Audio toolmaker Vivox has announced the addition of The Venue Network to its network, which means the virtual venue provider will now work with Vivox's communications when it launches in Autumn 2008. Users who attend events and presentations at TVN's virtual venues will have access to Vivox's suite of communications tools, including group voice chat, IM, 3D spatial audio, attendee lists, presence indicators, alerts and other features like presentation mode and multi-channel access.

TVN CEO David Gardner commented, "Natural speech is the cornerstone of human communication. To this end, TVN is laser focused on empowering our customers to communicate easily and effectively. Vivox understands these requirements and has designed its solutions and service with proven reliability and scalability which made the Vivox Network the natural choice for TVN. We are looking forward to a rich partnership in delivering an effective virtual collaboration environment.”
