Videopresence™ Named One of the Best Telepresence Solutions alongside Industry Giant Offerings

Jan. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Manchester, UK 22 January 2010 – Videonations, a leading provider of integrated videoconferencing solutions based in Altrincham was one of the first videoconferencing system integrators to develop a three screen Telepresence solution. Shortlisted by the Editor of Telepresence and Videoconferencing Insight newsletter as one of the 12 Best Telepresence systems of 2009, Videopresence stands firm among a list of Telepresence solutions created by multi-billion pound global companies such as Cisco and Polycom.

Launched in May 2009, Videopresence is a versatile Telepresence solution that delivers high definition communications and collaboration over the internet operating on a comparatively low 6.5 Mbs of bandwidth. Driven by the LifeSize® Conference 200™ engine with connectivity provided by leading telecom provider Fluidata, Videopresence relies on a blend of technology and décor to deliver a natural meeting experience.

High end audio visual technologies include thin-bezel screens that help create a more fluid picture with spatial surround sound to ensure audio clearly and comprehensively comes from the person speaking. Continuing the versatile theme, Videopresence transforms from a Telepresence-to-Telepresence configuration into a conventional high definition videoconferencing system that can deliver a 4-way multi-site meeting via an embedded touch screen or as a fully managed service operated by Videonations. Since it uses the internet, this solution does not require an additional private network to be implemented.

A Videopresence suite (http://www.videonations.com/videopresence/) is delivered with integrated table, chairs and immersive décor and is versatile enough to fit into any standard room from 4m². The cost for install and set up is from £60,000 at each location, which is considerably less expensive than other solutions.
