U.S. Troops in Iraq Connect With Family and Friends via TelePresenceMay 8, 2008 – TEMECULA, CALIF. and EVANS MILLS, N.Y. – With Mother's Day just around the corner, Cisco, Verizon Business and Wal-Mart, along with SkyPort Global Communications and the USO (United Service Organizations), are helping to provide virtual family reunions for U.S. troops serving in Iraq. A lifelike, immersive video communications technology - known as Cisco® TelePresence - allows the troops to bridge the distance and speak to and see loved ones at home.
"Cisco TelePresence demonstrates the power of communicating and collaborating real-time as though you were meeting face-to-face," said John Chambers, chairman and CEO of Cisco. "Our companies are very proud to join together to honor and recognize our troops and their loved ones. We hope military families will take advantage of this technology and connect with our service men and women overseas during the upcoming holidays."
