Dubai-based FVC, a leading value added IT distributor in Middle East & North Africa (MENA), joins its partner, Sight & Sound, to launch a Telepresence Centre in Nairobi, Kenya.
Launched in collaboration with Orange, the commercial facility complete with a Polycom OTX 300 Immersive Telepresence Suite, will be hosted at the ESBC’s new Business Centre at the Landmark Plaza. The new Telepresence Centre will be used to demonstrate the value of video conferencing to local businesses.
“Collaborative work groups, global development teams and everyday meetings are enhanced by the clarity, rich video and content detail offered by Polycom’s Open Telepresence Experience (OTX)…” says FVC’s General Manager for East and West Africa, Ahmed Youssef.
“Our team of experts has been providing audio video conferencing solutions to customers in Kenya and this region, for a long time. Our solutions not only equip conference rooms with this technology but also empower the users by connecting from their smart phones and tablets. The service we launch today takes this to the next level by bringing the fully immersive telepresence experience to users,” says the CEO of Sight & Sound, Rajesh Lakhani.
During the launch event, guests experienced live Telepresence with an interactive call with specialists overseas. The launch coincided with the recent official opening of FVC’s office in Kenya.
