Nortel’s Suite of Multimedia Services expands with addition of Polycom’s Telepresence Solutions
If you are a “24” fan, you’ve seen telepresence in action. Not just the next generation of video conferencing, telepresence creates a live, face-to-face meeting experience with life-size remote participants with fluid motion, accurate flesh-tones and flawless audio.
Nortel has entered the market with an agreement to resell and service Polycom’s immersive telepresence and high definition (HD) video conferencing solutions to enterprises worldwide. Global organizations will be able to create a more efficient, effective and productive environment for collaboration among geographically dispersed employees, customers and suppliers.
“As companies move toward more global business operations, maintaining effective communication and collaboration among knowledge workers, customers, partners and suppliers becomes more challenging,” said Robert Hagerty, chairman and chief executive officer, Polycom. “The good news is that there are amazing new tools like Polycom’s RealPresence* Experience (RPX*) and HDX* video conferencing systems to help enhance communication and collaboration among dispersed teams, mobile workers, and telecommuters.”
