GLOBALINX® video phones were deployed at the 23rd Annual Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party in Tampa to connect sports legends and TV and radio personalities with wounded Army troops at the USO Wounded Warrior Center in Landstuhl, Germany.

5LINX® sponsored the 23rd Annual Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Fla., on Jan. 31, 2009. At the party, 5LINX® deployed three of its exclusive GLOBALINX® video phones for Operation See and Speak with the Troops.

GLOBALINX® video phones were also deployed at the USO Wounded Warrior Center in Landstuhl. For four hours, wounded Army soldiers at the USO Wounded Warrior Center had the opportunity to see and speak with sports legends and TV and radio personalities.

“Seeing the looks on the faces of the wounded troops at the USO Center in Germany when they were talking on video phones with sports legends like Franco Harris and Gary Carter was more than worth the price of the sponsorship,” says Jeb Tyler, 5LINX® Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of Marketing. “It is clear that Operation See and Speak with the Troops was a tremendous success.”

5LINX®, founded in 2001, is a one-stop shop for telecommunications products and services. The company’s GLOBALINX® digital home and business phone service offers an exclusive video phone, enabling callers to see each other as they speak.
