Glowpoint to showcase the “In-Room Virtual Video Valet” concept at Hospitality Industry Show

 

HILLSIDE, NJ. June 20, 2006 -- Glowpoint, Inc. (OTC:GLOW .PK), a world leading broadcast-quality IP-based video communications service provider, announced today that it has partnered with IBM to showcase the “In-Room Virtual Video Valet” concept at the upcoming HITEC conference, GUESTROOM 2010.  Held from June 20th – 22nd in Minneapolis, MN, HITEC is the largest most comprehensive display of technologies dedicated towards the hospitality industry.

 

The “In-Room Virtual Video Valet” concept is an all-in-one hardware-software solution with a videoconferencing system, boasting a large 20 inch wide screen display that doubles as a PC monitor, which runs over Glowpoint’s dedicated IP-based video network. The system will offer hotel customers a unique experience to use video to communicate with hotel concierges, their colleagues back in the office, and family members around the world.

 

“This is an example of how Glowpoint’s unique capabilities and services, in this case our Video Operator service, can be repurposed for new video applications,” said Michael Brandofino, President and CEO of Glowpoint. “It is nice to be considered as a video services innovator and be able to partner with a company like IBM on this project. The goal is to show the hospitality industry that new and exciting video technologies and applications are no longer just concepts, they are realities with Glowpoint.”
