Announcing Fuze Telepresence Connect: The First Mobile Telepresence solution to seamlessly integrate with Polycom™, Tandberg™ or LifeSize™ Systems, Extending Telepresence Across iPads, Android Tabl
June 15, 2011
SAN FRANCISCO – June 15th, 2011 – FuzeBox, the leader in cross-platform
visual collaboration, today announces the launch of its latest Telepresence
product: Fuze Telepresence Connect. Fuze Telepresence Connect seamlessly
integrates the leading telepresence systems -- including Polycom, Tandberg and
LifeSize -- while also extending video conferencing and voice to any mobile
device or computer through integration with Fuze Meeting, its web conferencing
and video conferencing collaboration platform.
Until now, high end video conferencing has been limited to telepresence suites
and executive boardrooms. Fuze Telepresence Connect is the world’s first
telepresence gateway for H.323, SIP and H.264 that links high end telepresence
systems to a personal device such as iPad, Android and Honeycomb tablets, as
well as PCs and Macs.
“Considering the massive market adoption for enterprise-grade collaboration
tools, there is a strong user need for vendors to connect such solutions,” says
Roopan Jaim principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
By leveraging the FuzeBox Cloud, companies can use Fuze Telepresence
Connect to extend their expensive fixed site, telepresence systems to all of their
employees in an extremely cost effective way. Fuze Telepresence Connect
enhances the productivity of the mobile workforce by leveraging the value of
fixed location conferencing systems across both fixed and mobile employees.
“Fuze Telepresence Connect has the potential to change IT investment
strategies as more enterprises look to expand the potential of existing solutions
while layering on the ability for mobile collaboration,” says Bradley Shimmin
principal analyst at Current Analysis.
“We’re bringing down the barriers in business collaboration,” said Jeff Cavins,
CEO of FuzeBox. “The telepresence industry has thrived with proprietary multi-
million dollar systems, which do not scale economically, and are unusable for
most everyone other than executive staff. Today the telepresence landscape
changes, and for the first time, organizations can fully realize the ROI from their
existing telepresence systems, by enabling sales and operations teams to have
video telepresence meetings with partners, suppliers and remote teams utilizing
virtually any mobile tablet, MAC or PC.”
Fuze Telepresence Connect is designed to make conducting video meetings
simple and intuitive, yet it’s powerful enough to connect enterprise users face-to-
face on any high end telepresence screen with a full suite of collaboration tools at
their fingertips. By integrating telepresence into FuzeBox’s immersive Fuze
Meeting SaaS suite, telepresence users have access to simultaneous real-time
collaboration tools brought together in an elegant and intuitive user interface
across all personal devices.
