(BW)(VA-FCEDA)Tata Communications Rings Up Expansion in Fairfax County to Offer Public TelePresence Services
Fairfax County, Virginia, United States, Thursday, January 29, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) --
Tata Communications, a member of the $62.5 billion Tata Group based in India, announced the opening of a new center in Fairfax County that is equipped with a state-of-the-art Cisco-certified TelePresence room to host "virtual" meetings around the world. Tata Communications leased about 26,000 square feet of space at 2355 Dulles Corner Boulevard in the Herndon community of Fairfax County to accommodate about 100 employees.
As the largest private owner of global fiber-optic sub-sea cables, Tata Communications (www.tatacommunications.com) offers services ranging from co-location, managed hosting and storage, security, content delivery network and TelePresence services.
To celebrate the expanded facility, Tata Communications will host a January 29 open house and will showcase its TelePresence room. TelePresence provides life-like, high definition conferencing facilities with superior audio and video qualities to provide a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional face-to-face meetings.
Tata Communications is the first service provider to open public TelePresence facilities. The Fairfax County facility is connected to Tata Communications' network of public TelePresence rooms around the world, including sites within the luxury Taj Hotels in Boston, London and multiple locations in India.
"Tata Communications is a global leader in telecommunications and part of one of India's premier companies. We are very proud that the company will grow here and call Fairfax County home," said Gerald L. Gordon, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA, www.FairfaxCountyEDA.org). More than 360 foreign-owned firms, including almost 20 from India, have a presence in Fairfax County.
"Fairfax County has been an outstanding place to do business for Tata Communications, and we are pleased to be able to grow into larger premises," said Dave Ryan, EVP, Tata Communications, Americas. "The fact that we can stay in the region and grow is important, not just to our staff but to some of the local not-for-profit organizations we support."
