BONN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - June 7, 2010) - Deutsche Telekom, Cisco (
Deutschland TelePresence allows the DFB management in South Africa and Germany to communicate with each other with the highest video and audio quality.
The video collaboration service between South Africa and Germany is the first application of its kind for Deutsche Telekom and Cisco, and an important step in the right direction. It is the first international application of Deutschland TelePresence -- utilising offshore fiber optic cables and covering an as-the-crow-flies distance of 8,000 kilometers.
Deutsche Telekom and Cisco are providing the DFB with the TelePresence service and TelePresence systems for a planned duration of three years. In addition to internal communication within the federation, the DFB uses the live virtual meeting system for direct communications with collaboration partners. Deutschland TelePresence is available in various versions. Each complete package includes the entire range of services from planning, via system set up, up to its operation. Specifically, the individual components include broadband network connections to the Internet, Cisco TelePresence system, a switching service, booking systems, a powerful security package, as well as installation, operation, and maintenance. All components are optimally synchronized, providing customers with simple and problem-free operation at the push of a button.
Deutsche Telekom has been a partner of the DFB and a "Premium Partner" of the national men's, women's and youth teams since 2005. The Group is also a national sponsor of the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany. Alongside these sports commitments, Deutsche Telekom also uses football as a platform for promising business models. The partnership opens up a string of opportunities for demonstrating the full innovative strength of Europe's leading telecommunications provider with new products and services.
