Turning Kilometers Into Meters with Cisco TelePresence


What’s the distance between Budapest, Hungary and Podgorica in Montenegro?

Well, in reality, it’s approximately 674 kilometers, or 419 miles. However, if you happen to work at Magyar Telekom in Budapest, that distance becomes merely 20 meters. How is that possible? Cisco TelePresence, of course.

Earlier this year, we announced that Magyar Telekom has implemented Cisco TelePresence virtual meeting rooms to connect its head office in Hungary with the company’s southeast European subsidiaries, Makedonski Telekom (Macedonia) and Crnogorski Telekom (Montenegro).

In the meantime, the company has several other TelePresence rooms deployed. So, if you walk into Magyar Telekom’s headquarters, this is what you will see:

This is truly incredible, sometimes I have a hard time imagining how hard/complex it was to conduct any type of business 15-20 years ago. New technology never seizes to amaze me.

I agree, this really is amazing. Technology is quickly transforming the way we do business. I had a hard enough time keeping clear lines of communication among our </a href=“http://www.movewithclass.com/tampa-moving-company.aspx”>Tampa moving companies</a>, so I can imagine what kind of efficiencies are occurring at MT with TelePresence.

15 years ago we had to rely in planes, airports, and taxis.It was a matter of “presence” not “telepresence”

That is pretty cool. It almost reminds me of the country song where the singer remembers being a kid and just wishing he could watch TV on long car rides.  How different would the world be if this techonology was present, 5, 10 or even 20 years ago.

Phenomenal - it really is amazing how technology accelerates, but then the momentum never stops as it keeps growing. Its almost hard to keep up with everything at times, which is why we need this.
