TANDBERG and HP Open Up World of Telepresence

TANDBERG and HP today unveiled a solution that links HP Halo Collaboration Studios, HP’s telepresence system, and standards-based videoconferencing systems. By seamlessly bridging videoconferencing solutions and HP Halo, the new HP Halo Gateway expands the world of telepresence – and the lifelike collaboration that can take place within it – to a much broader audience.

As the interest in telepresence solutions has increased, so has the demand to extend its reach to better leverage existing videoconferencing assets and personnel in remote locations. By connecting Halo studios to standards-based videoconferencing systems located anywhere in the world, customers can instantly access their best talent and accelerate decision-making – driving better business results.

“For companies looking at telepresence, solutions that provide the greatest flexibility and level of performance across an organization offer the highest level of investment protection,” said TANDBERG CEO Fredrik Halvorsen. “The HP Halo Gateway is the first of many efforts that will continue to extend the unequalled performance of HP and TANDBERG visual communication solutions.”

“Telepresence is driving new levels of collaboration and real-time decision-making, which are key competitive advantages,” said Ken Crangle, general manager, HP Halo Collaboration Studio Unit, HP. “Only HP and TANDBERG are making it possible for companies to bring that same level of collaboration to everyone in an organization.”
