Virtual meetings are a hit

 Providing a high-definition virtual conference experience that emulates a face-to-face meeting, the UAE Capital's first Etisalat Public Telepresence room at Beach Rotana, Abu Dhabi is making it easier for local business to connect with partners, customers and colleagues around the world.

Launched on 12 April, the cutting-edge technology, developed in collaboration with Tata Communications and Cisco, allows users to connect with up to six participants on either side of a call between 42 Telepresence centres worldwide, including those in New York, London, Mumbai and Shanghai. Available 24-hours a day, it is ideal for those looking to reduce costs and save on flying time, without missing out on deals.

 Abdulla Al Ahmed, Senior Vice Presidence – Business at Etisalat said: “The UAE’s economy is growing rapidly and in an era where physical meetings are paving the way for virtual readiness, the new service will help multinationals extend their each globally while reducing operations costs.”

It costs AED2,000 for a onehour session. Visit www.etisalat. ae/telepresence to book.
