Glowpoint Signs Broadcast Sector Contract Worth More Than $240,000 Annually

Team-CamHD used to cover college sports



HILLSIDE, N.J. August 28, 2007 Glowpoint, Inc. (OTC:GLOW.PK), a premiere broadcast-quality, IP-based managed video services provider, announced that it has secured a deal with a major sports network to install Glowpoint services, marketed as Team-CamHD, at 11 colleges around the country and in the broadcasters head-end studio in Chicago. The services include the deployment of Glowpoints quality network connectivity along with a full range of managed video services. The sports network will leverage Glowpoints service in order to do interviews with coaches and players for the upcoming college sports season. In addition to covering football, the network will be able to add coverage for college sports that normally get minimal TV coverage, commonly referred to as Olympic Sports.

 

Glowpoint will now be deployed at more than 25 colleges, providing unparalleled access to coaches and players from a wide array of college sports, said Mike Brandofino, Glowpoints president and CEO. While this recent win is focused on college football, Glowpoints high-quality, cost-effective services have made it possible for broadcasters to cover all types of lower-profile sports.

 

 As a company, we continue to see revenue growth from the broadcast sector due to the addition of new customers, as well as an increase in deployments by existing customers, Brandofino said.

 

Glowpoint provides IP-based broadcast solutions for national networks and cable TV providers to enable on-demand content acquisition from fixed remote locations. Glowpoints always on, exclusive video network connectivity reduces transport costs by up to 80 percent as compared to traditional satellite feeds.
