Description

SightSpeed differentiates itself by focusing on delivering easy-to-use, high-quality video solutions to consumers, unlike other providers that treat video as an afterthought. The company's services include outbound and inbound telephony calling, integrated video mail, multi-party video conferencing, and a unique "click to call me" web address for every user. SightSpeed was acquired by Logitech and continues to offer SIP-based and standards-compliant services that deliver superior quality on everyday computers and consumer broadband connections. Additionally, SightSpeed is the first consumer VoIP software provider to allow up to 9 simultaneous participants in a video conference. The company also partners with Dell to provide a bundled video chat service for Dell consumers and their friends.
