TANDBERG Driving Telepresence Innovation with the Introduction of the Immersive TANDBERG
Telepresence T1
BANGKOK, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --
Analysts recommend investment in TANDBERG Telepresence technology for its industry-leading
interoperability
Today, TANDBERG (OSLO: TAA.OL) announced it is driving innovation in the telepresence market with the
new immersive TANDBERG Telepresence T1. The T1 provides the same rich experience and intuitive
interface as the award-winning TANDBERG Telepresence T3, only with a smaller footprint. With this
announcement, TANDBERG is expanding its Total Telepresence solution, bringing high-quality immersive
telepresence to a wider user base.
"We are building upon the great success of our TANDBERG Telepresence T3 to deliver a broad range of
options to our customers who have requested the same high-quality immersive telepresence experience
throughout their businesses," said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. "Telepresence is a growing market
and we intend to capture this opportunity by delivering the most innovative and interoperable products in the
industry. Already, TANDBERG is the first and only vendor to offer immersive telepresence solutions that
maintain the multi-screen, high-definition telepresence experience when calling out to third-party telepresence
systems. This is critical for business-to-business communication."
Now with the new T1, customers can facilitate the same high-quality immersive telepresence experience for
smaller groups and for regional offices. Having options to deliver true telepresence to all meeting participants,
regardless of group size, is crucial to maintaining the life-like experience that is the hallmark of the technology.
"The T1 enables two people to communicate in a true telepresence environment with peers, customers and
partners no matter what type of system they use. By integrating the same 65" high-definition display and our
signature Nordic blue walls into the smaller room, the consistency of the immersive experience is maintained,"
said Hakon Dahle, TANDBERG Chief Technologist. "In addition, the truly revolutionary touch screen interface
introduced with the T3 has been adapted for the T1, making it easy for first-time users to be in full control."
With TANDBERG's award-winning telepresence, users get the most flexible immersive telepresence
solution on the market. It is easy to use and seamlessly interoperates with the entire TANDBERG product
portfolio, Microsoft Office Communications Server, and other standards-based video endpoints and
telepresence systems. In fact, a report published last week from industry analysts at Gartner recommended
that TANDBERG customers invest in T1 and T3 systems and leverage the company's infrastructure platform
for legacy interoperability.
Robert Keane, CEO of Vistaprint N.V., the high-growth international leader of marketing products and
services for small businesses, said, "As Vistaprint expands rapidly across the globe we 'stay small as we get
big' by retaining a fast-paced and entrepreneurial culture. TANDBERG telepresence greatly improves internal
communication across all of our offices and functions, which is why we've invested in a combination of T1s
and T3s for our locations worldwide. Vistaprint depends on cross-functional collaboration, which demands
systems that allow participants to see all of the people in a meeting at the same time even when they are
located in multiple countries. Other vendors don't provide this true-to-life experience, so choosing TANDBERG
was an easy decision. It's enabled us to be even more competitive because the 'real life' interactions
TANDBERG provides offsets the complexity that otherwise comes with Vistaprint's rapid growth. It's one of the
best investments we've ever made."
By providing the most innovative and complete range of visual communications options, TANDBERG further
solidifies its market leadership. For more information about the T1 and TANDBERG Total Telepresence
