TANDBERG Total Telepresence solution delivers additional immersive
third-party telepresence interoperability capabilities for expanded
company-to-company collaboration
HONG KONG, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-Asia/ --
TANDBERG (OSLO: TAA.OL) announced it has successfully demonstrated
telepresence interoperability between TANDBERG Telepresence and the
Cisco CTS 3000. This demonstration, the first of its kind, was
enabled by integrating Cisco's new Telepresence Interoperability
Protocol (TIP) into the award-winning TANDBERG Telepresence Server.
With this integration, TANDBERG now adds Cisco TelePresence
solutions to the list of third-party telepresence solutions it can
seamlessly interoperate with while maintaining the three-screen,
high-definition telepresence experience.
"As we build a global video community, it is
imperative that organizations are not locked in by technology,"
said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. "Our Total Telepresence
solution is interoperable with a broad range of third-party
solutions, including those from Polycom and Microsoft. We are very
happy to now deliver even greater value to our customers by
bringing participants on TANDBERG Telepresence and Cisco
TelePresence together with an immersive, three-screen experience.
Today's demonstration reflects TANDBERG's continued commitment to
open standards, providing scalable solutions and protecting our
customers' video investments for the future."
According to Frost & Sullivan, although many
companies initially think of telepresence as a substitute for the
corporate jet, the technology holds even more value when it can
seamlessly link to other video conferencing solutions - within and
outside of an organization - to ensure all necessary participants
can attend any meeting. TANDBERG customers have seen the
exponential value of interoperability between third-party
telepresence and video conferencing for company-to-company
collaboration while maintaining the best experience possible.
TANDBERG is consistently the first to deliver the most advanced
interoperability solutions to the market, demonstrated by:
* TANDBERG first to demonstrate a multi-screen,
high-definition
telepresence call with Cisco
TelePresence CTS 3000 (see video).
* TANDBERG first to deliver a telepresence
solution that can interoperate
with third-party telepresence
systems while maintaining the immersive
telepresence experience.
* TANDBERG first to enable high definition video
between Microsoft Office
Communicator and immersive
multi-screen telepresence
* TANDBERG first to deliver a complete portfolio
of HD telepresence and
video conferencing solutions that
can interoperate with any other
standards compliant systems both
within an organization and company-to-
company.
Interoperability with Cisco CTS 3000 and other
Cisco systems will be available through a software upgrade to the
TANDBERG Telepresence Server later this year. For more information
