BOCA RATON, Fla., March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Siemens Communications, Inc. today introduced OpenScape(R) Video, the first single-vendor, unified video conferencing solution integrating high-definition (HD) video, desktop PC video, voice and presence into a single powerful communication environment. Siemens' new portfolio of HD video endpoints makes it easier than ever to deliver high-quality video conferencing capabilities for everyone in an organization, supporting enterprises in their quest to cut travel costs and reduce carbon emissions.
Unified video conferencing brings everyone in the organization onto the same communication and collaboration infrastructure, so that the benefits of video communication can be expanded beyond the few conference rooms and users that are equipped by most traditional solutions.
OpenScape Video, when deployed with the OpenScape Unified Communications (UC) Server, also announced by Siemens today, enables video and voice endpoints to easily participate in the same conference calls and use the same directory and call numbering plans. By integrating video end-points with voice via the OpenScape UC Server, video conference calls can now be initiated based on presence information with a simple click on the desktop client. As part of Siemens' Open Communications approach, OpenScape Video is designed to operate in any existing IT or telephony
environment.
