Telepresence

Virtual conferences rooms – almost like being face to face

Cisco has uniquely cornered the market on tele conferencing with the introduction of Cisco TelePresence.  Many companies are utilizing this feature to save on time and travel but are still getting the work done. It has value added to it by ease of operation and you don’t have to add new infrastructure to your network to use it.  “Cisco Telepresence gives us the experience and benefit of actually being in the room with colleagues on the other side of the world, without having to pack a suitcase.”, says Chief Information Officer Ken Henry of HSBC. And of course, Cisco is preserving our future environment by having companies use less travel and therefore less carbon dioxide in the air.  For further information on this article, please see my article on TelePresence at:   What is Cisco Telepresence and what does it take?

Cisco announces Personal Telepresence!

Gee, how do I get one of those Telepresence things on my desk? Can I get one free if I open a bank account or buy a the Kraft-O-Matic bed? Well, not yet but Telepresence is being brought down more to the “personal” level and is becoming more affordable (if you call $33,000 USD affordable). Seriously, I do look forward to the day when everyone will have one, however, when I am that age, maybe I won’t be as handsome and won’t want to be seen on High Definition TV anymore (ha-ha).
