Among carriers with telepresence-specific services, Virtela offers a high degree of differentiation through its approach to broadband redundancy and its unique access service methodology. The company's goal is to work with as many carriers and access technologies as customer demand requires. Supported services can be native Ethernet, legacy private line, frame relay, ATM, an MPLS Network-to-Network Interface (NNI), interconnection with a telepresence exchange service or IP VPN over the Internet. With the 24 x 7 supervision of the company's Global Operations Centers, carrier services are constantly monitored and the customers' connectivity and performance levels maintained at the highest levels.

Enabling a range of connectivity options is an advantage for the largest enterprise networks where the scale of operation is based on a business footprint that touches a huge geography, exceeding the coverage of any one access carrier.  This same connectivity also provides access to the Virtela Enterprise Services Cloud (ESC) which is a unique delivery platform for providing virtualized network based services.


The Secure Video Extranet service is a specialty offering designed to enable inter-company telepresence and video conferencing service. Customers can leverage a mix of dedicated carrier-carrier NNI connections, connections to strategic inter-company telepresence exchanges or leverage IP VPN technologies for interconnectivity, enterprise network to enterprise network over the Internet.

Dedicated NNI services: Video-enable one or more enterprise video networks on a frequent basis for an extended period.

Exchange service interconnection:  Typically require less notification to initiate, but once established can similarly enable extensive enterprise-enterprise telepresence communications.

IP VPN services: Designed to enable enterprise network to enterprise network interconnection over the Internet.
