TANDBERG And HP Open Up World Of Telepresence

TANDBERG and HP have 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 to a much broader audience.

“For companies looking at telepresence, solutions that provide the greatest flexibility and level of performance across an organisation 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 organisation.”

The HP Halo Gateway solution consists of a TANDBERG 6000 MXP codec, a TANDBERG Video Switch, a Halo compositor, an HP ProLiant server and HP-designed software.

The solution stems from an alliance TANDBERG and HP announced in January to make their respective videoconferencing and telepresence portfolios interoperable.
