“XCast
Labs’ DV&V Platform has made an incredible contribution to IP
Communications and has also delivered great solutions for its clients,” stated Rich
Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “The Company truly stands apart; unlike offerings from
other wholesale service providers, XCast’ platform not only supports customers
with an integrated back office system, but also delivers 99.995% uptime and
significantly advanced functionality.
Also, what really caught our attention was its ability to activate
service for customers within 10-15 days, compared to other service providers
that need several months.”
XCast Labs
CEO, Cliff Rees, will speak as part of the “Technology Innovations in Video
Conferencing” panel at the upcoming ITEXPO East 2010 in Miami on January 22,
2010, at 10:30 AM. His expertise was requested for this session, as video
conferencing is quickly becoming a key element of collaborative business
environments thanks to the enhancements in video capabilities. XCast Labs has internally developed the
ability to deliver high-quality video to a number of applications like real-time
video conferencing, broadcasting and streaming. The panel will discuss the evolution of
video-based collaboration and how to leverage the latest technology to achieve
