Shanghai.  April  16.  INTERFAX-CHINA  - Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., a China-based   telecom   equipment   provider,  has  released  its  first telepresence  system,  the  ViewPoint  Telepresence  3006,  the  company announced on April 14. The company  has  shipped  more  than 3,000 high-definition telepresence terminals to date. Telepresence  systems  aim  to  give  users the impression that they are actually  present  in  remotely-conducted  conversations.  Such  systems usually  involve  the  use  of  multiple  microphones,  speakers,  high- definition monitors and cameras.

According   to  a  report  by  CCID  Consulting, high-definition  video conference solutions appeared in 2005, and attracted many high-end users such as  financial  departments, government bodies and utility companies in 2006  and  2007.  With  the  appearance of telepresence and some more advanced  high-definition  video conference systems, many companies will upgrade  their  existing  video conference systems on a large scale from 2008 to 2010, the report said.- ZDW
