A press release said that the facilities will give customers a chance to communicate with each other across the country and across borders.
A Taj spokesperson said that executives at the hotel, CII, Tata Communications and Cisco held numerous rounds of discussions regard the deployment.
The spokesperson said that Tata Communications launched the public telepresence facility at these hotels, Cisco provided the equipment and CII will provide the infrastructure and network to users across India.
Launching the public telepresence rooms in Taj Hotels in Mumbai and Bangalore and at the offices of CII in Bangalore, and Chennai, Peter Quinlan, director for Telepresence managed services at Tata Communications, said that were plans to launch similar facilities in Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Boston and London by Septemebr 2008, followed by New York.
A press release said that Tata Communication would host and manage the network and the centralised infrastructure. It would help in delivery and in remote management as well as technical support and manage the entire stack of services, with Cisco being the technology provider.
The setting up of public rooms like those in CII and Taj would enable members use the facility at a price of Rs 20,000 an hour per room, thereby cutting down on global travel and time lost in travelling, said Quinlan.
From the environment point of view it would cut down on carbon footprint in terms of reducing travel, he said.
