New York and Oslo, Norway (May 28, 2009) — TANDBERG announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has named the TANDBERG Telepresence T3 as a recipient of a 2008 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award.
The Telepresence T3 provides a highly collaborative and interactive meeting experience that enables totally natural face-to-face communication regardless of location. Its high-quality, immersive experience and interoperability make TANDBERG the leader in the telepresence industry. The Telepresence T3 is the only telepresence solution that can interoperate with third-party telepresence systems while maintaining the immersive telepresence experience. It is also interoperable with all standards-based PC, desktop and room video systems. The native interoperability of the Telepresence T3 means participants can connect easily when and where they need to without being locked into a specific system, network or bandwidth.
The Telepresence T3 development team, including a social anthropologist, collaborated with customer groups to evaluate preferred designs, colors and room set-ups to create an experience that is personal and comfortable while meeting the highest executive standards. Blue walls and specialized room lighting create a natural, three-dimensional appearance; wile warm wood walls, aluminum, and glass provide a sleek finish.
The design works in tandem with innovative technology invisible to the user. The Full HD (1080p) telepresence engines, large Full HD screens and PrecisionHD 1080p cameras, which are positioned for direct eye contact, ensure that participants appear as if they are in person. The TANDBERG Telepresence T3 also includes integrated touch collaboration screens to place calls and share presentations. Excellent sound quality is ensured by full-duplex spatial audio with super wideband stereo sound.
