E20 Video VoIP Phone Enables Mass Adoption of Personal Video in the Enterprise

NEW YORK AND OSLO, NORWAY, June 16, 2008 — TANDBERG® (OSLO: TAA. OL), a leading global provider of telepresence, high-definition video conferencing and mobile video solutions, today introduced a new video VoIP phone for mass enterprise deployment. Replacing the standard office phone, the E20 combines CD quality audio with DVD quality video to deliver the desktop video phone for businesses at an affordable price.

Whether making a quick telephone call to a colleague down the hall, or collaborating on video with a partner overseas, users of the E20 will experience greater audio quality than today's standard office phones. In addition the E20 provides the ability to instantly communicate face-to-face to build deeper understanding and trust.

Designed with the user in mind, the five-megapixel high resolution camera positioned at eye-level provides a head-on image that eliminates the "nose view" typical of currently available video phones. With the 10.6 inch LCD widescreen, users can clearly see facial expressions and read body language.

"The E20 has the potential to drive mass personalization of video communications in the enterprise," said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. "The E20 brings natural communication into workplace conversations with the emotional connection and understanding that is only possible through video."

The E20 features an ultra wideband 20 kHz speaker phone and 10 kHz handset. Other features of the E20 include familiar IP telephony functionality such as call transfer, message waiting and call forwarding. In addition, the E20 features intuitive directories and menus, and quick keys for access to advanced IP phone and video services. The E20 has the ability to receive multimedia presentations.

Equipped with standards-compliant video and audio, the E20 interoperates with all other standards-compliant major office communication devices from phones to video conferencing and telepresence systems. Calls from the E20 are secured with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

"The democratization of unified communications through the convergence of video and voice devices can help enterprises alleviate IT costs today," said Nora Freedman, senior analyst at IDC. "What is needed are simple and comprehensive video and phone solutions that can be deployed across the organization for core internal and external business communications and collaboration."

The E20 will ship in the first quarter of 2009. For more information about the TANDBERG E20 or to contact a TANDBERG representative, visit http://www.tandberg.com/products/tandberg_video_voip.jsp

More virtual meetings translate into less travel, cutting both costs and emissions

PLEASANTON, Calif., June 5, 2008 – In honor of UN World Environment Day and its "Kick the Carbon Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy" theme, Polycom, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLCM), the leader in collaborative communications solutions, today celebrates the success of early adopter customers who are using video conferencing and telepresence for more virtual, and fewer physical, face-to-face meetings. Recognizing travel is one of largest sources of carbon emissions, companies of all sizes are increasingly turning to the savings in time, cost, and productivity of virtual meetings instead of travel.

Organizations such as Easynet, CoStar, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP understand that recent advances have put video conferencing and telepresence within reach of companies of all sizes. The latest HD video systems now pay for themselves the very first time three people choose to avoid one international trip and elect to use video instead.

Analysts: Green a Priority & Video/Telepresence a Key Tool for Greener Planet
Industry research groups report North America has now joined Asian, South American, European and Middle Eastern companies in looking to improve their organizations’ environmental impact. IDC’s "Green IT a Natural Fit for Enterprise Executives" (Doc # prUS20932407 published Oct. 31, 2007) found 50 percent of U.S. companies rate the improvement of their organization’s environmental impact as either the highest or next to highest priority among senior management, while 42 percent believe it is most important or important for IT to take a leading role in making it happen.

A Gartner report entitled "Green IT: the New Industry Shockwave" by Simon Mingay, Dec. 7, 2007, predicts, "We can expect to see a flurry of climate change legislation during the next two years. Cuts in greenhouse gas emissions of 25 percent by 2020 and 60 to 80 percent by 2050 are likely targets." The report goes on to state, "An obvious opportunity lies in travel substitution, using video conferencing and telepresence technologies, and using communication and collaboration tools to build an infrastructure and culture that enable and encourage remote collaboration."

"It’s no wonder organizations are flocking to video and telepresence to save travel costs and the planet, " said Bob Hagerty, chairman and CEO of Polycom. "It’s a simple equation – be out of the office for two days traveling to a one-hour meeting or stay local for just as effective a meeting using telepresence. All else being equal, who wouldn’t choose the latter?"

Easynet Delivers Telepresence and Carbon Neutrality for BSkyB
Easynet is an international managed network and hosting company owned by British Sky Broadcasting. Easynet has rolled out managed services and Polycom HD video and telepresence systems to 45-50 global locations for BSkyB and NDS, a global leader in digital television technology owned by News Corp. The rooms are each used on average 25 hours per week. Their impact on travel and, therefore, carbon reductions has been immediate and impressive reducing costs by 41 percent in France and the 49 percent in the UK in their first three months of operation.

"There were four drivers for our decision to do more business over video and telepresence," said Mike Ayers, business development director at Easynet, a BSkyB Company. "We wanted to reduce our travel spend, reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact, improve our employees work/life balance, and improve employee productivity. Easynet and BSkyB are now carbon neutral and News Corp, our parent company, is on track to achieve this by 2010."

CoStar: Green Communications Join Policies for Hybrid Vehicles, Green Buildings
CoStar is the number one provider of commercial real estate information/marketing solutions in the United States and United Kingdom. Its database contains details on 2.8 million commercial properties, including millions of high-resolution photos of buildings, location maps and aerial views. CoStar used video to reduce travel and coordinate expansion into Europe, to conduct research training and make presentations to prospective clients, and to enable its software developers to have a high quality, always-on link for collaboration between coasts.
"While our decision to adopt video was driven primarily by the many direct business advantages it provides, environmental considerations have long been important to the company, and are a major added benefit of using more video in our business," said Sergio Soto, video conference technician supervisor at CoStar. "It only makes sense that our communications should be just as green as our fleet of hybrid field research vehicles and our commercial property database, which includes both LEED and Energy Star property certifications, enabling our customers to compare and evaluate commercial buildings based on those two important environmental rating systems. HD video has enabled us to reduce our own air travel, an important consideration for a company with operations that are located from San Diego, CA to Bethesda, MD, to London and to Glasgow, Scotland. It even allows us to project different city backgrounds on our video system green screens, an instant location identifier as we talk over video with colleagues or clients."

Kirkland & Ellis LLP: U.S., Europe and Asia Go Green with Video
Legal firm Kirkland & Ellis uses 50 Polycom video systems and many of Polycom’s iconic triangular-shaped conference phones to remotely connect six sites in the U.S. with three in Europe and one in Hong Kong. The systems enable the staff to conduct depositions, interview specialists, plan case strategies, and work collaboratively and virtually rather than travel around the world—ensuring Kirkland and Ellis also reduce their carbon footprint. Their systems integrate with the increasing number of video systems being used by judicial and law enforcement groups who use video to cut the costs associated with transporting suspects to and from arraignments.

"The great thing about our use of video conferencing – particularly the lifelike experience you now enjoy thanks to great HD voice and video – is that while you are cutting costs and improving productivity, you are also environmentally responsible," said Theo Economides, audio video engineer at Kirkland & Ellis. "We are becoming the anchor tenant for a new green skyscraper in Chicago in part because of our reliance on green technologies such as video conferencing."

The developments will be demonstrated next week at the InfoComm, NXTcomm and Educomm Conference & Expos in Las Vegas, June 18-20, 2008 (booth no. N6019).

Polycom VC2 addresses the need for visual communication solutions that provide the highest quality video, audio and content experiences; that are simple and intuitive to use and easily integrated within existing applications and communication tools; that are highly scalable for applications ranging from real-time one-to-one interactions to on-demand communications with thousands; that allow people to connect regardless of their device or network type; and that can be deployed and managed easily and effectively within an organization's converged IP network and communications environment.

"The global business environment will dramatically evolve over the next five to 10 years. Polycom believes visual communication will be one of the most important and impactful tools for business success during this time," said Joe Sigrist, senior vice president and general manager of visual communications solutions at Polycom. "Visual communication capabilities like telepresence, real-time multimedia content sharing, on-demand video content, mobile video and video-enabled unified communications have the potential to change what is possible in business and radically alter how, where and when we work, and the way we communicate and collaborate with co-workers, partners and customers. Polycom is uniquely positioned to deliver these solutions under the Polycom VC2 vision."

Polycom VC2 developments at InfoComm, NXTcomm and Educomm include:

C2976).
Polycom offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of telepresence solutions, which are fully interoperable and meet different customer application, space and budget requirements.  The Polycom RealPresence™ Experience (RPX™) series are complete room-within-a-room telepresence environments that are optimized to deliver the most effective and immersive telepresence experience available today. The Polycom RPX line supports from four to 28 people on camera in each location, allowing for applications beyond meetings, such as the interactive classrooms being used today by Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business as part of a cross-continental MBA program, and by Georgetown University as a Global Classroom connecting students in Wash D.C and its Doha, Qatar branch campus.  The Polycom Telepresence Experience™ (TPX™) series are comprehensive solutions designed to give small groups the ability to collaborate in real-size, life-like dimensions with extraordinary realism as if they were in the same room.

Demonstrations will take place in Polycom booth no. N6019.

Enhanced Infrastructure for Migrating Customers to Next-Gen Networks & Applications
Polycom today announced enhancements to its RMX 2000™ real-time media conferencing platform, a flexible, scalable and future-proof multi-network conference platform optimized for HD visual communication.

The RMX 2000 provides an UltimateHD™ experience (HD video, HD voice and simultaneous HD multimedia content) for participants using HD and telepresence solutions, and full transcoding capabilities allow users on different types of networks (ISDN, IP, PSTN) with different types of video and audio endpoints (telepresence, HD video systems, traditional and legacy video conferencing systems, and PSTN, mobile and IP phones) to join meetings and experience the highest quality levels possible.  Demonstrations will take place in Polycom booth #N6019.

Breakthrough Video QoS Technology for IP Networks Extended Across Portfolio
Polycom today announced the extension of its breakthrough Lost Packet Recovery™ (LPR™) technology across its product portfolio, with the addition of LPR support on the RMX 2000. Polycom LPR QoS technology dramatically improves the user experience and video, audio, and content quality of video calls on IP networks experiencing network congestion and packet loss. Infocomm attendees will see demonstrations of how LPR, running across Polycom telepresence and conferencing infrastructure solutions, provides an exceptional user experience despite high levels of packet loss that would severely degrade or cripple the experience on competing systems. Polycom LPR is now available on Polycom RPX, TPX and HDX telepresence solutions, Polycom VSX video endpoints and the RMX 2000 real-time media conferencing platform. Demonstrations will take place in Polycom booth no. N6019.

"After placing several hundred test calls between various systems, Wainhouse Research has concluded that LPR's ability to protect the video call experience from the effects of packet loss is exceptional," said Ira Weinstein, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. "A key differentiator and strength of Polycom's approach with LPR is that it protects all parts of the video call, including the audio, video, and content / H.239 channels, from packet loss."

Pricing and Availability
RMX 2000 Version 3.0 supporting LPR and enabling ISDN support (E1/T1 network card required) is planned for availability in early July and will be available at no additional cost to RMX 2000 customers on a maintenance agreement.

Austin, Tex.  and London – January 22, 2008 –LifeSize Communications, the global leader in high definition visual communications, today announced LifeSize® PlanetWise™, a comprehensive environmental initiative to promote green technologies that reduce pollution, improve the company’s environmental efficiency and provide pro-bono support to leading environmental non-governmental organizations.

“LifeSize believes in the power of high definition video to change the way we work and live,” said Craig Malloy, LifeSize CEO. “Video communication has a tremendous potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Each trip avoided by using video has a direct, measurable reduction in an organization’s carbon footprint. By reducing the need to travel, LifeSize can have a profound and positive impact on the environment.”

“Real environmental change can only happen when many people change their behavior. Our greatest contribution to the environment is to create a communication experience so lifelike that it is preferable to travel and affordable enough for mainstream adoption. We will continue to push the price-performance envelope with products like our LifeSize Express that make high definition affordable for everyone, everywhere.”

As part of the company’s PlanetWise program, LifeSize conducted a thorough environmental audit of company operations to measure the company’s carbon footprint and identify opportunities for environmental improvement. LifeSize will share the company’s best environmental practices through the PlanetWise program.

“LifeSize is dedicated to being an environmentally friendly company, and our commitment starts with our own operations,” said Craig Malloy, LifeSize CEO. “With our audit complete, we can implement practices to help minimize, monitor and continually improve our environmental performance as we grow to be the market leader in our industry.”

“We learned in our audit that LifeSize is on the right track. Our use of video communications instead of travel has helped us build a world-class, high-growth company with global development, manufacturing and sales operations with greater speed, better business results and less pollution” said Craig. “In the future we will rely even more on video and less on travel.”

LifeSize PlanetWise education materials will provide information about the environmental benefits of video communication, strategies for successful implementation and tools for accurately measuring cost savings and carbon footprint reduction.

LifeSize is supporting The Climate Group, an independent, nonprofit organization which works internationally to advance business and government leadership on climate change. LifeSize has donated high definition video conferencing systems to The Climate Group to support their global communication needs while reducing the international NGO’s need for business travel. The Climate Group works with more than 40 forward-looking member companies and governments like AIG, Barclays, Bloomberg, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan Chase, Starbucks, Timberland and Virgin.

“The Climate Group welcomes LifeSize’s generous pro bono donation and their real-world solutions will support our international work with government and business leaders to accelerate a low-carbon economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions” said Steve Howard, CEO, The Climate Group. “Their technology can truly change the way we all work, reduce the need to travel and have a profound and positive impact on the environment”.

“The Climate Group recently launched the Voluntary Carbon Standard - a global benchmark standard for project-based voluntary emission reductions” said Steve Howard. “LifeSize’s technology means we can engage with all potential users of the standard with face-to-face meetings over video, reducing the need for carbon-intensive business travel. It will allow us to work faster and more efficiently across our global network of offices and partners – and reduce our own carbon footprint as well”.

“LifeSize is pleased to teaming up with The Climate Group and supports their efforts to help companies and governments improve environmental and economic performance through better business practices,” said Craig Malloy, CEO, LifeSize. ”Companies are beginning to realize that doing the right thing for the environment actually improves their bottom line and capacity to innovate, and they look to The Climate Group for leadership on delivering low carbon business solutions.“

LifeSize’s equipment will be supporting The Climate Group in its work with its international coalition of corporate and government leaders to accelerate a low carbon economy.

“Working with The Climate Group puts LifeSize in the company of forward-looking businesses who are looking to identify the best environmental technologies and ideas and put them into widespread practice” said Craig Malloy.

Notes to Editors

Video is Green – but only if it is used “LifeSize was founded because we believed in the power of high definition to deliver on the promise of video communications,” said Malloy. “I have been in the video communications industry for 14 years, and while the promise of video has always been there, the experience of using low resolution, low frame rate systems has been so bad, that video was the technology of last resort. Most systems were bought with great hopes but weren’t used because they weren’t useful.”

“Our high definition video solution changes everything. It makes video conferencing a viable and even preferable alternative to travel,” said Malloy. “We understand that for any green technology to make a positive impact on the environment, it has to get widespread adoption – and that means making an experience so good that people want to use it and so affordable that people can use it.”

“We believe that a quality telepresence experience should not be reserved for the boardrooms of the richest companies in the world, but accessible to every knowledge worker who needs to communicate with remote colleagues.”

LifeSize’s all-HD video product portfolio is now the industry’s broadest and most affordable high definition product line, ranging from simple point-to-point video systems to highly customized, multi-display, multi-HD camera video systems. All LifeSize products provide stunning quality that delivers an immersive, high definition telepresence experience over existing broadband networks.

Video communication facts: By implementing high definition video communications, companies can make an immediate, measurable and lasting change in their carbon footprint by reducing car, train and air travel.

For most individuals, air travel is the single greatest variable in their total carbon footprint. While all reductions in carbon dioxide emission are desirable, a single jet trip can completely outstrip the carbon dioxide savings made in other areas. Video communications can reduce or eliminate the need to make routine plane trips all together.

Average carbon footprint of jet travel:

• Short-haul round trip (New York-Chicago, Frankfurt-London): 0.75-1.25 metric tons of CO2 each trip
• Medium-haul round trip (Hong Kong-Beijing, New York-Los Angeles): 1.5-3 metric tons of CO2 each trip
• Long-haul round trip (London-New York, Sydney-Tokyo, Singapore-Dubai, Miami-Rio de Janerio): 3.5-7 metric tons of CO2 each trip

Frequent car trips can create a large increase in an individual’s carbon footprint as well. Employees whose job duties require regular commuting to other locations for meetings can realize great savings if meetings can be conducted using video instead.

Average carbon footprint of local travel

• Daily cross-town trip (20 miles each way), average car (20 mpg city) 5 days per week: 3.51 metric tons of CO2 annually.
• Daily cross-town trip, full-size SUV or truck (12 mpg city) 5 days per week: 5.85 metric tons of CO2 annually.

Because the electricity used for video calls is nearly negligible in comparison to the energy used to travel, each video call that saves a trip is a direct reduction of carbon output.

Climate Group
The Climate Group (www.theclimategroup.org) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that works internationally with government and business leaders to advance climate change solutions and accelerate a low carbon economy.

Its coalition of proactive leaders – from government, business and civil society – has demonstrated that emissions reductions, essential to slow climate change, can be achieved while boosting profitability and competitiveness. More companies, states, regions and cities around the world are realizing there are significant economic as well as environmental advantages of taking decisive action now. The Climate Group was founded in 2004 and has offices in the UK, USA, China, India and Australia.

Global ICT Study: The Climate Group and GeSI [Global e-Sustainability Initiative] recently launched an independent research study into carbon impacts of the global ICT sector and its role in catalyzing transformation to a low-carbon economy which will report in 2008.

About the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS)
The Voluntary Carbon Standard (www.v-c-s.org) provides a robust, new global standard for voluntary offset projects. It guarantees carbon offsets that businesses and consumers buy can be trusted and have real environmental benefits in terms of greenhouse gas emission reductions. Development of the VCS was led by The Climate Group, the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and it launched on 19 November 2007.

Atlanta-based Vanguard Truck Center executives use LifeSize HD video to eliminate routine travel; Implant Seminars brings real-time dental implant surgery to doctors with LifeSize

Austin, Tex. – Mar. 28, 2008 – Business travel is often viewed as a necessary evil, but two fast-growing companies saw it as an obstacle to growth – and looked to LifeSize high definition video communication to change the way they did business and enable future growth. These companies are part of the growing number of “non-traditional” customers that are embracing video communication as a better way to get business done.

Vanguard Truck Centers and Implant Seminars could not be two more different companies, but both were faced with the same challenge: their businesses could not grow unless key executives could spend less time traveling.

Atlanta-based Vanguard Truck Center executives conduct day-long monthly meetings with each of their remote dealerships in Phoenix, Tucson, Houston and Austin. While the meetings were vital, they cost the company 16 executive work days per month, limiting future growth opportunities.

Now that Vanguard has implemented LifeSize high definition video communications, these meetings can be done without ever leaving the office.

“It’s like being in two places at once,” said Tom Ewing, Vanguard President.

By allowing Vanguard executives to meet with their teams over HD video instead of traveling, LifeSize has helped the company improve the speed at which they do business while saving money.

“We did not have video conferencing in our IT budget for the year,” says Greg Baxter, Director of IT & Targeted Marketing for Vanguard Truck Centers. “But the LifeSize system paid for itself almost immediately through travel savings.”

Travel was also limiting the growth of Miami-based Implant Seminars, a leading-edge provider of continuing education for dentists and oral surgeons. Implant Seminars’ founder, oral surgeon Dr. Arun K. Garg, wanted to find a way to incorporate his dental implant surgery live from his clinic in Miami Beach to his training workshops held across the U.S.

Dr. Garg teaches his highly regarded techniques in placing and restoring dental implants to fellow dentists in a hands-on training environment. But while the academic instruction took place in a large meeting room, the most vital part of the training is observing the surgery first-hand. A typical oral surgery suite would limit effective training to only a few students at a time.

Now with LifeSize installed at Dr. Garg’s clinic, Implant Seminars is able to bring surgery to life for 60 students at a time, seated in a comfortable auditorium watching the surgery live over video. A standard LifeSize camera allows students to view Dr. Garg, and a high-quality medical camera mounted over the dentist’s chair gives students a close-up view of the surgical field.

“Giving a student literature and explaining the procedure by pictures and models is great,” said Dr. Arun K. Garg. “But allowing an entire classroom to get a first-hand view of the surgery and ask questions as we go along is invaluable to their learning experience.”

Both Vanguard Truck Centers and Implant Seminars have seen tremendous growth in their organizations since implementing LifeSize. Both companies made a small investment, made a major impact in the way they communicate and thus changed the way they do business.

Now that Dr. Garg and his team can conduct their seminars over video, they plan to take LifeSize on the road with them and hold even more workshops in locations such as San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, Atlanta, New York, Dallas and Los Angeles. By eliminating the need to travel, they can train even more doctors.

Similarly, because the Vanguard executive team can now spend more time in the office instead of on the road, the company is looking to open up more dealerships in other markets around the country. And because the Vanguard management response to telepresence was so positive, the company began using the LifeSize systems in the administrative, human resources and accounting departments as well.

“The value of being face-to-face with our employees, even though they are states away, is priceless,” said Greg Baxter. “We actually enjoy using LifeSize so much, the only time we use our cell or desk phones is when we’re away from the system!”

“Vanguard and Implant Seminars are excellent examples of companies that are now transforming the way they do business through video communications,” said Craig Malloy, CEO of LifeSize. “More than one-third of our customers are new to video, and their success shows that when you spend less time traveling, you can spend more time growing your business.”
