April 4, 2006 – San Diego, California – WiredRed®, a technology leader in real-time
communications software, today announced that more than
30 colleges and universities are utilizing the Company’s
e/pop Web and Video Conferencing software for
applications ranging from live distance learning,
administration staff meetings, student teacher
observation and review, IT help desk and human
resources, among others.
e/pop Web Conferencing provides the ability for
students, professors and administrators to conduct fully
interactive sessions that include multi-party video,
VoIP, plus complete desktop sharing with remote control,
application/document and dynamic presentation sharing.
e/pop is designed for simple deployment and ease-of-use.
It is compatible with most web cameras and can be
accessed via leading web browsers and on standard
Internet connections. It is ideal for instructor-led
seminars, small group discussions and other applications
that require real-time interaction.
Hawaii Pacific University, which is located in Honolulu,
Hawaii, has more than 8,500 students attending its 10
island campuses, including eight military satellite
campuses on Oahu. According to the schools’ CIO, Justin
Itoh, e/pop Web Conferencing filled the university’s
need for an affordable, yet fully collaborative product
that is easy to use, and just as easy to install. HPU is
utilizing e/pop for human resource interviews, IT
helpdesk, instructor-led distance learning and enabling
teachers and administrators from all campuses to meet
virtually.
“Simplicity of the web conferencing application was
critical, as was the affordability of e/pop,” said Itoh.
“We are saving about one-half of what we paid previously
for just remote control from a leading service provider.
Not only are we saving money, but because we own the
application we can offer it to other departments as
needed.”
In addition to Hawaii Pacific University, e/pop Web
Conferencing has been chosen for real-time
communications in classes and in operations at Stanford
University, Iowa State University, Minnesota State at
Mankato, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Kyoto
International University, University of Coventry,
Universite de Montreal, Voorhees College, Queen Mary
University of London, Temple University, Delaware
Technical & Community College, Internet University,
Josephinum Pontifical College, Bristol University,
Birmingham University, University of Dundee, University
of Paisley and the University of Loughborough.
“e/pop fulfills the need for real-time, interactive
multiparty communications that many distance learning
solutions and systems do not provide,” said Steven
Peltier, WiredRed’s Chief Executive Officer. “While many
of these solutions provide one-to-many video,
traditionally used in seminar-style presentations and
sessions, e/pop goes one-step further to enable 10 or
more attendees to use video in parallel. It allows
participants to meet and share information interactively
with any combination of features, which makes e/pop
ideal for small group discussions or live classroom
presentations and seminars.”

e/pop Web Conferencing software is available starting at
$3,000 per year. It is also available from WiredRed as
hosted service starting at $350 per month. Contact
