Network-i is pleased to announce another award for its In-Vision videoconferencing Network. In-Vision, the always-on service offered to customers at fixed cost per month independent of usage and at a fraction of price of leased line networks and IPVPN’s has again been honoured in the annual VC Insight awards in the category " Best provider of always-on IP networks dedicated to Videoconferencing.

Network-i, based in London, UK, was founded in 1996 as an IP network backbone for some of the UK’s leading Internet Service Providers, the company launched a parallel network for the sole use of Video Conferencing in 2004 and added Security Gatekeepers, Managed Multi-point Bridging and IP to ISDN gateways before taking the service to market through a network of value added resellers.

In 2006, Network-I received accreditation for the coveted ISO 27001 Information Security Standard, reinforcing their position as the supplier of choice to security conscious video conferencing users.

David Lucas-Smith, Sales Director of Network-i, told us: “This year we have seen unprecedented levels of interest as customers look for new ways to reduce expenditure and reduce their carbon footprint. Customers are now placing orders for dozens of connections at a time as they commit to remote working. Simultaneously HD videoconferencing is fueling the need to find a cost effective network solution with 1Mb+ of QoS.”

The year 2006 has seen much wider acceptance of IP as an enabling technology and companies that want the combination of quality and security in a cost effective package turned to Network-i.

"Network-i richly deserves this VC Insight Award for the Year 2006 as it did for the Year 2005" commented Richard Line, Editor of VC Insight Magazine.
