Cisco Expands TelePresence Product Portfolio

Cisco has announced new steps in the company’s strategy to bring Cisco TelePresence to everyone, everywhere, with continued global momentum for intercompany Cisco TelePresence services and the introduction of a new one-screen, one-camera Cisco TelePresence system for multi-purpose conference rooms.

Intercompany Cisco TelePresence gives businesses the ability to use Cisco TelePresence to meet with key suppliers, customers and partners to improve their competitive advantage, speed the time to market, and foster better collaboration in their businesses.

Providers like AT&T, BT, Orange, NTT, Tata Communications, Telefonica, Telstra, and Telmex, have already announced commercial intercompany Cisco TelePresence services, enabling the organisations that have already selected Cisco TelePresence to communicate across different networks.

Cisco also expanded the Cisco TelePresence product portfolio with a new single-screen, single-camera endpoint for up to two people in a multi-purpose conference room. Whether for one-to-one or one-to-many meetings, the Cisco TelePresence System 1100 uses the standard 65-inch plasma screen and fits in small, general-use meeting rooms. When not being used for virtual meetings, the Cisco TelePresence System 1100 also functions as an audio conferencing device, as an auxiliary display for presentations, or as a digital sign, utilising integrated Cisco Digital Media Player functionality.

The Cisco TelePresence System 1100 uses the same industrial design as the Cisco TelePresence System 1300 Series, providing a slim, attractive footprint that enables organizations to roll out the benefits of the Cisco TelePresence in-person experience to any conference room.

With Cisco TelePresence Extended Reach, organisations can deploy single-screen Cisco TelePresence endpoints such as the Cisco TelePresence System 1100 to branch offices or other areas where deployment over a T-1/ E-1 or broadband Internet connection is suitable.

The Cisco TelePresence System 1100 supports all Cisco TelePresence solutions and applications including Recording Studio, Events and Expert on Demand.
