Cisco Brings 'In-Person' Realism to Remote Communications

Cisco Brings 'In-Person' Realism to Remote Communications

October 23, 2006

The picture for virtual communications has become much clearer, thanks to new technology from Cisco Systems. The Cisco TelePresence system uses ultra-high quality, two-way video and audio to revolutionize remote collaborations, in the process pioneering a new form of digital communications that rivals the effectiveness of in-person meetings. Cisco TelePresence, the handiwork of the recently formed Emerging Markets Technology Group, is ideal for global corporations and other far-flung organizations that need to stay in touch with employees, partners and customers.
