PARIS -- Arkadin, one of the world’s largest collaboration service providers, and Vidyo, the first company to deliver personal telepresence, announced that NTT Bizlink, a subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, has become one of the first carriers to provide video conferencing services through Vidyo’s infrastructure-less Vidyo As A Service program. This unique economic model enabled by Vidyo’s disruptive software-based hosted platform and delivered as a white label service by Arkadin, gives ICT service providers such as NTT Communications Group a fast and efficient way to broaden their offerings in the video conferencing market without requiring expensive upfront infrastructure investments.

The Arkadin hosted Vidyo service is a highly strategic offering for telecommunications service providers to rapidly enter the high growth market for personal telepresence with significant profit potential. The infrastructure-less model offers fast, scalable deployments on mobile and room systems and interoperates seamlessly with existing H.323 infrastructure investments, without requiring enterprises to buy additional MCUs. These cost advantages can increase providers’ offerings to users.

The infrastructure-less Vidyo As A Service program hosted by Arkadin will be available worldwide to Tier One Carriers and is immediately available in the US, EMEA and APAC.
