Catering to the communication requirements of small and medium businesses, RADVISION has started shipping the SCOPIA XT1000 SMB solution.

To fully extend the SCOPIA XT1000 series room systems’ experience to users on Macs or PCs, this solution combines the capabilities of the recently introduced SCOPIA XT1000 series HD video conferencing room systems with the award winning SCOPIA Desktop software. The system provides a very effective way for small and medium businesses to bring video communications beyond typical business boundaries to their workers at home and on the road.

The SCOPIA XT1000 HD (high definition) video conferencing room system incorporates the latest state-of-the-art video technology with features and capabilities mandatory for today’s room system deployments, states RADVISON.

“Video conferencing solutions with this capability have been previously available only to large businesses that could afford to make the necessary investment in multiple products, infrastructure, training and support,” said Roberto Giamagli, general manager of the Video Business Unit for RADVISION, in a press release. “This unique solution makes the entire video conferencing value proposition from the room system to the desktop more accessible to a broader market.”

The new solution provided features such as HD video, H.239 room system interoperable data collaboration, and firewall traversal. SCOPIA XT1000 SMB Solution Highlights SCOPIA XT1000 Series HD Room System, four or nine Participant HD MCU with Continuous Presence, SCOPIA Desktop HD Video Conferencing, Desktop Client Distribution, and Automatic Firewall Traversal. It also supports two streams of HD video each at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second, the company claims.

In June this year, the company announced that RADVISION SCOPIA Elite MCUs have been deployed on the Kiwi Advanced Research & Education Network (KAREN) to support more than 220,000 users at over 60 New Zealand universities and higher education organizations, research institutes and government agencies. KAREN is the exclusive broadband network. It links education, research and innovation organizations in New Zealand, and serves researchers, educators, and scholars.
