San Diego, CA - June 4, 2007 - Teliris, the leading full-service provider of telepresence
solutions, today announced the release of the first available interoperable platform that
allows Teliris customers to connect to competing standard telepresence systems as well as
legacy videoconferencing, audio and desktop conferencing systems and Web-enabled
devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. This groundbreaking offering by Teliris is the first
step toward solving the industry challenge of interconnectivity between different
telepresence systems.
Integrated into the Teliris VirtuaLive™ meeting experience powered by Teliris’ proprietary
DSM technology, the introduction of the Telepresence Gateway marks the first time a
telepresence meeting can be held between two or more vendor systems. It also enables
traditional videoconferencing and other video devices to connect. The Telepresence Gateway
is designed specifically for Teliris customers to optimize their telepresence experience and
still have the ability to connect to other standard systems. It is a unique offering resulting
from Teliris’ long history of virtual meeting expertise, customer demand and deep
relationships with its industry partners.
“As the leader in telepresence for over six years, we needed to jumpstart the move toward
widespread adoption of interconnectivity,” said Marc Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO and cofounder.
“We also felt that it was essential for the industry to work together to set the
standard for telepresence interoperability to ensure that all users experience the ultimate
natural meeting experience.”
Orders have already been placed for the Telepresence Gateway and will officially be
available to Teliris customers by mid-August 2007.
In conjunction with its launch of the Telepresence Gateway, Teliris is enhancing its currently
available Infinet network offering, which provides a secure connection to legacy
videoconferencing, all at the 99+ percent reliability provided through its fully managed
service.
With Teliris’ groundbreaking interconnectivity platform in place, Teliris will continue to
expand its features that will enhance eye contact, clarity of image, audio directionality and
diagnostic capability across all disparate telepresence systems.
