May 5, 2003

Arlington, VA --- inSORS Integrated Communications, Inc., a Chicago-based communications firm that develops, markets, and supports collaboration software and solutions, has installed its inSORS Grid (IG) software platform on the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering's (NSF CiSE) Access Grid node.

NSF CiSE, which holds as its primary mission the ability to enable the U.S. to uphold a position of world leadership in computing, communications, and information science as well as to promote understanding of the principles and uses of advanced computing and to contribute to universal and affordable participation in an information-based society, will utilize the IG platform to increase the efficiency and ease-of-use of its Access Grid node.

The IG platform provides individuals and groups the ability to meet via video and audio modes of interaction and to collaborate on multiple data applications all within their chosen working environment, ranging from a laptop or personal phone to a conference room or auditorium. This robust solution offers complete IP-based, full-duplex audio, 30 frame-per-second video, and total data interaction/sharing capabilities among anywhere from two to 30 locations.

In addition to the software upgrade to the NSF CiSE node, inSORS also provided training and equipment at the NSF CiSE location.
