Tandberg expands telepresence line, targets service providers

“But products are just one part of the choice,” he said. “Customers also want choices about network service offerings, which networks they want to connect to and the level of customer service they expect, right up to white-glove concierge service.”

Tandberg is offering a wide range of options to customers and to channel partners, and will work with service providers in almost any way to enable hosted and managed services, Nutley said. “We can give piece of mind whether [service providers] want to run on their network, use one of our partners for an overlay with white glove concierge service, or offer a hosted bridged service – nothing gets in the way of productivity of customers and users.”

The Tandberg Telepresence Server enables scalability of offerings by connecting different standards-based video conferencing, regardless of location or system used, Nutley said. Tandberg also enables a wide variety of viewing modes.
