Whygo, online distributor of public video conferencing and telepresence facilities, and Telepresence Exchange International (TPEX), a Telepresence Exchange, announce a strategic partnership to help end users and channel partners schedule any telepresence system on any network.

Some telepresence equipment worth $100,000’s on certain networks will not connect to other equipment on other networks. The reasons vary but the key ones are equipment incompatibility (becoming less of an issue every week) and mainly network providers not interconnecting their networks. (For example, says Whygo, Cisco Telepresence users on the AT&T network cannot connect their Cisco Telepresence systems to any of the 42 public TelePresence rooms on the TATA network.)

Through Whygo and the TPEX exchange, users on any network using any telepresence equipment can connect. What’s more, we can connect at their full High Definition and fully immersive 3 screen layout, if they have it.

“After almost one and half years since we launched our immersive Telepresence service offering, nothing pleases me more than the ability to finally be able to say yes to customers…we can connect your private Telepresence rooms to any of our 60+ public Telepresence facilities no matter what equipment or network you use,” says James Matthews, CEO of Whygo, “The TPEX Exchange has opened up the market for every Telepresence user as they simply don’t have connection limitations anymore.”

With operations in Sydney, London and Dallas, Whygo was the first broker of public video conferencing facilities to develop and deploy an online global booking system. Users can search the largest network of live inventory in the world (over 3000+ public video conferencing facilities) to check availability and book in real time with instant confirmations.

TPEX offers state-of-the-art high-end video conferencing services that connect Telepresence through MPLS or IP based networks. They also provide the public telepresence room in Netherlands to TATA, as well as multiple private telepresence facilities in Amsterdam.
