Verizon Business today announced BlueJeans Meetings is now
available for Glass Enterprise Edition 2*. Coming soon, business

preloaded* from Verizon for $1,139.99 to integrate glass wearables
into the new ways of working. For a limited time, customers can get
up to $700 off Glass Enterprise Edition 2 when purchased with a
Pixel 6.According to a study by Quadrant Strategies, 80% of
enterprises report having a need for innovative, hands-free
solutions for front line workers to maintain safety and efficiency
while in the field. Today’s announcement offers an immersive,
premium and hands-free video conferencing experience that enables
workers to work smarter, faster and safer. BlueJeans Meetings
paired with Glass Enterprise Edition 2 and a Pixel 6’s 5G mobile
hotspot can help boost productivity and facilitate collaboration
for the remote workforce from anywhere**, in an easy-to-use way, to
help businesses save time and improve the quality of their work.
“5G is the platform powering the future of work, enabling teams to
leverage technology and reimagine what it means to get work done in
a hybrid environment,” said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business.
“Our collaboration between BlueJeans by Verizon, Google Pixel and
Glass will deliver customers a high-quality, augmented reality
experience that can help ease operational challenges and improve
business outcomes. Together, Verizon Business and Google are making
the future of work a reality, today.”By allowing a supervisor to
see a remote employee’s vantage point virtually, rather than
needing to see that perspective in-person, BlueJeans on Glass EE2
can help field workers get expert support without leaving the job
site. BlueJeans with Glass EE2’s hands-free capabilities can also
help enable remote field workers—such as warehouse workers,
technicians, and engineers—to more efficiently fulfill customer
orders or build complex machines. Businesses looking to get even
more from their Google ecosystem can pair Glass Enterprise Edition
2 with a Google Pixel 6 and Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband connectivity
leveraging C-Band spectrum^, using BlueJeans to maximize remote and
field worker productivity and minimize error rates by utilizing
visual guidance over hand-held solutions. Glass can leverage
Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network and real-time edge-compute
capabilities through mobile hotspot connection for innovations that
require low latency. For instance, developers could use the
combined technologies to explore advanced computer vision with
real-time virtual annotation and free-hand animation for apps
serving collaborative-work, training or entertainment use cases.
Adding the Google ecosystem to Verizon’s
video and 5G capabilities Glass Enterprise Edition 2’s
hands-free, lightweight design and Pixel 6’s battery-saving
features offer a convenient, mobile connection and long-lasting
video connection that allows workers to focus on doing their best
work—all of which will be made possible with BlueJeans’ secure and
convenient video conferencing app and Verizon’s 5G capabilities on
America's most reliable network. Key features of BlueJeans Meetings
