Hans Fredrik Johansen, CEO of MNS.

MNS’ Global Network is dedicated to video conferencing, combining the reach of Internet with a carrier grade network. MNS’ Global Network is provisioned by multiple international carriers in a meshed network topology offering full redundancy and has 50+ Points of Presence around the world with peering arrangements with most local ISPs.
