Cable&Wireless Brings New Web Surveillance Technology to Market

Next-generation Web-based IPCCTV Mass Market Solutions to be available across UK for Cable&Wireless reseller customers

Petach Tikvah, Israel - October 9, 2009 – Cable&Wireless Worldwide (www.cw.com) today announced the signing of a Distribution Agreement with VideoCells (www.videocells.com), a leader in Video Storage Technologies.

The agreement represents a move from the traditional methodology for surveillance video storage and management - away from Digital Video Recording (DVR) devices to a new technology named WebVR®. Web Video Recording (VR) means that secure access to Surveillance Video can now be cost effectively stored and accessed from the Internet.

With VideoCells WebVR solution, Cable&Wireless can offer its customers a cutting edge, cost-effective mass-market value-add application delivered and supported from an offsite location via the Internet. With only an Internet Protocol (IP) camera, and a low monthly fee, the customer can access single or multiple screens from anywhere using any compatible PC or mobile device.

According to Nigel Stevens, Director of Product Management, Cable&Wireless Worldwide, "In an economic downturn, customers are focused on making their businesses more efficient and cost effective and adopting a technology, such as Internet Protocol Closed Circuit Television (IPCCTV) technology, can be expensive. The launch of the WebVR solution by Cable&Wireless now allows reseller partners to take the more cost-effective option of a monthly subscription fee."

VideoCells' WebVR is a revolutionary, centralised, platform for video recording, storage and distribution that can support 100,000+ concurrent real-time and recorded video streams. The technology provides increased efficiency, flexibility and scalability to the video surveillance world. As a more cost-effective, mass-market, web-based service solution it allows operators to diversify their business and create new opportunities that can open up revenue streams.

Stuart Steinberg, CEO of VideoCells said: "The significance of a global Tier 1 telecom provider like Cable&Wireless taking advantage of our WebVR technology signifies a major turning point in how companies will deal with storing, forwarding, accessing and managing video. We've now passed a critical junction that will allow many more people to have access to needed service offerings that were not previously cost justifiable."
