5Linx, a Rochester Based Company Donates a Dozen of Their Globalinx videophones to the Military

June 3, 2005 -- Now local troops will see their loved ones worldwide, when they talk to them this Father’s Day.In a press conference on Tuesday May 31st Hall of Fame quarterback, spokesman and partner for 5Linx Jim Kelly talked about this great product. 5Linx offers their VOIP (voice over internet protocol) service also known as digital phone under the company brand of Globalinx. The videophone products they offer are backed by Packet 8 (8x8), a leader in VOIP services. This technology is not only changing the way local troops communicate with loved ones but also the way people communicate around the world. You can now see your friends and loved ones you talk to worldwide. The local news stations in Rochester and local newspapers covered this historical event. 5Linx donated these phones as a way for family members to see their wife’s, husbands, kids and family around the globe when they talk on the phone. By giving away a dozen of these phones with free service for 2 years; therefore, this father’s day troops in united States, Iraq and Africa will see each other while they talk. These videophones and standard Globalinx service are available to the general public as well. These packages give you unlimited calling to the US and Canada for a low flat fee, with all the calling features you love. This also includes free calling worldwide to other Globalinx customers. I remember watching the old cartoon show The Jetsons and they use to see the people they talked to on the phone. It seemed so far fetched backed then but today that era now exists. 5Linx is another great company out there doing their part to change the community and the world for the better.
