\tVerizon inked a deal to buy video conferencing company BlueJeans Network, in a bid to bolster its enterprise communications business and expand its portfolio of 5G use cases.<\/p>\n

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but CNBC reported a price of approximately $400 million. BlueJeans Network employees will transfer to Verizon and key management personnel will continue to lead the business following a completion expected in the current quarter.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Verizon said the conferencing platform will be \u201cdeeply integrated\u201d into its 5G product roadmap, allowing it to better serve target applications including telemedicine, distance learning and field service work.<\/p>\n

BlueJeans Network CEO Quentin Gallivan added the combination of its video platform with Verizon\u2019s edge compute capabilities \u201cwill deliver highly differentiated and compelling solutions to our joint customers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tami Erwin, EVP and CEO of Verizon Business, noted collaboration tools have risen to the \u201ctop of the agenda\u201d for businesses of all sizes in recent months, as the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic resulted in a shift to remote work.<\/p>\n

She said \u201cit is absolutely critical for businesses and public sector customers to have access to a comprehensive suite of offerings that are enterprise ready, secure, frictionless and that integrate with existing tools\u201d.<\/p>\n

BlueJeans, along with rival services Skype and Zoom, all offer varying levels of encryption.<\/p>\n

Zoom recently faced intense scrutiny [1] of its security practices and promised to beef up encryption protocols after a boom in usage associated with the pandemic exposed weaknesses in its software.<\/p>\n
