Telanetix (News - Alert) Inc., an IP solutions provider offering telepresence and VoIP services to business markets, has announced the launch of a new upgrade program to layer full telepresence functionality into existing video conferencing rooms regardless of the existing hard solution.

 

With the name, “Represence” the program is expected to extend the life expectancy and reduce the overall expense for a company seeking to deploy full telepresence solutions in an effort to replace narrower bandwidth videoconferencing systems in integrated meeting rooms.

Implementation of the new program is priced as low as $29,900 per location and can save a company more than 80 percent of the cost of a typical upgrade to telepresence, which can be more than $300,000.

 

"Organizations have invested time, effort, and money to complete their media-enabled boardrooms, meeting rooms and training rooms and should be given the opportunity to leverage those investments," explained Robert Leggio, General Manager of the Telanetix Video Business Unit, in a Tuesday statement.

 

"There are approximately 7,000 of these media rooms in existence today among the Fortune 2000. Represence allows companies to extend and upgrade those rooms without investing another $300,000. Our competitors have limitations on the way their telepresence rooms can be laid out, eliminating their ability to offer an upgrade program like Represence."

With the price of installation of the Represence program, the customer receives HD Telepresence (News - Alert) Codes, dual monitor support, 5-way multi-point with continuous presence, and one button touch panel control. They will also have the option of upgrading to the multi-point immersive gateway (MIG) which allows interoperability to legacy video conferencing systems.

 

Telanetix and Telanetix certified and authorized integrators and resellers are offering the Represence program directly to customers. The program is available with installation, integration and consulting.

 

A communications solutions provider, Telanetix offers telepresence and VoIP services to all business market segments. The company’s solutions are designed to meet real-world communications demands of its customers with a strong value proposition.

The telepresence offering from Telanetix, Digital Presence, is designed to deliver fully immersive and interactive meeting environments that incorporate voice, video and data from multiple locations into a single environment.

Telanetix has done well in taking an innovative approach to ensuring that the enterprise can optimize their telepresence investments without spending significant capital on systems that already required large upfront investments. By providing a solution that allows for the extension of current investments, Telanetix is much more likely to drive demand and adoption of its newest program.
