Focus on Promoting Access Grid Usage Throughout NSF

February 1, 2004

Arlington, VA --- inSORS Integrated Communications, Inc., a Chicago-based communications firm that develops, markets, and supports collaboration software and solutions, will continue support for the inSORS Grid (IG) software platform installed on the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering's (NSF CiSE) Access Grid node. The support includes on-site meeting operation and management. The inSORS team will also actively promote usage of the technology to increase collaboration within the NSF.

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, utilizes the IG platform to increase collaboration among NSF and the many sites which are involved in NSF related projects.

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.
