The Private Office (http://www.theprivateoffice.com), a Westchester, New York firm offering shared office facilities, virtual support and administrative services, today announced a fiber optics upgrade by Cablevision Lightpath and touted its impact on videoconferencing and other electronic services for its clients.
By installing 10 megabyte fiber-optic circuits at its two office business centers in Rye Brook and White Plains, NY, The Private Office increased its circuit capacity, bandwidth and speed for sophisticated communications such as teleconferencing, VoIP and data transmissions.
George Russell, President of The Private Office, said, “The installation by Lightpath gives us the flexibility our clients demand to respond to their changing needs. We are particularly proud of its effect on our videoconferencing capacity in light of the recent uncertainties, expense and inconvenience of air travel.”
Mr. Russell went on to describe the company’s videoconferencing equipment and logistics. The Private Office provides the latest Polycom high-definition system with dual 42-inch plasma screens and uses either an IP or ISDN high-speed connection. Bridging is provided for multiple remote locations, and the set-up is carefully tested prior to the videoconference.
Other electronic services offered by The Private Office include website administration, imaging and electronic-document creation for enhanced proposals, financial statements, brochures, banners and signs. On-site technical support represents a significant savings compared to a dedicated I.T. consultant.
