Videonations to offer Europe’s First Next Generation, High Definition Videoconferencing and Telepresence Products from LifeSize.

LifeSize launch the industry’s first available standards-compliant 1080p30, 720p60 end points in the UK through Videonations.

UK – 21 October 2008 – Videonations, a leading supplier of High Definition (HD) video communications and audio visual solutions today announced that the latest generation of HD video communications products from LifeSize Communications are now available. These products include the LifeSize(R) Room 200(TM) – the first full HD (1080p at 30 frames per second/720p at 60 frames per second) videoconferencing solution, LifeSize(R) Conference 200(TM) – the world’s first standards-based 1080p telepresence system and the LifeSize(R) Team 200(TM) – a feature-rich HD visual communications system for workgroups.

To celebrate this exciting news and launch the products within the UK, Videonations is hosting a special preview at its premises in Altrincham on Friday 24th October from 11am where customers will witness, first hand, the most natural meeting experience available from the latest in HD video communications technology from LifeSize.

Ian Carter, Managing Director of Videonations says: “The next generation of LifeSize products really do have to be seen to be believed. The challenge we have in this industry is that there’s still a vast misconception that videoconferencing equals poor picture quality and is too expensive. This couldn’t be further from the truth because with the advent of High Definition; videoconferencing now delivers a truly natural meeting experience and is as good as being there. As well as being amazing quality, these next generation LifeSize products are also amazing value for money. Videonations has recently launched Video Express Zone – a service which allows businesses to benefit from the latest High Definition video communications from as little as £125.00 a month.”

“There’s never been a better time for businesses to integrate video into their communications strategy. Video is the next big wave of business communications – organisations that take it on while UK penetration is still in its infancy, especially in the SME market, will really benefit from having a competitive advantage. It won’t be long though, before video communications will be as essential to the smooth running of a business as the telephone or emails.”

Andreas Wienold, Director of Sales, EMEA LifeSize says: “LifeSize’s 100% pure HD video product portfolio is now the industry’s broadest and most affordable High Definition product line. Videonations is a top performing channel partner in the UK so it was a natural choice to launch these exciting new products with the help of the highly experienced Videonations team.”

Aside from enhancing competitive edge, videoconferencing reduces travel expense, time, stress and carbon emissions, speeds up response to market and accelerates decision making. LifeSize HD conferencing products from Videonations deliver superior video and audio quality, unique flexibility and unmatched cost-value ratio, allowing people everywhere to enjoy the many benefits of video communications.
